people wearing shorts when it's 20's is like people wearing jeans on a 90 a degree day to the park

 

Or to the beach.  It's one thing without wind but with wind and blowing snow, it's a different story.  I did my fair share of walking outside today and exposed skin definitely started to feel cold after a few minutes.  

 

Down to -5 here.  I don't think I'm going to challenge any of my extreme record lows but I might set a daily record tomorrow morning and a record low max tomorrow since 1985.

Wow, and Lava Rock thought he had it bad ...

 

 

You guys are right on it.  Posted it,  reread it, fixed it within a minute or two and already everyone saw it.  Anyhow that was 10 or 15 minutes ago, now down to -127,  I mean  -12.7F    Actually very impressive considering it's 8:25pm.   All time house record is -18F and I've owned this house for 27 years.  Coles Pond Vermont at 2300 feet is -23F

-20 on 1/15/1988.

 

What a brutal day that was.  At 6 AM on the shore of Portage Lake in N.Maine, the thermometer on the Forest Service building read -32 and the wind gauge was gusting past 30.  WCI (old scale) at CAR was -85, probably about -55 on the current scale.  Since we'd driven 250 miles to look at some forest lands, it was into the woods.  Got frostbite on my face riding 2nd up on a sled driven by someone about 10" shorter than me, as we boogied back to the pickups ASAP about 4 PM.  CAR topped out at -9 and the wind never quit; 30 miles west at 1500 feet I doubt it got past -15.

 

Front came thru here around noon but the real CAA began an hour or two later.  Between 3-8 PM the temp dropped from 13 to -7, and it's been a fairly steady 4° per hour.

Coldest ambient temps i have been in is -38°F in CAR

 

Their lowest ever at the hilltop AP was only 3F below that, in 1955.  Coldest for me is -42 on two occasions - I missed the -47 at the house on the Ft. Kent flats, as I was at our camp on the American side of the frontier across from St.-Pamphile, and it was only -40 there.

 

I'm confident the temp nosedive will slow in a few more hours, obviously as 4F/hr through 7 AM would be -51.  :lmao:   I think -20 will be closer, and I might drop a bit further than that tomorrow night due to better decoupling even though the midlevels will then be considerably less cold than at present.

We were snowmobiling that weekend, Only 2 sleds out of 5 started that morning (mine was one of them), Once we got going, We had stopped at a store between Van Buren and Fort Kent, And the owner told us he had -43°F earlier that morning
