MN Transplant Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 It isn't fun weather, but we aren't talking enough about how windy/cold Friday is going to be. A slightly less crappy version of December 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 LOL, 0.4 of an inch on ground here, win! Hey, least it was sorta a surprise. NWS had a special winter statement out for freezing drizzle and sleet and we got snow. Last couple times they have called for snow and issued winter weather advisories we got nuthin'! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 This frontal blast thru could be interesting with snow showers it won’t get real cold tonight, low around 30 but temps will not rise Friday remaining around 30 and nw winds 15-25 gusting to 35. Bitter cold Friday night lows 10-15 and wind chill 0 to slightly below zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not UHI and other excuses, it’s something prohibitive to radiational cooling. The proof is when it’s windy DCA BWI and IAD are within 3 degrees of each other consistently. When calm or less than 5mph DCA is prevented somehow from radiating out and runs considerably milder, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also not in a River, it’s mostly surrounded by parkland with River to ne-e-se and mostly undeveloped land mass otherwise except due west. Something known as a Parkway runs right by DCA. There’s a reason things are called Parkways-lots of trees surrounding. Chesapeake Bay is very deep and broad. Potomac not.

Annapolis does not have radiational issues lol at the idea of DCA being surrounded by parkland. It's square in the middle of an urban area, beside a river. Of course it doesn't radiate. I live in upper NW a good 350+ ft above DCA, and I hardly radiate (I'm usually within 2-3F of DCA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on tight to your feelings and perhaps drive in all directions near the site and you will experience far more parkway surroundings than fully developed commercial. This is Not like true urban downtown DC around Willard or White House which is almost entirely developed commercial and macadam and concrete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you absurdly offering that in far NW DC you do not radiate out???? I’m 5 miles north of you and have NO radiational restrictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt that living within a few miles of the District means you radiate like someone in a rural area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, that's absurd. DCA is located in an urban area. Do you think Central Park radiates because the station has some trees around it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
