First Below Zero Day In NYC Since 1994

Here is December 25 1980, I can't imagine there was much snow pack to the north or in the area that early on in the season. Notice how the winds were basically WNW all night, 850s looked like they briefly got to -30C. If LGA and NYC did it that night I can't see why they won't do it Sunday.

Interesting that the coldest temps occurred at 9 and 10 am and also never got back above 5

I remember breaking a record low on around the 20th last year.

Good memory, Though the nws site has not updated it

New Yorkers awakened to the coldest day of the year as the mercury dipped down to just 2 degrees in Central Park — shattering the 65-year-old record low for this date of 7 degrees, which was set back in 1950.

GFS stays at 3. Insisting we don't hit 0.

I think those numbers are semi skewed towards climo so it's not likely that it will show anything near or below 0 til inside 36 hours. 3 is impressive though at this range. I think the days we reached 2, 3 and 4 in recent years the guidance was spitting out 6s 7s and 8s at this range

Looks like lowest thicknesses get to 491 and  850s  to - 29 at KNYC . ( Looks slightly colder than last year ) 

Automated number has 3 at the park .

 

I am going to root for 0 so we put another stamp on this anomalous year .
