    Dude with 96 posts here - not sure if this is the approach I would use to interact with other folks on here.

    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.

    ding ding ding

    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.

    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?
  6. pazzo83
    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.
  7. pazzo83
    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).

    B/N today at DCA but still hit 40F. lol. Obv tomorrow and Sat we will finally break our streak of >=40F highs.

    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.

    statisticians, data scientists, etc are always dealing with very messy, problematic datasets from which they are still able to glean meaningful insight.
  11. pazzo83
    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.
  12. pazzo83
    UHI accounts for such a small portion of the surface area of Earth that it's a non-factor.

    BREAKING: It got below freezing at DCA overnight.

    Fred la marmotte up in Quebec died, so I feel like our source of cold air is in trouble folks.

    back in the day posting 300+ hr maps used to get you banned or at least laughed out of the room.

    Weren't the state records set in MN back in 1996? I distinctly remember watching coverage of lows in the -60F range. Edit: and if I click your link I can see that this memory was accurate lol

    96 was just wall to wall. We had snow in Nov. We had snow in April. Obv we had the Blizzard, but there were a TON of other storms. In the Shenandoah Valley, we got WELL below zero in February (minus teens). That was winter.
  18. pazzo83
    '96 will probably never be topped, in terms of just wall-to-wall winter.

    34/33 here at approx 380ft in Tenleytown.
  20. pazzo83
    34.5/ 33.3 a couple hundred feet higher than you
  21. pazzo83
    i mean let's go!
  22. pazzo83
    lol it's just grand, ain't it?
  23. pazzo83
    38F and rain. Bleh.
  24. pazzo83
    for the stations that have them in their period of record, some of those dust bowl-era records are gonna be tough to beat. I suspect we will do so eventually, though.

    53/38 is climo for places along the coastal plain about 200 miles to the south. I guess that is largely our future.
