codfishsnowman Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 that was the heaviest arctic temp snow i have EVER shoveled but high teens and southerly breeze made the chore relatively pleasant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 lol at MSS/Massena, NY going from a low of -19F to a high so far of 28F and still climbing for a couple hours. Wonder if they can pull the rare 50+ diurnal trend. They jumped 16 degrees between 10-11am alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Impressive. Any other dates that happened..can you site? Tyia. I'll try to find out. BTV mentioned something about being in the top ten for duration of below zero streaks, but I'll see if I can find something more clarifying.

Logan11 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It's hard to believe that a record low in ORH in January would be as warm as -3F. Looks like the records around here were ORH hitting -3F last night before midnight (ties the record low of -3F in 1904) and BDL breaking today's record with a low of -9F (old record low -7F in 1981) I thought places like ORE and AFN could get to -20F but they didn't...1/24/11 was more impressive in those areas.

Logan11 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Nice spot and right along the St. Lawrence.... I did some kayaking along the river there in August. One little anomalous part of an island in Robert Moses State Park goes above the 45th parallel and there is a sign denoting it. They didn't even get close to torching there in that grinch thaw period. lol at MSS/Massena, NY going from a low of -19F to a high so far of 28F and still climbing for a couple hours.

Logan11 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Jan/Feb 1994 was my ultimate for sub zero mornings where I lived in Saugerties, NY then. We had 19 low temps below zero. This would have a long way to go to approach that winter. I'll try to find out. BTV mentioned something about being in the top ten for duration of below zero streaks, but I'll see if I can find something more clarifying.

free_man Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Much like ORH, didn't really bottom out here. -6F was the lowest. Bottom of the hill in the river valley was probably at least -10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma blizzard Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Low of -6 here. Cold but meh compared to mostwow you must not radiate well, kinda surprising bc you are in a relatively low spot .. my wx station is having connectivity issues so I wasn't able to get any data last night .. although when I got home at midnight the car thermo had -9 in the driveway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma blizzard Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It's hard to believe that a record low in ORH in January would be as warm as -3F.tougher to get 'colder' temps on top of the hill there .. usually need strong caa along with optimal wind dirrection (IIRC recently a change in location of the temp sensor causes it to run slightly warmer, especially in certain wind directions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Impressive. Any other dates that happened..can you site? Tyia. This was what BTV had to say... again just for reference, Burlington had 58 straight hours below zero in this one. "While this was quite notable, it wasn't record-breaking. At least in Burlington, the top was 114 hours stretching from Jan 7-12 1968, and the next-highest was 72 hours from Jan 14-17 1965. The Feb 1979 cold snap is the "benchmark": 139 hours between Feb 12-18 1979, with only a couple hours where the temperature barely broke 0 in that period."

This would have a long way to go to approach that winter. Its funny because I used to have the Albany mentality from growing up that anything below zero was really note-worthy...and now up here, I don't really pay attention until we get into the -20F to -30F range, lol. Funny how your personal goal-posts can move over time depending on residential location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I know KTAN can be a warm spot...but they seem to run a bit warm. Time and time again they are warmer than anyone to the north, west, south, east..you name it. I've been following it and it certainly stands out on sunny days. Something seems a bit fishy there.

nzucker Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 -16 here. I thought we were gonna break -20 for the first time in several years, but some pesky clouds came in after midnight and ruined it. -18 in December so this wasn't the coldest night. I got to -20 in the Poconos at 1550' elevation...crazy cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Look at LEX and CVG. Those temps are brutal. CVG is basically Cincinnati. Sounds a little more plausible at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 CVG is basically Cincinnati. Sounds a little more plausible at least. That area is still relatively south in terms of latitude, but still from there to BNA to ATL. That is brutal by our standards. I mean near 0F in LEX in the middle of the day?

dendrite Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Look at LEX and CVG. Those temps are brutal.Yeah it's insane. I just hate the lame midnight highs. Near 20F at 6Z with a below 0F afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 ORD with 6+ and low teens tomorrow and then MEX has them -13/-20 for hgh/low Monday. This used to happen but has been absent largely the past 15 years so it's nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I just remember frequently in the late 50s and early 60s with Louisville and Cincinnati bitter cold and snowy. I remember watching a bengals playoff game on tv from Los Angeles about 30 years ago with temps in the low single numbers.day game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 ORD with 6+ and low teens tomorrow and then MEX has them -13/-20 for hgh/low Monday. This used to happen but has been absent largely the past 15 years so it's nice to see. -13º would break the all time low max record for Chicago. -11º is it right now, set back on Dec 24, 1983 and Jan 18, 1994. But ORD will get midnight-high'ed most likely. LOT has -4º for them at midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
