The ice storms since then have been garbage. Moderate rain at 31.7 degrees that glazes some bushes or tips over a dying tree in Northern Virginia is not an ice storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolsheds Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 1 hour ago, losetoa6 said: Good stuff lol. I think Westminster had a high around -1 or 0 one day . @Sparky might know for sure I seem to recall that Manchester hit -7 on the thermometer we had in the back yard. We had water pipes which froze under the porch that week. I remember chipping the ice away under the porch to get the door open to get to the pipes. I had to keep boiling water and dumping on the ice to melt it and the chip really quickly. That took hours. I also commuted to college in the City and that year I had 2 full weeks of class cancelled because of the weather. I think we had the week back cancelled, had classes for a week and then had the third week off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember lows being -10 to -15 range a few times. I thought the daytime high was somewhere in the -7 range because i remember seeing the temp gauge working on the 2 inch Ice rink. That was miserable. I also remember the foot of snow followed by another inch or two of ice the following week. I stood on top and trued to jump to break through.....and couldn't That was a crazy stretch of winter weather. Did you live up there back then?
