RIC_WX Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 After the March 1-2 2009 snow, my place west of RIC fell below zero on clear skies and 12" of fresh snowcover - pretty amazing given it was March. The CVA piedmont just radiates better than most of the area around DC, especially Leesburg - where seemingly any westerly wind component at all prevents temps from bottoming out. AKQ (at the NWS office) hit -2 on Sunday morning after the Saturday snow - and they are well east of the fall line. I don't think we made it to single digits up here. That said, the inverse is often true during torch periods when I am sitting in the upper 40's and everything east of RIC is 70+. I would guess this happens a few times seemingly every winter when rarely does CVA see consecutive nights of near or below zero temps - maybe once or twice a decade at best.

I know snowcover will make it colder, but the Richmond area was 15-25 degrees colder than MBY last night. Seemed like a pretty huge difference.

Seemed like a pretty huge difference. February 20, 2015 was one of those types of nights where it never quite cleared out or went calm in Northern VA. My parent's weather station in a somewhat sheltered low spot in Fredericksburg, which almost always radiates well, hit -12. DCA managed 5 and IAD hit 0. Some places in Central VA radiate surprisingly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 High of 24. Did a hike at Tuckahoe in the snow today while its still around and powdery. Was perfect, and not much wind. Ready for the warm up and rain now. Don't think I have ever had so many layers of road salt on my jeep. So gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, you live in another world with real winter expectations. This period is the coldest here as well. Of course the snow cover has a lot to do with that.
