That was pretty epic...the 1917 late Dec cold shot was actually more impressive IMHO...at least down this way.

Dec 28-30, 1933 at the old Boston City WSO site...

 

12/28 01Z ...10/-3 ... W 22mph

 

12/28 13Z ... 10/-2 ... SW 12mph

12/29 01Z ... 20/4 ... W 22mph

 

12/29 13Z ... -15/-35 ... NW 25mph

12/30 01Z ... -10/-20 ... NW 21mph

 

12/30 13Z ... -10/-27 ... NW 7mph

It looks like a worse version fo the 1980 Xmas cold outbreak...cheap midnight high on the 29th to prevent BOS from having its only below 0F high on record.

It is sort of statistically weird to have the 2 coldest temps ever in 1 winter but 2 months apart.

 

Also odd that the two greatest Dec cold waves bottomed out on the 30th.

It was surprising that BOS got a bit milder on 12/30/1917 than NYC's max of 2. The 1917-18 cold wave lasted a week, and is easily NYC's coldest 7-day period.  Also, Farmington COOP's coldest daily mean was 12/30/17, with -11/-36/-23.5, which was -41 compared to their (then) averages.

Was looking at more hourlies across New England for Feb 1943...

 

On 2/15 ACK had an afternoon high (hourly ob) of 2F off of a min of -5F. Their 5Z temp the night before was 13F so that afternoon temp gets forgotten.

 

Other afternoon highs that day and then the coldest temp during that outbreak...

 

CAR -16F / -32F

HUL -15F / -26F

PQI -15F / -31F

BTV -13F / -26F

CON -10F / -37F

BGR -10F / -27F

CEF -7F / -18F

MHT -5F / -27F

BDL -5F / -18F

PWM -4F / -39F

BED -4F / -22F

HFD -4F / -24F

TAN -1F / -8F

GON 1F / -8F

ACK 2F / -5F
