Yesterday, my Dad had a significant fall and needed a lot of stitches. I am hoping to get out later and check ice conditions and might try to photograph the moon rise. As of Saturday, the local ponds (one that is a couple acres big) were completely iced over and snow covered. The inlets along the Patapsco River had slushy ice and some large chunks of ice on the beach. The mouth of Rock Creek and Stoney Creek were completely ice free (they are pretty wide) but I noticed while going over the Rock Creek Bridge it was completely iced over and snow covered. I have heard a ton of gunfire today, at least 100 shots, waterfowl hunting must be pretty good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your dad gets well soon and not too much hunting up this way, we buy the blind license every year to prevent them from using the water along our shore.

Thanks. I was able to get out for a few. There has been a decent buildup of ice in this channel along Rock Creek/Patapsco River today. It was a balmy 20 degrees when I took this photo.

Jebman Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Another excellent refreshingly cool winter night for jebwalking, at 10 degrees, with a shweet -6 degree dewpoint. Someone remarked that the Arctic front is over the Yucatan. Just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Wind has been blowing pretty hard for the past couple hours. Real deal deep winter night. Was 12 around 8pm. Then shot up to 16 and now dropping to 14. My point and click 10 day has been trending colder. We should have some serious ice on area waterways. It's nice having actual winter temps.

Bob Chill Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Another great walking night. Digging the full moon and the half inch of snow has barely melted. Creek is frozen thick. Low sun angle and sub freezing highs can really prolong a minor snowfall. Wind had some teeth. Wouldn't want to be walking around in a candy apple red speedo. We're having a real winter in these parts even without deep snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 At 7 am when I report it was 1.2 degrees with a DP of -4.8 degrees, wind was W at 6 mph, WC of -10.4 degrees. It is now 0.8 degrees at 8:15 with the DP same and wind W at 5 mph, WC -9.5. The wind makes it feel colder but if it had completely died down we would have been closer to that DP. BTW that 1.2 shattered record low of 10 from 2002 and the high of 20.8 broke 1999's 30 for low max. Already broke tomorrows low with the 0.8 reading, old mark is 10 in 2001 until report time.

clskinsfan Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Got down to 7 last night. I usually get used to the cold pretty quickly. But not when it is this cold. It was kind of miserable walking out to my car this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is legit, especially with essentially no snow cover. Our lake by work in Gaithersburg is completely frozen shut with the exception of one area with a continuous congregation of geese. Even during the cold year of '13 - '15 it never froze this shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astarck Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 As of 5:30pm today, my backyard weather station has been below freezing continuously for a week. I can’t say I thought that would be possible here. It will be interesting to see if tomorrow breaks the streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been an impressive stretch to say the least. Friday and Saturday will be the coldest of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
