DavisStraight Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 My high was 9, already heading down, should be a below zero night. My dog wasn't crazy about our walk last night, don't think she'll even want to go out tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Looks like the high at ORH was 6F...maybe 7F if it got there in between obs. Either way, this would be the coldest December high temperature at ORH since Christmas Day 1983 when the high only reached 4F. Only 6 other times has a December high temp been colder than 6F at ORH...1917 (-1F), 1933 (5F), 1962 (1F), 1968 (2F), 1983 (4F), and 1955 (5F) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude you bring good JUJU, usually the peeps who move up here and join our sub forum move in a 11/12 winter. Happy you are getting why our winter lover posters get excited when things go right.

wxeyeNH Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Darn. I really wanted a below zero day but briefly warmed up to 1.1F. Low last night was -8F well off my all-time low of -17F. About that haze. I noticed it too. I made a time lapse of it. Seemed to be under the layer of scattered Cu and maybe it was just fine virga with small flakes with such little water content being broken up by the wind into diamond dust? When I looked towards the sun and shielded my eyes it looked like fine snow crystals or diamond dust was in the air. It wasn't blowing snow either. In arctic regions, I have noted in videos that phenomena too. It's gone now.. https://video.nest.com/clip/dad6a946c4564d33988a4b3d782bb880.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredible how good this winter has been after many years of chasing the cold to even get a chance of something in the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Well the evening balloon shift called in sick. Now I'm stuck doing a double. Oh, and GYX just slipped back below 0 (from a "high" of 1.7). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 We get 120 days from our last launch before our balloon launch certificate expires. I usually try and catch a warmer late November or early December day so I can make it through winter without a really cold launch. This is not how I prefer to extend my certification. There is a weak heater up the hill at GYX, but at DVN we used hydrogen and it was completely unheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 That wind is ripping right now. All of the glaze is finally breaking off of the trees and it sounds like broken glass falling to the ground and blowing around across the snow. 0.4F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was ripping here for much of the day even with my NW tree protection. High was 1.1F. Now down to -2F. 20F is going to feel quite comfortable whenever we might see it next...

powderfreak Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Never got to zero. My car said -3F at 2:30pm when I pulled in the driveway. MVL looks like -2F for a couple hourly reports this afternoon, guess it could've hit 0F between hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WthrJunkyME Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I’m relieved we haven’t had any wind to speak of up here (yet). I don’t think it got above 0F today. But with no wind, I decided to clear some pathways around our place. I love the cold without wind. Brutal, instant snot-freezing, man type cold. I love standing on my deck when it’s quiet at night, listening to nearby homes doing their frost quake sounds, ice covered branches breaking way out in the woods. Haven’t had it like this in a while, just love it. I admit that I’ll have a different take on it if it lasts for weeks on end though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only got up to -4 that Dec 30 in '17 at our house in NNJ, which would be built 33 years later. Windy too, or why NYC topped out at 2°, their coldest max on record. Good chance today was my 1st sub-zero max in Dec. Last Dec 16 max of +1 holds the record going into today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
