Long standing low temperature records were set on the morning of the 7th as a fresh snow pack, calm winds, and clear skies allowed temperatures to plummet around 20 to 30 degrees below normal overnight. At Dulles International Airport at 7:25 AM the temperature fell to 1 degree above zero.  This smashed the previous record of 18 degrees set in 1977.   Other low temperatures recorded across Northern Virginia include 12 degrees in Fredericksburg and Manassas, 8 in Charlottesville and Great Falls (Fairfax Co.), zero in Edinburg (Shenandoah Co.) and at Shenandoah Valley Airport (Augusta Co.), 1 below at Lincoln (Loudoun Co.) and Winchester (Frederick Co.), and 4 below at the National Weather Service Office in Sterling (Loudoun Co.).  At Washington Reagan National Airport, the low temperature only fell to 18 degrees due to the urban heat island effect. The record low for December 7th is 10 degrees set in 1882.
