Wow Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 A low in the upper teens coming up, which is quite balmy compared to beginning of this month far, incredibly. This has been quite a memorable cold snap, even with the lack of snow here. So far, I am 17.4 degrees below normal with a max high of 33.3 on 1/5. I probably won't seen such of stretch of cold in my lifetime unless an ice age is coming for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Supposed to only drop to 15 tonight but it is already 18. Dew point has been rising lately and is now up to 13. Wonder if we will see a rise in the temp like we did last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Forecast high temp has been falling... I don't think we'll top out of the 30's again. After the crappy winters figured this would be coming back. Welcome to actual Winter folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect radiational conditions, no wind and all stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Personal station hit 6 this morning while pgv hit 9 o one obs but stayed at 10 most of the night. We have only been above freezing for maybe 4 hours on the 3rd before the snow. Not only has it been cold at night but low single digits and we tied our all time record. Just impressive.

Solak Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Made it down to 12 last night. Scrolling through Sunday's data - that was an impressive HP overhead yesterday. KJNX recorded a max of 30.71" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 PGV made it to single digits again with 9 being the low, however after we go above freezing late this morning we should not see another temp below freezing until at least next Sunday so almost a full week above freezing after 8 day below it....

BullCityWx Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 If we just have exactly average temps for the rest of the month, it's still going to go down as one of the top 5 coldest months in CLT history. It's going to take one heck of a torch to work on this negative anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 PGV currently -22.7 on the month.....if it wasnt for that 4-5 hrs above freezing before the storm started Wed we would have managed below freezing from 8 pm Sat Dec 30 till today at 10:40 easily the longest stretch I can remember and of that the vast majority of it was below 25 and probably 15-20 hrs of it was single digits and 3-4 hrs where below zero.....friggen insane. Still those few hrs barely above freezing will break up the consecutive record.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Crazy ice coverage on the sounds, its one thing to have some cove ice etc, but the Albemarle was almost iced over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 You know it has been an impressive cold snap when you wake up to a temp of 13 and you're like "meh". I'm afraid I will be permanently jaded by this cold snap. My head is still spinning from the 0 F on Sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctvman Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The last snow has finally melted in our area. There are still a few shady spots with snow, but mostly places covered with tree canopies. We had snow on the ground from early Wednesday afternoon until last night. A total of six days of snow. The public schools in the Charleston area are still closed because of the ice and slush threat on our secondary roads and the parking lots still being mostly a sheet of ice. Just an incredible cold snap. Some of the ponds and creeks on James Island were starting to freeze because of the snow and the cold after it, something that I had never seen before and probably won’t see again for another 25 years.

This may be a dumb question but I wonder if the freezing cold temperatures and snow cover on the eastern seaboard will have any effects on weather around the globe. What kind of affect did this cold snap have on the Gulf Stream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarmNose Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Also, there's a coat of ice on my driveway. Was it supposed to get below freezing last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillT Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 dont know if this matters but the pressure here dropped from 29.75 to 29.62 in 3 hours and the 29.75 would have been our lowest reading this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
