Yeah, fake or not, the temps still go in the books. Rad spots have it baked into climo. Those windy airmasses feel worse but dont produce decent lows in places like CON. The snowpack, while thin, also makes a big difference radiating.
My guess is models are a little warm across the rad areas that just got fresh snow, but itll depend on how much it can calm off. Neither night looks real windy, but Wednesday has the best shot.
6-8" ice on some ponds here and open water next to it yesterday. Skimmed over and snow on top now. Not a good recipe for those who don't know the areas that just froze over.
Most of the high res seem to be upticking a bit at 12z. Not sure well see the hrrr slam band offshore, but it's possible I guess. Could suprise someone between Kittery and Cape Ann
Upslope areas the only ones cashing in this week. Pittsburg looks like 12-18"+ pack, atleast First CT lake northward, based on the obs Ive seen. Several more inches on the the way too.
Definitely won't see thay combo again. Temps were overshadowed by the snow. It was as consistently cold as it gets. Set monthly and maybe a couple all time monthly records?
NNE had plenty of -30s, but for SNE no cold shot was all that extradinary, just consistent way BN cold for weeks.
