Pretty impressive. We would have went below with it timed better and a snowpack

If another news station reports that NYC broke their all time lowest temperature ever, I'm going to lose it.

Are they really saying that?

[Weathergun]

I was distraught at it too. NBC 4:

 

"#BREAKING: Temperatures in Central Park just tied the city's all-time low of 6 degrees http://4.nbcny.com/dUB9InZ"

Palm to face.

[JSantanaNYC]

0 degrees here. I don't want to go to work

[Allsnow]

It's pretty dam cold. The wind is making it horrible. Have not felt this in a while

[Kaner587]

We have already locked up a -20 departure for the day

Only needs to drop 20 more degrees ............

[Rjay]

If only we had a nice fresh snow pack and the cold was timed a few hours earlier we could have seen some crazy numbers. ...oh well. Work time

[SnoSki14]

We have already locked up a -20 departure for the day

 

We're going to need those departures as they will start going down in flames in a few days. In fact wouldn't it be something if January has another positive departure like December despite the near or record breaking cold thus far. 

 

It's certainly possible, by the weekend 50s look more likely with lows probably in the 40s giving us 15+ departures for a few days perhaps. 

[MJO812]

Thank god I'm not patrolling outside. I was supposed to but now I have orientation.

[JSantanaNYC]

-1F... feeling like -22F ... damn

[MJO812]

John, they are also talking about that on the radio. I thought NYC experienced temps near 0 in 2004

We definitely have a 3-4 day period of at least +10 bit after that departures look more moderate in the 3-7 range as we head back towards normal and then below again by day 8-10

[Allsnow]

What was the rec low for NYC today

[Kaner587]

6 in 1896

[MJO812]

Down to 2

[bluewave]

Down to 4 at Central Park making it the coldest temperature since 2004.
