    I dont know what to tell you bro?  My truck at noon read 28. When I left work it read 31 and settled back to 30.  And by the time I got to the gym it was reading 29. I phone app said 30 at 3:15 for the high as well.  
     

    The 1 pm readings that Dendy posted had 29 in Waterbury…I’m next town over to that just to the ENE. Maybe somewhere in town it was officially 32 or 33…I don’t know. Wasn’t trying to make it sound colder…Homie don’t play that.  You were about 32 and in direct sun as you stated, so if you take the sun off your temp, you’d be about where I was I believe.  

    33 here was tanning the nape with ice on my knee. Really felt great not looking forward to Wednesday night and Saturday. Spring can come but like I said because I am on the DL buckle up.  Lol if anyone thinks we go right to Spring because of a couple days above freezing . We are at risk for a March of yore too. Too much snow in Eastern Canada with a negative WPO in the cards then of course the SSW wildcard.

    Buckle  up?

    First time driving since my knee replacement on the 13th. Totally impressed by the piles and more impressive are the icicles on the old homes. 31⁰ here first day of some melting. But what a gorgeous landscape. Some of us can enjoy the gift of nature while others grouse about needing more. Says alot

    Do you not use water?  Even if you are on municipal water, it got pretty tight last year in a lot of places.  I'm on the board of my village water system and we had to buy water for several months last year.  Right now, even though we have good snow cover and there is a lot in the mountains, I would venture a guess that the actual amount of water in the snow pack isn't all that impressive.

    Still plenty of slush in spots under the snow even up to Winni. Downside to the weight of a deep pack. Plenty of ice, but makes a pain to navigate. Been trying to keep a hockey rink cleared and its finally firmed up enough under the snow to shovel to top off without making a total mess

    Check this out! The Copernicus Sentinel satellite captured this high-definition image of Narragansett Bay on Saturday. The high resolution of the image shows where the bay is beginning to freeze over, such as in Greenwich Bay, just south of Warwick. There is also plenty of ice in the East Bay, along with a decent-sized ice field west of Prudence Island and in the Sakonnet River.

  6. New England Cold wave of 1857. January 1857 was the coldest month ever recorded in New England. Average month temperatures of 16.7 °F (−8.5 °C) in New Haven, 16.8 °F (−8.4 °C) in Boston, and 19.6 °F (−6.9 °C) in New York City remain coldest months on record in those cities. The worst of the cold descended on New England on January 22 with January 23 being one of the coldest days known in the region. In Bath, Maine a temperature reading of −52 °F (−47 °C) and in Franconia, New Hampshire −51 °F (−46 °C) were recorded. In Norwich, Vermont −44 °F (−42 °C) was recorded. Boston suburbs of Malden and West Newton recorded −30 °F (−34 °C) overnight. Boston temperatures for January 23 never rose above 0 °F (−18 °C) all day and Nantucket Island was connected to the mainland by ice. In New York City, Erasmus Hall in Brooklyn reached a high of 0 °F during the day and the Hudson River froze over solidly enough for people to walk across to Hoboken.[

    A severe cold spell you may not know about happened in Feb 1855. Caswell's weather diary from Providence RI states that on 6th and 7th, mins were -14F and -15F with max barely above zero. Then on 8th-9th 12.5" of snow fell at his location (within walking distance of Brown University where he was a professor). At that same time, Toronto had lows of -25F (on 5th and 6th) and daytime highs below zero (-6F on 6th). Caswell's diary runs from late 1831 to early 1860 with very few interruptions. The winter weather from 1854 to 1857 was exceptionally cold and snowy, an even colder version of 2013-16 for snowstorms of note. 

    I don't know of any other N American data from 1855, sure there would be some though. Feb 1855 was also very cold in Britain, their third coldest February of 367 years of record (mean -1.7 C) ... only 1895 and 1947 were colder. The coldest part of the month in Britain happened mid-month to 20th.  

    1857 was-50 in NH

    Well hopefully we can get something this week. Because as far as I’m concerned, if we miss everything since the storm before MLK and go into the warmup with nothing, that’s a fail to the much talked about favorable pattern. Myself included in that.

    Bring on spring I am ready. But if wishes were dishes..

    Here's the answer I got from AI when I plug in the  -1.9F others reported:

    "Boston's January 2026 weather was 1.9°F below normal, with a monthly mean temperature of 29.4°F compared to the typical average of 29.9°F. The coldest temperatures occurred mid-to-late January, with lows dropping to -13°F on January 26 and -18°F on January 21. Despite the cold, snowfall was moderate, with 10 snowy days recorded, and total precipitation at 1.76 inches, which is 52% of the normal January rainfall. The month began with milder conditions, peaking at 53°F on January 15, but rapidly cooled as the month progressed."

    They show a mean of 29.4F and an average of 29.9F, a difference of -0.5, hardly -1.9.  And Boston certainly didn't get to -13F and -18F during the month.

    If this is how AI is going to work, I'll never use it again.

    I was referring to your suburbs remark

    Agree Steve.  Looking pretty decent going forward…we’ll have quite a few chances this second half.  Not every one will hit. Or will be good for everybody, but we’ll have opportunities. All you can ask for.  No complaints here so far.  

    Neighbors kids made good out of the driveway piles.
