  1. Yikes... looks like the lake effect machine will be running wire-to-wire for folks who've already been blasted so far this winter.
  2. Pushing 60 now. Sure, why not.
  3. cold is much more tolerable absent a stiff wind.
  4. With an overnight low of just 33F, DCA looks to enter another extended period of temps remaining above freezing in the heart of winter. Unreal.
  5. Low of 14.4F here - now up to 29F. Actually not too bad out since the wind is light.
  6. we def had some. Hopefully this killed them off for now.
  7. wind chill on Mt Washington approaching -110F. I guess you'd only see something like that MAYBE in some of the highest peaks in Alaska or in Antarctica (obviously where air temps routinely get below -100F in parts), right?
  8. yeah that is one of the more insane streaks.
  9. Yeah the wind is brutal today. Since it's not gonna snow, I'm glad we'll be back to early Spring in less than 48 hrs.
  10. I mean you were the one who commented with the childish "oh so you're gonna delete my posts but not other ones" nonsense. Grow up.
  11. Dude with 96 posts here - not sure if this is the approach I would use to interact with other folks on here.
  12. we had that kind of cheap spike as the front moved through. This is one of those times when I am a bit colder than DCA (still at 32F). Elevation plus a more or less uninterrupted northerly fetch here (we're the highest point around) is probably the reason.
  13. 27F here in Tenley with some elevation. Looks like DCA hit 41 around the 4-5am hour, so that streak will live on for one more day. Obv it will end tomorrow.
  14. Just because there are some trees between the airport and the high rises of Crystal City, that doesn't mean it's "surrounded by parkland" and should radiate. 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?
  15. No - it's an urban area with a significant built environment. I'm at 37F right now and DCA is at 38F. I highly doubt that living within a few miles of the District means you radiate like someone in a rural area.
  16. 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).
  17. B/N today at DCA but still hit 40F. lol. Obv tomorrow and Sat we will finally break our streak of >=40F highs.
  18. I was at Killington once at the top of one of the mountains when it was about -30F with a windchill in the -40s. That was not fun. The resort was shutting down lifts it was so cold.
  19. statisticians, data scientists, etc are always dealing with very messy, problematic datasets from which they are still able to glean meaningful insight.
  20. they are collected in a variety of ways, but even so, any sort of bias (like you suggest would come from UHI or a faulty recording sensor etc) can easily be detected and corrected via statistical methods.
  21. UHI accounts for such a small portion of the surface area of Earth that it's a non-factor.
  22. BREAKING: It got below freezing at DCA overnight.
  23. Fred la marmotte up in Quebec died, so I feel like our source of cold air is in trouble folks.
  24. back in the day posting 300+ hr maps used to get you banned or at least laughed out of the room.
