-1.0F here, I made it!

 

And -4F at SMQ, wow.

Congrats...my temp actually went up since the winds went calm. I thought they would plummet. So disappointing. Looks like I have to wait for next winter to experience a sub-zero temp, if it can happen next winter.

Wow @ that. They are about as near the coast as I am but I am 15 degrees warmer than them right now. Being in the UHI royally sucks. It's so disgusting and unnatural.

Two thermometers showing -17F here at 1550' in the Poconos. We radiate better than expectations in this sheltered valley.

I feel your pain. I actually went up to 11. Me missing these sub-zero temps make me want to move out of the city even more.

If ISP can make 0 it looks like its their first time reaching 0 since 1988

I am absolutely baffled as to why they think this with the way our temps have been so far:

That -13F near the PA/NJ border validates my number nicely. Dropping fast with incredibly stars out.

Wow @ that. They are about as near the coast as I am but I am 15 degrees warmer than them right now. Being in the UHI royally sucks. It's so disgusting and unnatural.

On a night like tonight with calm winds and deep snowcover, if the vast majority of us can't reach zero it will be hard to imagine a regime under which we can do so again unless the PV dives into New England or something.

 

I'm at 7 degrees right now.
