My point and click is 34. I'm betting close to 40 if it stays clear. I've been constantly +3-4 above forecast for the past couple of weeks. It's been beautiful but definitely not anything unusual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how the models are consistently busting on the cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Yesterday I went down to OC and walked the entire length of OC on the beach. 10 miles. The beach was covered in snow where the ocean doesn't make it. Today I hiked here locally. The trails at Bacon Ridge were a sheet of ice. The packed snow became thick ice. The temperature today stayed around 30 which made it nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just got home from Maine it's colder with more snow cover at my house. 27 and basically still full coverage going on 9-10 days. Pretty good for the tropics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 High of 29. True to forecast. Legit cold today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 High of 30. Currently 27. Still 95% snow cover in my wooded abode. Driving in the open areas there are some large bare spots in places mostly due to the perpetual wind thinning the snowpack, plus the sun doing its thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a potent lil system with good lift and a respectable amount of moisture to wring out overhead. You'll do very well, as usual. Hit 15.1 for a hi here today and now down to 11.7. Winds are dying down, so temps will probably tank early and then slowly rise as the clipper gets closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleocene Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I'm honestly not sure I remember a period of this much sustained snow cover in my time on the urban heat island (since 2010). Maybe 2013-2014 or 2014-2015? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for this afternoon and evening commute. A period of snow is POSSIBLE (a 30 to 50 percent chance) this afternoon and evening across the Baltimore and Washington metro areas with up to a half inch of accumulation on area roads. If this threat does materialize this afternoon and evening rush- hour, many roads could quickly turn snow covered. This could lead to dangerous traveling conditions on untreated surfaces. If commuting this afternoon and evening, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of travel disruptions. Plan ahead by allowing for extra travel time. Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Ah yes, WC of -35... toasty Beyond Sunday, the main story will be the cold. At the surface, a 1050+ hPa high will form to the east of the Canadian Rockies, then track southward along the eastern slopes of the Rockies, eventually reaching the Gulf Coast/Lower Mississippi Valley as a 1040+ hPa high by Tuesday night into Wednesday. An area of low pressure will simultaneously deepen and stall out to the east of Hudson Bay during that time. Such a configuration will enable a pure Arctic airmass to be drawn directly southward out of Northern Canada into the eastern two-thirds of the United States. Strong cold advection will ensue locally behind Sunday`s system, with temperatures crashing Sunday night into Monday, and remaining brutally cold through Tuesday and Wednesday. All signs point to this being the coldest three day stretch of weather in 5 years. Using Dulles as a proxy for the area, similar average temperatures to what are being forecast with the upcoming event last occurred 1/30-2/1 2019, and 1/5-7/2018. Daytime temperatures are forecast to hold in the teens and lower 20s for most on Monday, with single digits above/below zero in the mountains. Winds will gust to around 20-35 mph through much of the day, making wind chills -15 to -35 in the mountains, and -5 to 15 at lower elevations. Air temperatures will drop back to below zero roughly west of I-81 Monday night, with single digits above zero further east. Wind chills should reach below zero in nearly all locations Monday night, with central Virginia potentially being the lone exception. Slightly lower daytime temperatures and slightly lesser winds will result in similar wind chills during the daylight hours again on Tuesday (-15 to -35 in the mountains, -5 to 15 at lower elevations). Temperatures will once again drop into the single digits above/below zero Tuesday night. Some very slight warming is expected by Wednesday, with temperatures forecast to reach into the teens and lower to middle 20s. Winds will also be a bit lighter, enabling wind chills to make it into the single digits above/below zero at higher elevations, and teens at lower elevations. Cold Weather headlines will likely be needed at times Sunday night through Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
