Mallow Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Really didn't feel that bad this morning. Once you get used to the cold it's kinda meh. Ya, I'm actually surprised. It's cold for sure, but I thought it would feel worse. Like painful cold. Maybe that's reserved for like -30° and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's reserved for like -30° and below. I dunno, I caught a nice gust this morning and it was about as nasty as I've ever felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's reserved for like -30° and below. I was once in cold that was down to about -12 in State College (January 2009) and it actually didn't feel terrible because it was a calm, windless night. The 4F we had here in NYC this morning with a lot of wind may have felt worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yep, the more airflow, the faster the heat transfers from the skin and the colder you feel. That minus 22F I felt in Pittsburgh in 1994 did not feel as bad because of the lack of wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I dunno, I caught a nice gust this morning and it was about as nasty as I've ever felt. On my stroll, I did encounter a couple gusts, but nothing major. Maybe 10mph or so. They were cold, but I wouldn't quite describe them as "biting", and certainly not painful. I guess I'm just saying I can imagine much colder... Which I suppose is a good thing, since some places regularly see much colder and I don't know how that would work if -8°F felt like death.

paxpatriot Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Lowest I saw on my gauge overnight was -3.6. It has since warmed to a balmy -0.3, so we should be above zero soon. I will echo the thoughts previous--the cold doesn't feel too bad once you are in it, but couple that with a 25mph gust, and it stings a bit, lol.

I walked to my apartment from downtown last night at around 9:30 -- the temperature was around zero at that time -- and it felt worse then than it did this morning when walking to Walker. Of course, it was a good deal gustier last night; I figure there were several gusts to 35 or 40 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Not sure of year i'll have to check, but it was in single digits, not sure of wind chill but it was negative we had a bad fire in town here, our breathing apparatus was freezing, water spray freezing almost imediate etc. anyhow not ling after being there i got soaked, but i was inside working, once i came out, i froze solid and couldn't stop shaking. I was definitly hypothermic. It was the one and only time i was chilled to the bone. I couldn't even take my gear off it was frozen. Hope it never happens again!

Probably due to being more open. The concept of the wind chill was pretty damn clear when I was walking our dogs, thinking it's fine, then I got hit by a good gust.

Itstrainingtime Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Now above zero at 1.9. It felt MUCH colder at 5:30 this morning when I left for work in the dark. I think it was windier then, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I don't know why, but I was thinking that was December 25, 1983 instead. My memory is probably failing like the rest of me. Uh oh. Maybe my memory is beginning to fade also? lol. Maybe djr5001 could go back and check both 12/25/80 and 12/25/83 and tell us which date it was?? The reason I think it was 1980 is because I was not yet in Optometry school, which began Aug 1982. We'll have to see. As for here this morning, I dropped to -2.4 degrees on one of my digital (lab grade) thermometers and to -2.7 on another one, and to -2.3 on yet a third one. LOL I've got more thermometers than just those 3. I'm a bit of a thermometer fanatic actually. I will go with my -2.4F as my official low. Also, my dew point did drop to -15.8 degrees overnight so that broke my all-time lowest observed dew point by one degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny...I was thinking '83 because I graduated that spring and remember driving home from work on Christmas eve and it was already in the single digits. My dad advised me to stay home that night instead of going to a party because of the extreme cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 First PDS I've seen for the blizzard here. Did Eastern make it to the Tug? Haven't seen any posts from him. ..BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR PORTIONS OF NIAGARA FRONTIER ...ZERO VISIBILITY WITH WIND GUSTS TO 47 MPH WERE REPORTED AT THEAIRPORT JUST AFTER 12 PM THIS AFTERNOON....THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION...BLINDING SNOW...WHITE OUT CONDITIONS...AND DANGEROUSLY COLD WINDCHILLS TO 20 BELOW SHOULD BE EXPECTED IN THE BAND THROUGH THEAFTERNOON. A CASUAL DRIVE OR TRIP OUTSIDE CAN QUICKLY LEAD TO ALIFE THREATENING SITUATION WITHOUT PROPER WINTER GEAR.THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW HAS LIKELY REACHED ITS FURTHEST NORTHERNEXTENT...AND SHOULD START TO DRIFT A LITTLE TO THE SOUTH THISAFTERNOON. EXPECT A CONTINUATION OF BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN ANDAROUND THE BAND FROM THE NORTHTOWNS TO THE SOUTHTOWNS AS WELL ASTHROUGHOUT MUCH OF GENESEE COUNTY. CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTHERNWYOMING COUNTY WILL WORSEN AGAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS THE BANDBEGINS TO HEAD SOUTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Ya, when I went out last night with the wind, it did feel colder. I walked from Rider to Rec Hall for the gym at 11:45 and it was windier, so it actually felt colder. On the way back, not as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
