yotaman Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 10 hours ago, shaggy said: PGV did the same thing. We crashed to 10 degrees earlier and 20 minutes later we were up to 18. It hung out around there for an hour or so and has now crashed back down to 10. It did this last night as well until about 2 or 3 in the morning then it went down to low signle digits and floated between 0-5 degrres the rest of the night. Suspect the same will happen tonight. My house that registered -4 this morning was showing 5 degrees according to the wife. I'm stuck at work in a warehouse with no heat so its been a brutal week for me. I wonder what caused that?

We fluctuated a lot until 11pm then we went single digits and settled down and had much smaller changes. It was face stinging cold leaving work.

drfranklin Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 13 for a low this AM - now it's nearing noon and it's only 23.5 - I am done with this cold air mass - I feel like I live in Boone (don't know how those can live there in winter) - I don't ever recall a longer duration of cold (with the exception of Jan 1985 in Memphis, TN - I was out of middle school for more than 3 weeks due to persistent cold and snow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATreglown Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 This is from NWS out of Wakefield, Va .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Quite a record breaking morning thanks to the arctic high centered over the NC coastal plain. Records not only fell but were smashed at RIC/ECG and SBY. Although not official, the temp at NWS AKQ dropped to a bone chilling -14 degrees just after sunrise. This also smashes the record for AKQ which was -8 set on 1/21/1985. It will go down as one of the coldest mornings in several decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapelhill Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 With this cold spell I have seen a few people walking out onto ice covered ponds. Rule of thumb is to always break the ice near any flow area and measure. If it is not thicker than 4" there, don't even think about it. https://www.wikihow.com/Know-When-Ice-is-Safe - Ice covered ponds are very dangerous and folks need to be reminded.

That’s some wicked cold.... It's a laCrosse weather station. It has a WiFi connection, but I'm not sure of the source of the forecast. I was skeptical of the temp being so low, but I've been cross checking it with a mercury thermometer and it seems to be accurate. I got the station for Christmas, so I don't know where it was purchased from. Edit: the manual says it pulls the forcast from NWS and it matches the grid forcast for my area.

CummingGaSnow Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Only hit 34.4 today. Forecast was for about 38. 33.7/10 now. Stiff "wedgy" NE wind currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 32 here, says I hit 33 earlier for a high. Sun will be behind the hill by 5 and I'll quickly fall back into the 20s. Definitely colder than forecast today. Such a shame precipitation not coming in 12 hours earlier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYweatherguy Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Down to 29.5 here in Buford, Georgia and it's falling fast now that the sun is down. Hoping to get down to 27 before the precip starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Had some high clouds come in at sunset and temp plateaued at 27. Now pretty clear again and temp has fallen 3 degrees to 24 in past hour. Something to remember for everyone, temps will rise 99.9% of the time when thick clouds come in, so you need some cushion if you hope to remain in the 20s after clouding up.
