StudentOfClimatology Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Current temp imby is 36 but the dp is only 12..if dews can stay in the teens/low 20s, we'll probably see some decent wetbulb responses during the precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most of us will drop back below freezing this evening. I just don't expect this to be a big deal aside from the far reaches.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Freezing rain advisory out for the entire area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Easy peasy forecast for Woodbridge. Increasing clouds with a short period of vanishingly light freezing drizzle maybe about 14 drops of light freezing rain before strong surface warming plus a raging warm nose changes the precip to a steady regular rain most of the day Monday with highs near 43 degrees. It's not a particularly hard forecast - this aint Alberta Canada. This is northern Virginia the winter after we got 50 inches of snow. We'll see a lot of rain this winter. Easy forecast. East based -NAO plus a vanishingly weak Nino will see to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 High of 36 but it quickly fell back to 32 now. Air still real dry, but it's overcast. Icicles took a beating today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 37 degrees here at 750pm, looking forward to some regular rain later on tonight. Dewpoints are rising fast, so cooling will NOT cause ice tonight in Woodbridge. We are going to get away with this completely scot-free! I'm so enthused about cartop coating of raindrops. Its encouraging that most of the snow and ice on roads is not only melted, but dried up. You guys in Winchester can have all the freezing rain and horrific car accidents you want. It's going to freezing rain in the mountains right thru Monday night. We need a good rain to wash away all this crud on our streets. The brining crews went overboard like usual - everyone is so damn afraid of an unexpected snow or ice event making them look bad. To add insult to injury: Guess who pays for all that unnecessary brining? That's damn right - WE DO! We pay for it all IN FULL. Don't they realize that the overall weather pattern this winter means 99.999999999999 percent of our events will be regular rain. regardless of how cold it gets the night before? I am certain that Fairfax, Arlington and DC road crews will drop at least an inch of road salt on all their roads after that horrifying debacle with the last clipper lmao.

Bob Chill Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm sitting right at 32 but the school up the hill is 33.2 according to wxbug. I sit in a stream valley so it's not unusual. Odd that places n and w are warmer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air temp 35.7 LMAO on the slick driveway! Loudoun, especially western Loudoun is beautiful countryside but you pay for it in colder winters. There is something good to be said for eastern Prince William being only 65 feet above sea level and 37 mild degrees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually quite pleased lol. I am GLAD I will not have to deal with all that ice like Loudoun will. I'm nearly 51 now, I aint no spring chicken like 10 years ago. I fall on that ice now I will get hurt BAD, and for keeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
