mattie g Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Closest PWS got down to 0.3. Color me unimpressed. I mean...if it's going to get cold, then it might as well go below zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Record Temperature at Norfolk:... 9°. Broke the daily record of 13° set in 1896. The 9° reading is the latest single-digit reading on record for Norfolk. The previous latest such reading occurred on February 14 in 1899. Records go back to 1874.

T. August Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Pretty disappointing here. It hit 2F. I'm holding out hope that tonight's cold will over-perform and I can snag that elusive 0F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Record Temperature at Norfolk:... 9°. Broke the daily record of 13° set in 1896. The 9° reading is the latest single-digit reading on record for Norfolk. The previous latest such reading occurred on February 14 in 1899. Records go back to 1874. Now that is impressive. DC has a chance for its lowest maximum temperature ever this late in the season, if the NWS forecast high of 15 degrees at DCA were to verify. The current record holder in this regard is 16 degrees, which was reached on February 24, 1914 at the old 24th and M Street location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 -1 was the low. Hit zero at 1:30 so I figured we would get close to -5 but it held steady. Still pretty remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Looks like I bottomed at -3. I think that is the coldest I have been since 2/5/96 which was -4. Last January I hit -2 twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyS Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Now that is impressive. DC has a chance for its lowest maximum temperature ever this late in the season, if the NWS forecast high of 15 degrees at DCA were to verify. The current record holder in this regard is 16 degrees, which was reached on February 24, 1914 at the old 24th and M Street location. As I just posted on the Capital Weather Gang thread "120-year-old record low broken in D.C., one of many today and in the past week": "DCA just hit 18 degrees, so no record there. However, it just dawned on me that IAD's maximum of 15 degrees yesterday (February 19th) broke its record for lowest maximum this late in the season. The previous record was March 1st (1980), at 18 degrees. Currently, it is 13 at IAD, but the forecast high is 17, so yesterday's record will probably stand for a while."

Scuddz Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 More ice fun: http://www.natice.noaa.gov/pub/special/ches_del_bays/2015/charts/all/Ches150220color.jpg I'll attach this here too. I made the same slide shaded so that you can see the ice underneath the shapefile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 0 for the low .Was 3 at 11pm. Really surprised only dropped 3 degrees in 7 hours. Winds were gusting to 25 all night. I'm sure that didn't help the cooling. Lows in Kentucky were freaking incredible. 850s peaked late night then rose a bit. Probably part of the reason it wasn't a tumble all night. Imagine we'll get some good big drops early tonight though clouds may come in too soon to get near/below morning readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 NWS seems too cold for DC at least. Getting an official high below 20 here is pretty hard and MOS has been above 20. 20 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks for posting these ice maps they're interesting to look at. I was comparing it with the 2/18 map and noticed on that one the 70-90% area was on the east side of the bay near Talbot and Dorchester and the 90-99% was on the west side along Calvert. It appears those two areas flipped on 2/20. What would cause that, just minor variations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(WNEW/AP) — The Virginia National Guard flew in food, medicine and mail to ice-bound Tangier Island, and the mayor said a Coast Guard cutter was on its way Friday to open a passage to this tiny fishing and tourism outpost in the middle of Chesapeake Bay. http://washington.cbslocal.com/2015/02/20/guard-delivers-provisions-to-ice-bound-chesapeake-bay-island/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
