The great high pressure of Feb 1981.

My post was tongue-in-cheek anyway.

Josh's career peaked back when he was regularly posting here, but he's still making a pretty decent living for himself.

Kp 4 after being 6 earlier. Not gonna waste my time looking every 5 mins.

Massabesic Lake COOP in Rockingham county had a low of -43°.

I hit a roadblock at state selection just now. Maybe they’re having temporary issues.

Have you tried here for hourlies? https://www7.ncdc.noaa.gov/CDO/cdoselect.cmd

The -39F was on 2/16 along with the CON record of -37F. Maybe you just had a typo though.

Old scale

I put in a request for data from Limestone (and some other sites) and had no luck with beating the -52F or -54F. If you want to look at the data for the fun of it (while it's temporarily still available) here are the links.

For Maine...I know FVE had at least a -54F on 1/14/2004.

Yeah...before automation you had mainly hourly obs. MWN had all analog recording instruments and a thorough climate record so they had all of the paper charts of instantaneous obs saved. The 1-min ASOS data archive goes back to the early 2000s so if there’s a record wind chill since then you could look up those and find the precise coldest minute. You’re pretty much stuck with the hourlies before then.

The -107°F came from an observer so I presume it was an in-between hour reading considering the -44°F temp was in-between as well.

Maybe not. I just figured it was close to the record with that stretch given the -45F min and the 100mph winds.

Found an article from WMUR interviewing someone from the Mt Washington observatory and apparently the wind chill reach -107F during that Jan 2004 cold shot while the temp was -44F. And yeah, that Whiteface -114F isn't accurate. To beat those MWN numbers you need to do it with colder temps. At a certain point stronger and stronger wind magnitude only creates a negligibly lower wind chill.

You’re not kidding.

Mt Washington had a -103F on 1/16/2004.

No AURBO from MWN last night and they had 100 mile vis for awhile.

Skylar is over. Congrats on Toby though.

Maybe 3 8-hourlies is a better compromise? 8hr workdays...8hrs of sleep...8hrs of Super Bowl pregame...it all makes sense.

Isn't that the point of making it 6hrs? To allow for some compaction? I've said it before, but I don't like penalizing 1"+/hr rates on the tail end of large, long duration storms. In LES land...if you pull 20" in 12hrs, clear, and then another 20" in 12hrs, but the depth only increases another 6"....does that mean you should have 40" or 26"? If both 12hr samples had the same rates with the same amount is it fair to report it as 20" for the first 12hrs and only 6" for the last 12hr?

I'll give Pete B credit for explaining that on the air. Some here like to call him a clown for not always weenieing out, but in this instance he "gets" it and that was a nice little shout-out to Ray.
