CapturedNature Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I only have 30 years of records but this is shaping up to be my coldest month overall, not to mention February. That includes some impressive months like January 1994 and December 1989. My low of -17° the other day is latest I've had such a reading and when you consider that every other record of -15° or lower has been in January, except for one in 1987 but that was almost a week earlier. Needless to say, I think this month has been a standout month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 You know the thing where I think you're saying everywhere has had the best winter ever, and you think I'm saying everywhere has had the worst winter ever. That thing. I never said any such thing. But I will challenge anyone to put cold and snow combination together to show a worse month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I never said any such thing. But I will challenge anyone to put cold and snow combination together to show a worse month You're so easy to rile up. I ran CON as well. Forecast puts them at 11.8 degrees for February, narrowly edging out 1934 (12.0) as the coldest February on record, but falls well short of the coldest month ever in sixth place behind 1977 (10.6), 1982, 1976, 1970, and 1994. Also just edges out December 1989 (11.9) for that 6th place month all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Pretty pissed the Davis reached 33.0 yesterday up at the cabin. It was the only day in February, and will likely be the only day in February the temperature was above freezing. Had I left taken lessons from the Rev where to place the sensor for minimum temp readings I wouldn't be whining. No doubt it stayed below freezing in the shade.

OceanStWx Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 amazing when combined with snow totals, most epic cold is pretty dry I will say in the last couple of years I've seen more snow with temps hovering around 0 than I ever thought possible. Our second largest storm at the office (9.1") came with temps of -4 or so at the beginning of this month. I think it was colder in the event at the beginning of January last year, but we thought that would be a once in a great while kind of storm. Oops.

That will be it too, the only positive departure day of the month at all GYX climate sites. +1 too (torched to +3 at CON) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those 10 coldest months listed above for Farmington, 6 were AN for snow and the average for all 10 is 119% of avg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariof Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 +1 departure for BOS yesterday. And 15 full days below freezing which ended Saturday. Record (since '36) was 16. 34 days below 40 and counting; record is 38, should have no issue hitting that. Beating Feb '34 probably out, but no other month has ever been below 20; this month certainly will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not sure how far back records go at GFL, but -6F in 2011 seems weak. I'm guessing they have a short record period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those sites listed go back to the 1800s. Dulles only goes back to 1962 which explains why they shattered their record too. The DCA and BWI records are from 1873.

CoastalWx Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Jan 2004 still has the cold appeal to me. The days of single digit highs and 40mph winds can't be topped. I know this month was overall cold and not to downplay it, but man those days in January 04 were out of control. Some of it is just the sun this time of year. Apparent feel of 15f feels better than the same temp over a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 BDL up to 16.0, but they should still be able to pull off the coldest month on record. It appears that it will be a narrow margin. They need to average at or below 21 degrees today and tomorrow. After going 36/4 and 24/14 the last two days, the mean has been creeping up. A good radiational cooling night tonight should seal the deal, even if they don't fall below 14 by midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Joe Furey @StormFurey 41m 41 minutes ago Preliminary Nos.: COLDEST month on record. With two (2) days left, confidence is growing it will become official! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Man, if BDL ASOS wasn't running clearly warm by a degree or two, the record would have been obliterated. They are still very likely to break it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I assume there will be some cities that experience the coldest and snowiest month on record simultaneously? That's quite amazing considering climo, February typically is not the coldest month, and it's the shortest <--- not as significant, but 3 less days doesn't help. This has been an epic period we have been experiencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
