Cool weather tonight...

#1 Postby Anonymous » Tue Jan 06, 2004 5:02 pm

It's 32 degrees with a DP of 8 degrees. I get to take a nice cool jebwalk this evening and chances are, it may well be the coolest jebwalk I have taken so far this winter. Who knows, it may be 28 DP 4 by 7pm or so when I take my jebwalk. The winds are coming up nicely too, we have a nice cool breeze out of the NNW at 12 to 16 mph with gusts over 25mph. Altogether nice weather here tonight. :)

What is really filling me with joy is the ground: We got three-quarters of an inch of rain yesterday. The ground is nice and muddy. Tonight our progged low is 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

The ground will be frozen something nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)

Tomorrow we are looking forward to MUCH improved weather here: We are progged to top out at only 32 degrees!!! We will be 12 degrees below normal!!! Yeah baby!!! BRING IT!! BRING IT!!!!

Who knows? We could even be a little cooler than progged!!! MAN, Montana was near -50 last night!!!

What an awesome arctic airmass!!!!!!

I LOVE this wonderfully cool, comfy weather !!!!!!!

Oh I can barely wait to see the ice on all our local bodies of water!!! :) :) :)

UPDATE: It just fell to 31 degrees!!!!! Dewpoint fell to 7 degrees!!!
This is much nicer air!!!!! :) :) :)

Hey!! New Edit!! It's down to 30 degrees!!!

WOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I admit, 30 degrees is pretty COLD for the good people of the South.


It's not too cold up here though.......it is a bit chilly though.


HEY!!! We just fell to 29 degrees!!!!! Dewpoint is 6!!!!!! We just had a wind gusts to 27 mph!!! Winds are generally out of the NNW at 14 to 18mph, gusting to 27mph. Nice weather for this time of year!!! :) :) :)

I am REALLY going to enjoy my winterlike jebwalk tonight at 7pm!!!!! The way that temp is falling, it'll be 26 or 27 easy!!! Plus I get to enjoy nice NNW winds to go with it!!!!!!!

EDIT!!! That Dewpoint just fell to 5 degrees!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! :)


WOOOOOOOOOO--HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ARCTIC JEB!!!!!!! Bring It!!!! Bring It!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

One thing though, bet you Northerners could not handle the high humidities and the heat indecies here in the Deep South in the summer. Nor could you all handle the airplane sized mosquitos. ;)

Yeah I'd be dead in all that summer heat down there, Lindaloo. I went to Pensacola in 1997 for a revival and I made the mistake of lounging on the beach after sundown with NO 'skeeter repellent.

After that sun went down on the Pensacola, FL beach, the mosquitoes came out and never in my life have I ever gotten all bit up by 'skeeters so badly, so fast!!!

Nope, I can't handle your airplane-sized 'skeeters either.

I went for a jebwalk at 9pm EST tonight.

It was chilly, I must admit.

Can you say 21 degree ambient temperature, with -2 degree dewpoints?

Winds were N at 5 to 15 mph, gusts were hitting 29 once in a while.

This is quite a chilly jebwalk compared to that 31/7 Temperature/Dewpoint spread I enjoyed a couple weeks ago. The wind was nippy. I can say I have some very fine-quality gloves, they were really nice. I blasted the Christian music over my CD headphones as I walked around the Outer Rim of Potomac Mills. It took me 47 minutes to walk 2.1 miles. I found a puddle on the southeastern part of my walk. It was solidly frozen!! I happily slid back and forth on it!!! :) :) :) :)

What a wonderful, eminently enjoyable jebwalk!!!!

Okay folks, I believe you now about the pattern change. I have a lot to learn, but I DO believe you. Not only have the models reached a consensus, but JEB is on board too!! LOL!!

All the forecasters, Mets and professionals on this board are Da man!!! :)

There can no longer be any doubt in my mind that this is indeed a serious Arctic Front that hit me this afternoon, and that we are indeed experiencing Arctic advection.

By the way, what is a "jebwalk" and what distinguishes it from a "walk". :roll:

I went to the Outer Banks with my Christian singles group last October. I like going on long walks on the beach, and one of my friends there started calling my long walks there "Jebwalks". The name stuck and I have been referring to my walks as jebwalks ever since. There really isn't any difference between walks and jebwalks, they are all one and the same. I go out on jebwalks on the summer beach and in the winter snow.

I like to take similar walks...and just like you, the colder the better.
Most memorable one ever was actually just a few weeks ago during the big storm in early dec.
Temperature was around 17 or so with snowfall rates around 3-4 inches per hour. This was the storm, btw, that we got over 25 inches in less than 10 hours.
Anyways, I took a nice walk to downtown Fort Kent and climbed to the top of the ski mountain...about 600 feet high.
It was incredible with the knee deep snow, etc.
Probably, tho, my best walk will be coming this week. Currently outside the temperature is about 2 degrees, forecasted to drop off to -5 ish. After a high tommorrow around 3 degrees, we're forecasted to hit below -20...I do intend to take a walk the second we break -15.
That's a number, btw, that we're forecasted to break 4 times this week...I'm more excited about this than the prospects of a 2 foot blizzard.
Maybe if I was in the MA that would change...but up here, snow comes, it stays and is no real concern. I love cold.
Also, we're under a windchill warning for tommorrow and tommorrow night with forecast indicies near -25 to -45 and lower tommorrow during the day.

In response to the heat in the south...I really think it's overrated. I spent my first 18 years in Atlanta, moved up here and have actually found the summers up here *significantly* more uncomfortable. This is probably attributed, however, to the fact that virtually nothing...that's no exaggeration...has a/c. I ask people why and the only answer needed, apparently, is "we're Mainers."

Hey Will, it's not so much the heat, the humidity gets us everytime. 2003 wasn't by any standards "hot" in Charleston, SC. In fact, the temperature never exceeded 100º once or got even close (97º was the warmest). But many years, especially in Charleston, where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers add to the "humidity pocket". Many years, Charleston will have the highest dewpoint values in the country, and some years, Charleston will record heat indicy values consistently over 115º.

30º, (or this morning's 24º) feels like a cold slap on the face, or a knee to the ... nevermind, after being 81º just 36 hours prior. Image
