HoarfrostHubb Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I am going to chase a little of the cold tonight to beat my personal record of -15F My personal coldest was Jan 2004 (I forget which date) of -18.9FWe hit -14.4 two years ago We hit -7F earlier this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Jan 24, 2013: high of 9, low of -5. The last sub-zero high: Jan 22, 2005, high of -1, low of -14.Right. So this was a once in 9-10 year shot. A high of 2 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas 1980 was numbing cold, below zero Yeah, that is the coldest day I remember. It's too bad that the high was at at midnight which makes it look warmer in the weather record.

ORH_wxman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Right. So this was a once in 9-10 year shot. A high of 2 today Norfolk has some quirky lookign data recently, I don't entirely trust it the past few years. I would think a couple cold shots recently could have been similar but they don't show up in the records as cold. ORH had a high of 9F today...they had a high of 8F on both 1/24/11 and 1/26/07 recently...and a bunch of them like that between 2000-2005 when we had more 'bouts of -EPO. I don't personally view today's highs as all that rare. I view yesterday's temperatures during a coastal snowstorm as much much rarer...once every 4-6 decades or something. That's the part of this cold outbreak that should be pimped for historical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I vaguely remember Christmas Day either 81 ort 82 with highs in the area of -5 in Southern Worc County, that was cold! You might be thinking of 1980. I was in new London then, and I think we even capped out at like 1 or something. I had some cool mornings when I was living in Maine. In Mass, I recall hitting -12 when I was living in Worcester back around 2004 or so. I was hoping to be below zero by nightfall.

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah, that is the coldest day I remember. It's too bad that the high was at at midnight which makes it look warmer in the weather record.At my parents house we had a septic tank with issues around then (pipe had a crack or something). It got clogged Christmas morning and we had to stand outside and use a snake to unclog it. Tank was steamingAhhh the memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's too bad climate changes seemed to be only gauged by cherry blossom blooms in DC. What a cold stretch since 2000 over the Plains and Great Lakes. -PDO FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 With respect to the shot of cold next week on the heels of the low, unless the lakes are too frozen, I would think that would be a heckuva LES event in store. Of course, if they're frozen a nice cool breeze instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfishsnowman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Even the mention of the 1980s makes me want to go find a happy place. Pegged jeans and cold bare ground. Awful. lolol, so true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 BOS hit -7 in January 2004. We had a shot at lower but some high clouds and pixy dust fell with temps below zilch. Temps went minuts by dark so I thought -10 was not only doable but probable and it may have been had it not been for the debris. I was in upstate NY once and the temperature was -33. A true snot freezer. But it was due to extreme radiational cooling since during that same day temps rose over 50 degrees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 12Z MAV/MET are -34/-36 for HIE and -31/-37 for BML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 No, it is very neat Although I did not realize Nashville was that warm of a place -50 departure here would rock This will be an airmass where Atlanta up through DC will be colder than BOS. The trajectory of this airmass is right into the deep south and then southeast. Sometimes the Deep South can get these insane cold airmass plunging south without the mountains modifying it.

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 BOX upped their lows to -9F in the P&C. May have to go lower for TAN. Can they crack -11 or -12F? I say this because I've always noticed the ASOS ends up below NWS guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Right. So this was a once in 9-10 year shot. A high of 2 today Yeah, BTV's been talking about that for a couple days. Their high temp yesterday of -4F was the coldest since January 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Right. So this was a once in 9-10 year shot. A high of 2 today Return periods don't quite work like that. Looking back over the past 30 years and eyeballing it I'd say on average a day with a sub-zero high occurs at least once every 6 years and a high of 5 or less about every 1-2 years. A day with a high of 2 or lower is somewhere in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 BOS hit -7 in January 2004. We had a shot at lower but some high clouds and pixy dust fell with temps below zilch. Temps went minuts by dark so I thought -10 was not only doable but probable and it may have been had it not been for the debris. -10F wasn't happening at BOS. The core of the cold passed through over night and no one went calm. Winds were ripping 30-40mph. We had the below 0F SHSN up here too (at -10F). In fact I think the SHSN helped BOS get that extra 1-2F for -7F. We had the mid-level -30 to -35C core go right over us so we actually started getting WAA before sunrise.
