Jebman Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I am really envying Boston right about now. They have cool refreshing weather, no trouble sleeping, with a WSW to boot. I, on the other hand, will be forced to wait until Tuesday night for any relief whatsoever. The Backdoor Front delayed, is the Backdoor Front DENIED, in our case. We will never see it in DC. It will have a tough time trying to battle its way to NE Baltimore before washing out in one of the worst heat outbreaks in April in recent history. We will be forced to wait til early Wednesday morning for any relief. The heat is far more powerful than any cool air in Canada or in the northern US. Global Warming is re-asserting itself and it will NOT BE DENIED! This is going to be one horrid, TORRID Summer. We are already holding rehearsals and we are already set for Broadway. In the meantime, I am on my 2nd sleepless night. The hallucinations will start around noon Sunday, I am told lol. Sleeplessness is the WORST and I am living it. I am living a waking nightmare in this torrid climate. Its HOT out there tonight and the house is 84 degrees with what feels like 60s dewpoints. I'm fresh out of options and am getting progressively more and more desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already down 11 degrees and dropping fast on a stiff E/NE breeze. It’s coming for you DC! I wish. There's a reason why Washington DC is a BOSS in heat outbreaks. We even school the Southwest at times, because of our horrible humidity. No backdoor relief for us. We have to wait until the conventional cold front smashes into us from the west. Enjoy your wonderful cool air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Does anyone know where that backdoor front is located now? I know it will never reach me, that i will be hot thru Monday. But I just have to know who is getting to enjoy all of that life-giving cool air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holds fast at 18z - brings the backdoor in by sunrise and lands almost all of us in the murk, down into the mid-40s by the evening. The Euro backdoors BWI late morning and DCA around 4pm. Not nearly as chilly. All hail King NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 10 hours ago, Cobalt said: This all the way. Highest vertical drop I could find by searching is 900 feet at Mount Bohemia in Michigan. I know that several ski resorts in the Midwest are also ungroomed too, which isn't the nicest for beginners. Personally, my family has rarely chosen to ski in the east, and so I learned to ski in Colorado/Utah on our yearly ski trips. A great place to move for tons of easy snow would probably be near JonJon. What other areas can say they got a Crippling/Top 10 (?) snowstorm from a Hurricane? Cobalt - if you are looking for vertical, go to the Alps. Several places there you can ski more than 2x the max vertical of anyplace in N. America. Jackson Hole or Whistler-Backcomb vie for the most vertical in N. America at just over 4000 feet. In Zermatt, you can ski over 8500' of vertical in one run. Go to the top, ski to town, and repeat and that's an entire day and a hard day at that. And.... you can ski anywhere you want. None of this "you ski off-piste and we'll punch your ticket and/or prosecute you" BS like in the US. I used to be an avid back-country tele-mark skier and anyone who really enjoys vertical needs to experience the Alps. Back on topic - am in Williamsburg today. What a big difference 24 hours and a little latitude will make. Mid-80's here yesterday and an ideal evening for outdoor dining. 60's today and the backdoor. Down here the pollen yesterday was unreal. In 3 hours our freshly washed car looked like Earl Shibe had given it his special paint job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Up to 70.5 here in Prince William va. I'm wondering if the front will make it through this far.

Temps will be on the rise towards morning. Interestingly, the mention of severe weather is in the forecast for here late tonight and tomorrow. I am guessing its limited to the potential for some damaging winds to mix down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 It's funny how the front is shaping up. True backdoor. It's not expanding as far west as quickly as it is south from the East. Eastern Fairfax county is a lot colder than Western Fairfax County. Finally making way into Woodbridge on the north side of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how close the front is but the winds switched to the east...not close enough to the bay for huge cool down but it is cooling down. Must just to my east.
