Fantom X Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Why the heck is it 48 when the forecasted high was 37?? (Rhetorical question) And somehow we're supposed to drop back into the teens. EDIT: It has to be a mistake. There's a station a half a mile away reporting 42 degrees. Bad siting; says high was 53. obviously no shielding or fan aspiration going on in their weather station to bring to ambient temp. for the temp tonight, arctic front incoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took down my PWS to replace the anemometer and upgrade the hardware so I have to rely on "other" sources. And made sure I salted everything down for the flash-freeze tonight.

NEXtreme Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 You were spot on with yesterdays post, there is no way it would stay in the 30's with near 0 C temps at 850mb with a blazing late Feb sunshine and westerly winds, I knew NWS would bust Accuweather and TWC had temps in 46-48 range today...NWS had me at 38, I'm at 40. Most of the region is in the low 40's at best not the mid to upper 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncat Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 if February ends up averaging 23.7 the combined January February average would be 26.9...ninth coldest on record...1978 was 27.6... The coldest since 1869... 1875...24.5 1904...25.3 1920...25.9 1918...26.0 1912...26.1 1885...26.1 1893...26.5 1881...26.7 2015...26.9 1895...27.0 1905...27.1 Coldest since 1920...Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NycStormChaser Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Watch out for those PWS's....quite a few inaccurate ones out there. Yeah, that happens in NYC alot. There should be more official reporting stations. I think it is only JFK, LGA and central park. The rest, while mostly accurate, are all PWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest, while mostly accurate, are all PWS You can usually pick out the bad ones...they heat up way to much when the sun hits them, also the rooftop stations will read too high at night with clear skies and light winds...You can use mine...its accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Park hit 43. Starting to think that pleasant weather might be better than breaking cold records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowshack Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Only reached 36F here, but pretty good meltdown in the sun nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 I think AW will end up being right; we'll hit 43. That would only be a degree above the February 1934 monthly high of 42. http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/orders/IPS/IPS-9348D439-6FF6-4A62-9DD2-EF0601822E02.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mophstymeo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Temp is dropping quickly. Ran out to the supermarket around 4 and probably didn't need a jacket. Got home around 5 and definitely did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB GFI Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This is not your average COLD outbreak . Fri @ KNYC - 20 , We should beat that today ( will call it - 20 ) that`s 8 DAYS OF CLOSE TO 18 BELOW . When you include the following 6 days . MT HOLLY TEMPERATURES: COLDEST TEMPERATURES IN THE URBAN CENTERS SINCE PROBABLY JANUARY 1994 ARE EXPECTED MONDAY MORNING AND WIDESPREAD NEAR RECORDS EXPECTED IN OUR FORECAST AREA. CALENDAR DAY AVERAGE TEMPERATURES SUNDAY CLOSE TO 20 BELOW NORMAL, 25 BELOW NORMAL MONDAY 15 BELOW TUESDAY AND MAYBE 10 BELOW WEDNESDAY BEFORE FALLING OFF AGAIN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY TO BETWEEN 15 AND 20 BELOW NORMAL . When was the last time we were 20 below N in any Feb for 10 straight days ? For the record what a spot on call by MT HOLLY this was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end is near though regarding the frigid temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Park temperature stubborn. Still at 39. The surface must be a lot colder because my boots feel icing on sidewalks where the water layer is thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 And another hour at 39. There will be another daily high above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwcMan Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Temp doesn't want to fall here. It's been stuck at 36F for the past few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Temp doesn't want to fall here. It's been stuck at 36F for the past few hours Arctic high is still very far west and there's still a SW component to the winds. Temperatures aren't really going to drop much until near daybreak and then throughout the day tomorrow. The highs will be early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveWinter Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Will only result in a higher cliff to fall off from today. Going to be one of those mornings where the earlier you head to work, the warmer it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikehobbyst Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Do any of u see any end in sight of this frigid weather. Models are not hopeful yet to me. I am hoping it ends soon. I'll take upper 20's to low 30 type days at this point, as opposed to the upper teens to low 20's. What do you see ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
