ef-2,lucky that it only was on the ground for some 4 mins.. best story heard here, two guys stuck on roof and held on. somebody used up their St. Jude passes.
 
I had 53f this morning (new record low). That is my 5th day this July reaching into the 50s. All records. BWI is the same:

I know this is rather ho-hum to you northerners, but this is just amazing for us. The only way we get a cool July normally is if it rains all month. This summer has been mostly beautiful.

more from NWS LWX:
.CLIMATE... CHILLY MORNING WITH A RECORD LOW OF 48 AT DULLES. THIS IS THE COOLEST MORNING LOW IN JULY SINCE JULY 12TH 2002. NOT TO BE OUTDONE...EVEN IN THE URBAN CENTER...THE MORNING LOW OF 60 AT REAGAN WAS THE COOLEST IN JULY SINCE THAT SAME DATE IN 2002. AT DULLES...WE ARE ON TRACK FOR THE COOLEST JULY SINCE 2001...AND THE YEAR-TO-DATE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF 51.5 DEGREES IS THE 5TH COOLEST ON RECORD /DATING BACK TO 1962/. AT BWI...A RECORD LOW WAS SET OF 55 DEGREES...THE COOLEST IN JULY SINCE JULY 3RD 2007.

If you're not familiar with the DC area, Reagan National has been a hotspot for years. Generally warmer than stations deep into VA and NC.

Notice the 2002 analog keeps popping up. Polish up them snow shovels.

Edit: Well, make it 6 days in the 50s. I had 58 this morning.
Appologies to the northerners for making this seem like a big deal, but.....well, it is. (You can mock us when we rave over a 20" snowfall too, I suppose.)
