I sit in a valley that can really capitalize during prime rad cooling....It can be frustrating during marginal events tho..lol Sometimes I can drive one mile in either direction and see snow accumulating but just white rain at my house. That is VERY frustrating. Almost as much as watching the Caps playing Boston tonight....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 11/6 atm - dp is creeping up a bit. Was at 3 around dusk. Just came in from outside. Is dead calm with a high/thin overcast. Guess some of the "moisture" from the UL jet is bumping up the dp. Used the term "moisture" loosely... still feels dry as a bone outside even with 80% rh.

pazzo83 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 DCA getting stuck at 20 does DCA get stuck like Central Park does with light/no wind? Since NYC doesn't radiate, to actually get an appreciable drop in the night temp in winter you need some CAA with basically a due north wind coming down the Hudson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since NYC doesn't radiate, to actually get an appreciable drop in the night temp in winter you need some CAA with basically a due north wind coming down the Hudson DCA also rarely gets calm winds. They're always blowing. While everyone may get calm winds, they'll have winds at about 5 mph, for whatever reason. They also rarely approach 100% humidity. Again, not sure why. They seem to max out at 95% humidity (even during all day rains). It's a unique location for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, edit. 17 hours ago, WVclimo said: From my experience camping a lot in the winter, that zero-rated bag is probably good to about 15 degrees. An insulated sleeping bag liner, or better yet a vapor barrier liner, can compensate for at least half of the difference. The rest you have to make up with good ground insulation and the clothing you wear to bed. I'm jealous of your evening. Bet the skies were awesome out there last night ! It was really beautiful out there with the spruces and snowcover, but towards the end it was less "this is so lovely" and more "oh **** I think I might actually freeze to death." Guess that's part of the appeal though, there's something humbling about getting your ass kicked by nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 IAD is now below normal for temps for December. BWI should be after today. DCA looks to make it BN on Sunday. Out my way, MRB is still +1.2 but has a shot at a negative month. HGR is +2.3 and will likely finish above normal for the month. Yesterday's -17 at MRB was the second largest negative departure of 2017, after the -19 on Veteran's Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 For precip, the 0.47" this month at DCA is currently tied with 1965 for the second-driest December since 1900. Only 1955 was drier, at 0.22". 1980's 0.65" is next on the list, but that one looks safe. At IAD, only 1980 had a drier December than this year (since 1963.) BWI's 0.89" is ahead of 4 other Decembers since 1900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
