Met1985 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 We ended up bottoming out at -12F this morning. Just wow at how cold it got. One of my thermometers outside was reading -15 but I think it is off a bit. At any rate congrats to everyone on this impressive true arctic outbreak.

calculus1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 My temp IMBY bottomed out at 2.2 F. That is officially the coldest temperature that I've recorded since I began taking records in 2006. I was around for the 1985 cold outbreak here in western NC, but I wasn't in to keeping records at that date. Incredible cold out there!! Amazing.

Solak Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Now that the sun is up, I'm guessing we'll get some mixing going on, and the wind chills will be dropping lower for a while until the temps slowly rebound a few degrees today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It does feel amazing outside - just cannot stay out very long... I decided to be a little foolish and go out to check on the dogs (one was sniffing around where we have a rabbit hole) without a jacket on - it was "refreshing" for the first 15 to 20 feet - after that, I was thinking "you are an idiot"...

KChuck Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Currently 5.5/-1.6 Low was -2.6 at 7:37. Wind was pretty much negligible, never getting above 8 mph and calm after 4am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 5.8 this morning.I know it's not a shock a pond froze over but given how windy it was and choppy the water was it's pretty cool it got cold enough to freeze over. Also, there are shards of ice coming out of the ground. All that wet weather left a lot of moisture in the ground and it all froze. Pretty cool to walk on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I got the bubbles but as soon as i made them they blew away lol. Still too windy right now. maybe it can get it to work tonight if it gets cold enough.

Mooner Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Woke up to 7° in Athens, but it rapidly climbed one whole degree in the past two hours to 8°. DP at -3, but winds are much lighter than expected - which is just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 1.9 this morning Damn! I thought for sure you would hit 0 based on 950mb temps and how much colder you were than me yesterday evening. I mean you was a good 10 degrees colder at one point and maybe more at other times. At 2:30 am last night when i went to bed, there were temps between -3 and 3 all over the place over the mountains and foothills so I was thinking "yep he's gotten to or will get to 0". So it's a bit surprising that with a convective/windy/non radiational cooling regime you only was 4 degrees colder this morning. I know it's only 2 degrees but I hate getting it wrong.

CherokeeGA Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 My back yard hit 0 here in the NE Cherokee sticks. It's up to 3 degrees now that the sun has been up for an hour. The closest official NWS station at the county airport southwest of here hit 5 in the wee hours, but we consistently run a few degrees below that station year round so no big surprise there. Delighted to say all the plumbing survived intact. This was fun. Can we have some snow next though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted to say all the plumbing survived intact. This was fun. Can we have some snow next though? This has been fun and different. And Unlike with snow, if you bust you can't see the difference so much either LOL..or hear it from friends and family If it is 6 instead of 2, no one will care..it's still cold as hell. But if you call for freezing rain and it's a half a degree too warm, the end result makes it look like you were off by 20 degrees. Or if you say there will be a half inch of snow and you only get flurries, even though in reality you are only talking a difference of hundredths of an inch, it appears like you were off by a mile. God forbid if the NWS calls for 2 to 4 inches of snow and you only get an inch. Even though they would only be off by a tenth of an inch liquid (or far less if the ratios are high) from the low end of their range, people will give them hell. This type of stuff has always bugged me because if you are only off a half a degree or 1 to 3 tenths of an inch liquid at any other time, people will think you did a great job. I mean if you call for 2.2 inches of rain and it rains 2 inches even people will say you nailed it. But be off that much involving snow and ice and you will look like a moron in the non weather educated people. CAE recorded 13 for the low and mby said 10 Sooo close to the single digits Now I'm headed outside to blow some bubbles ironically they just showed the bubble thing on one of the local news channels...that was cool! I really have to try it when the wind is down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
