It’s not winter rarity but we are in a 2 week oscillation pattern . Gets mild after this and then turns cold about 1/7 and that push looks like very cold air pouring down on us from PA/NY instead of rollover cold from Midwest
-
Low of 5 and currently 18 and peak low sustained winds wind chill last night -13
-
54 at midnight and 12 hours later 10. That’s a new 12 hour record for me.
-
23 is min high record for DCA from 1989 for Christmas Eve

I hope our tent guy isn’t Jack from Shining .

Yes this is not the top but it’s number 4,5,6 or something. I did not break my records for 1,3,6 hour drop rate but with 54 at midnight I’m going to break my 1983 record of 40 degrees in 12 hours.

Once the tent warms, what temp do you keep it at ?
-
At Garrett Co. airport temp dropped 35 degrees in 4.5 hours from 35 to 0 at 10:35am

We chatted 83 earlier, I was driving from DC to Salisbury. I stood in shade 10 feet away from choptank and faced the wind and thought “this is what it’s like to die “
-
Let’s say forvthe Washington Monument as location; T minus 8 hours?
-
I was driving on the old Choptank River bridge around noon Christmas Day and it was about 20 with winds right up the river, most whitecaps I’ve ever seen on it, and as winds cranked to 50 the spray starting freezing on the road deck and they closed it and super salted it and reopened. I never saw that before or after.
-
And MN might not some of those be cold mornings but a much milder afternoon as opposed to arctic blast plummeting the high? I wonder if NWS has top 10 temperature drops for 1,3,6,12,24 hours.
-
There was one other one and was it 83?
-
I wish I had posted my notes from Tuesday that DC area would go 55-60 before frontal and Norfolk 70. I’m up to 52 after 46/47 most if afternoon Bob Ryan used to have in his Almanac a weather event for every day. One was “chickens froze in their tracks” and might we have that here??????? It will be a Great Obs thread posting the hourly drops.
-
What kind of temp can be maintained inside the tent?
-
I got a feeling though that you may assess that this was close to your limit. Please give us a full honest assessment as to that. Thanks

Lot of snickering when I stated 70mph wind gusts would accompany this rare situation. Unless I read it wrong I saw a report from Wyoming and Colorado of 35 degree temp drops in one hour . I don’t think we can do that but I do think we can do 18-20 degree drop in 60 minutes Some of us who have been posting for 20 years closely remember our most special winter events. Get ready to put this one in your records to cherish forever
