0.13" overnight. Clearing enough to see the moon now. 33f

ETA: Fog. Don't forget patchy fog.

Wow I remember that winter! Ice jebwalks are the very best! It was ice after ice after ice! I was savoring leisurely ice jebwalk after leisurely ice jebwalk, dancing on the ice like Michael Jackson while everyone else was falling HARD busting their hips on the solid glacier!

But...we were all 28 years younger then. (Strong as an ox, and nearly as smart.)

25 the low

DCA's record high on the 10th is 67, which is the lowest record high for December until you get to the 17th (64 degrees).

 

Low hanging fruit. Hard to believe that 64 hasn't been broken. Would only take a departure of 18f. 

(I can't believe I'm replying to this crazy thread)

FInished November with only 1.02" at my place. (Pretty sure I'm at one of the low spots)

Lowest 25f, highest 75.

26f, widespread frost. 

Windshield scraping and everything.

Ice on the river. Like winter.

BWI - 17.1”

DCA - 11.2”

IAD - 18.3”

RIC - 9.4”

SBY - 6.2”

29 for my low.

Have 13 days in Nov reaching 32 or colder at my (typically warm) station.

No snow here yet. Overcast.

Thought I might have seen something in-between classes but couldn't stop to look, so still have not seen first flakes.

I can't believe you didn't cut class to check. What's more important, after all?
New overcast deck blowing in here. Haven't seen any precip yet.

That amount of snow has trapped someone? Shouldn't the roof at least be covered? 
Now we know how those in wintery places feel when they read about Fairfax Schools.

0.20" overnight 

Currently windy with a bit of clearing.

Ground is getting hard enough to split logs without a block.  Nice!

Skim ice on both the swamp and the river this morning on the drive in.

DCA made it to 30 this morning too lol

Well of course, now that the contest is decided they turned off the heater. (We should be flattered they watch us so closely)

You inspired me to look, and it shows Mannassas went to 17. Dang. 

Teens and 20s into VA and the Carolinas. Tallahassee went to 28f. 

Not much bio information about Doug Hill on the net, but I saw this article, and think most AmWx members would like to read it:

Youngsters note that Mr. Hill didn't have a college degree, and even with the USAF, (one of the biggest names in weather), he was not assigned to a weather detail.

Andrews was 31.  H2O in Alex was 31.  I was 30.  I don’t know what you are talking about.  We know exactly where the thermometer is, in the middle of a grassy area on the river side of the runways.

True....but Nov 20 however....those stations were all in the 20s while DCA still clung to 33.   Andrews 25, I think, so that's 8 degrees right there.  Nat'l Arboretum was 28. DaleCarlia was 27.

I'm not digging into the reasons, wind direction etc, but just to make an honest comparison.

low 28.

DP 23

Low of 26.

And beautiful sunshine. 

About 0.40" in the gauge and still raining.

Only got to swim 100 free yesterday and will be the first heat of 100 breaststroke today. I got a 52 in the 100 though so I am almost guarantied to be on the team. podium

.....with numbers like that.

You were shooting for 55 (I think). I don't pretend to know what's a top number, but don't sell yourself short. Aim high.

What site did you get that table from?

 I think WxUSAF said DCA so that's what I looked at.

For DCA it was apparently the coldest first week of November since 2002. But still no freeze.

A great winter for snow lovers. Very similar Nov so far....cold early then quite warm. Didn't freeze until 11-27-02. Then quite cold to end the month.

31 but approaching 30 when I left. Will see when I get home.

First freeze for my station. Plenty of frost throughout the neighborhood.

Almost all local dewpoints have now fallen to below 32, as of the 1pm obs.

Including Richmond

34 here, but must've been too busy raining to frost. Dripping wet out there, and .02 in the gauge. Sky clear however.

Edit at 8:10...Frost on neighbor's roofs. Up the street the usual places have heavy roof frost; like the picture Mappy posted.
