I agree its not very uncommon to have warmer days this time of year especially in Virginia, our weather is just strange.. 80 deg one day 40 the next. My allergies hate it though! I am ready for the snow to come but I am sure sometime in Feb. I will be wishing it was warm again!!!!!

Mother Nature's just messin' with the woolly bear. But fear not, the woolly bear always wins.

December 12th, that's when we're getting the first big snow. That's what I guessed in last month's poll and that's the story I'm sticking with! Right up to then it can be as tropical as St. Thomas--I'm cool with that. But it's snowing on 12-12, starting at 12:12 p.m.

It is not winter here yet! Although probably hard for someone further north to believe, November is not really winter here, it is still fall on the calendar and in reality too. It is not uncommon to have pretty nice weather in November, mixed in with some colder weather.

Same goes for December. We might get a few storms in December, but we'll get warm weather too. Winter starts slow but then gets down to business Jan-Feb. And we often get a big storm in March.

So if I plan to leave DC Metro for a weeks vacation, and I plan to avoid the week with the worst weather in DC, what dates am I looking at?

(I always took vaca in Chicago the first week of February-lowest of low cold/highest of high possible snow)

It's always different. First week of February sounds as good as any other date. Go to the Caribbean for Groundhog's Day and you and the groundhog can wear Hawaiian shirts and boogie down to the island music, mon.

Virginia has what I call even seasons. It will start to get quite cold around the first official day of winter. Then you will have the weird warm days thrown in somewhere thanks to global warming. BTW I want another blizzard of '96!!! And them some.
