ORH_wxman Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Did Boston break any cold records last year? Nope, neither did ORH (well except coldest month on record...but no daily records) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walthsnow Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 BOS -4F at midnight...should be a new record low for both dates! That is awesome!! The cold tonight is intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 BOS -4F at midnight...should be a new record low for both dates! This is the coldest reading in Boston since 1/16/2004 when the temperature fell to -7°. It is also the coldest February temperature in Boston since 2/2/1961 when the temperature also reached -4°. The last colder February temperature was -9° on 2/16/1943. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 thanks yea just saw that, BOS could blow tomorrow's low max away, hope they break it tonight, -4 in 34 right? BOS broke both 2/13 and 2/14 lows...2/13 was -3 in 1967 (one of the few that happened at the airport site) and 2/14 is -3 in 1934. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Nope, neither did ORH (well except coldest month on record...but no daily records) Which is pretty amazing considering I had at least 15 nights below zero last winter. Timing of cold shots more than anything I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also the coldest February temperature in Boston since 2/2/1961 when the temperature also reached -4°. The last colder February temperature was -9° on 2/16/1943. Definitely a more impressive shot than I thought...I underestimated it a bit and so did MOS for sure. Even the more aggressive MET guidance had -2F fr BOS at 1am (06z), so it's behind. The MAV guidance has been atrociously too warm...just a couple runs ago, it had 2F for the low. Even tonight's run never got BOS below 0F. Though at the last second, the core of the cold seemed to tick east again on the models which is probably helping us overperform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 This reminds me that I had a discussion on here about 3 years ago with OceanStwx (Chris) on the lack of a big signature arctic outbreak in February recently....we obviously got the obscene monthly cold last year, but now this satisfies the criteria of just raw peak cold...even if the shot is fairly quick. The intensity of this is extremely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm watching the Stratton site at 3100 feet to see when things may be peaking. It is still falling right now...down to -33F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Boston can drop a few more degrees. A -5° reading would be the coldest February temperature since 2/16/1943 (-9°). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 is it really sick that we are actually enjoying this?

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 For sure...that last little tick back east was really the difference -8.0/-21 I think my coldest last season was -7, if I recall correctly...
