WinterWxLuvr Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 So far we have not made it … temp has bottomed at 10 at KOKV. Have perhaps one more observation where a drop is still possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Low of 16. Thought it would be closer to 10 given how well it radiates here with snow cover, but maybe the wind didn't diminish as fast as forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GramaxRefugee Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 16/12 Still falling a bit, but 16 is probably my low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George BM Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 IAD got down to 14F (coldest temp since early 2019) DCA down to at least 22F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 LOL - the streak continues at DCA with a low of 22F. It's really getting insane that we can't get below 20. Next chance on Tuesday it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2015, for whatever reason, the pac jet has been consistently pushing pac maritime air into North America. Last time we had extended continental air pushes (2013-15) cold records went down and the bay froze across at the bridge. Is the pac jet just a wobble in the giant multi-decadal oscialltion or is it a response to warmer oceans and air? I'm leaning towards a wobble and not a new normal but worth watching and discussing in the coming years 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 1 hour ago, astarck said: It really just doesn’t get cold here anymore. I'm OK with that. We bottomed out close to the lowest temp we had in 2021 already... When it's cold enough to freeze your nostrils on the first inhale when stepping outside, I'm good. Colder than that doesn't help much. We've been below 0 several times but the last time we had some really big chill (-13F) was in Jan 1994. What a bad winter that was. Unless you're a penguin! We all had to walk that way with the damn ice on everything. The cold snap of 1985 too, was close to double digits below 0 here as well. I'd have to check but I believe the last time we were firmly below zero was Feb 2015. I know because we lost the pipe heaters in the turbine hall from a lightning strike in 2014 and ever since then if it goes below 0 for a few hours the water in the idle runs freezes up! Oh and another thing, the days of No.2 (dyed Diesel / heating oil) of 89 cents a gallon are LONG GONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 absolute beautiful winter scenes this AM around my house. Low of 17 - the snow that didn't melt off yesterday now sparkling crystal in the morning sun. More of this the rest of winter would be swell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’ve got money that says Monday is awful. Cold and wind coming up is my forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterFire Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’d wager Monday night is the best near-term chance for DCA to fall below 20. I’ve noticed (not at all revelatory, I know lol) that DCA and downtown is absolutely awful at radiatonal cooling, but if there’s cold pressing, it usually works out. Looks like Monday night will still have arctic cold pressing, something that’s been in remarkably short supply around here lately. I’m pretty optimistic for Monday night, but if that doesn’t work out, we will probably have to wait until after MLK to break the streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 DCA will easily make it below 20 with my min prediction during the stretch of 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 High of 27 for the second day in a row. Barometer crested at 30.66” this morning. I rarely see higher pressure than that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Not ZR, but tomorrow unfortunately looks like a snow eater. NAM is 40 and rain and the HRRR takes DC to the mid-40s prior to the front. Hoping the wedge holds more than that, but I’m not encouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In NYC, it really only cools down at night in winter if there is a north wind coming down the Hudson - otherwise you get days where it's like a high of 35 and a low of 29 or something.
