mitchnick Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I remember hearing one of the Accuwx forecasters from back in the late 70's when we had similar cold days use the term "ineffective sunshine" that sure describes today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 This morning's -2 matches the morning low on 1/7. The high was 11 but no snow cover. Interesting to see if I stay below 11 today. It was 7 at midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ensembles keep us below normal through the end of next week. They diverge a bit after that. GFS stays below normal but the euro gives a brief modest warmup for 3 days starting around the 2nd-3rd but cold reloads in western canada and oozes our way verbatim. Saturday may be our warmest day out of the next 10 or so. Shot next week won't be as cold as this one it seems but it will be cold either way. Not sure how you can get a better stretch of winter wx with the atlantic being as hostile as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you can get a better stretch of winter wx with the atlantic being as hostile as it is. Going to post some respectably negative departures for January for BWI and IAD at least. Add climo+ snow and January will probably shake out as our best winter month door-to-door since Feb 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Record low max temps in play to today at all 3 airports: BWI: 19F IAD: 20F DCA: 21F Those are probably lay-ups for BWI and IAD. DCA should/could break that, but never can trust DCA to break a cold record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Still 12 at DCA. Doesn't feel that cold for some reason. Sun angle. Today, it might actually be the midnight high that messed up the shot at coldest since '94, unless DCA got down to 8 in between hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSnow Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Today, it might actually be the midnight high that messed up the shot at coldest since '94, unless DCA got down to 8 in between hours. My car thermometer always registers 2 degrees high (after observing it for almost 8 years). When I arrived in Crystal City this morning at about 6:45, my car showed 9, which would indicate 7 at nearby DCA. So it's possible it did dip between hours.
