Today was a beautiful winter day. I hiked out to Annopoils Rocks today. It was only about 13 degrees at the summit. Their was about 5" of powder on top of a couple inches of old snow. 

I went hiking there during the storm Sunday, its a beautiful spot, though I think it does look a better during the storm

 

[dailylurker]

I would of loved being up there for a storm. I bet the hike was awesome. The snow was really powdery and the trail was really squeaky packed powder. I could really cruise. 10/10 trail conditions. You don't even need micro spikes. I didn't see one person today. 

Down to 15 already.

DCA disgraceful again

as the MIC told me 20 years ago when we stopped communicating as much-“We work for the FAA.  The FAA does not care if it’s 20 or 25. We don’t work for the NWS nor  weather weenies” 

High at DCA was 25.  High at my house a few miles away and 300+ feet higher: 24.  What exactly is your point here?  Also I'm pretty sure it's important to the FAA and pilots in general what the actual temperature is.

Not sure what was surprising about DCA last night.  16 for a low.  Andrews was 13.  That seems like a reasonable difference.

He just gets upset when it doesn't reflect the temperature at his exact location.

[Mbusada1]

Just makes you wonder HOW cold it was in that location when the record was set. -27 there this morning. Elkins was -15, Lewisburg -2 and WSS -4. I know you can't correlate exactly, but if all those stations were -28 to -37 on that morning makes you think Canaan would/could have been in -40 to -45 range easy.

I may be wrong, but I think the record was set in that location. It’s in the Canaan National Wildlife Refuge. It’s a natural cold sink and it’s the lowest point in the valley. It’s often 10-12 cooler there than other spots in the valley.

the record was set in Lewisburg, which is off of I-64 in eastern WV.

It was amazing for the first part. I went all the way to black rock so the last 2 miles out of 8 was a bit of a slog, got some amazing pictures of icicles and the snow. Also saw some of the heaviest snow I've ever seen with snow fog obscuring visibility to the end of straight parts of the trail. Would highly recommend going there next time us lowlanders are going to fail, though did have to learn how to drive on snow covered roads for the first time on the way back for 20 miles. Regardless, made an awesome Sunday.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was the thinking it was in 2022 at Canaan. I remembered hearing on the radio that the NWS was trying to verify that the temperature was correct at Canaan, and they ended up settling at -31.

Found this article below. Canaan Valley
Known for its winter activities like skiing and snowboarding, Canaan Valley in Tucker County expects and even welcomes cold temperatures during ski season. This year, it may have gotten a little colder than anyone would have bargained for. On Jan. 22, 2022, Canaan saw record-breaking temperatures and experienced its coldest ever at -31° F.

It’s deep winter stuff out there. Looks like our warm up isn’t gonna be all that warm.

Already down to -13 there at 8pm.  Will be interesting to see how low it goes tonight.

[Terpeast]

[snowfan]

I’m going to miss this cold. We don’t get runs like this every winter. I’ve had at least some snow on the ground since the snow showers moved in the evening of Friday January 3rd. Thats a damn good run for AA Co.

I had the warmest coast I got today  and tonight and it worked, My regular was not doing it.  This was benevolent because no 20-30  winds so was able to be out. Face knows it took a beating. 
14.2 here at 10p.  Still 80% 1-4” snow cover  from full sun to full shade

4.5! I had an overnight low of 3.6.. It seems that may not be the low of the day if the dropping continues at this rate.
