When did the airport site become the primary obs site? I'm checking out the threaded extremes site and it looks like a ton of their -20 readings were measured with snow up to thy knickers and then even into the 1940s with an abrupt dropoff in the 1950s. 1994 was epic though. That really stands out for anything post-1940s. Multiple readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find Plymouth on nowdata. North Conway COOP has none since 2006 and CON has 2. Tamworth has at least 6.

We just haven't had that perfect arctic high in place where we pull off a sunny high of 5F with light winds and deep snowcover where CON can just drop off from 4pm onward. The city has built up a bit too, but if they could pull -33F in 1984 I'm sure they could still do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe we are returning to 1980s winters given how this year has gone. Might as well make a run at -30. The 1984 cold shot is always fascinating to me since it really wasn't that cold in the midlevels relatively speaking. That one set the state record in MA. I'm a bit skeptical of the reading but regardless, it was damned cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen -30F in the NE Kingdom and we were drinking beers and doing snowmobile things...but it was calm. Add strong winds and it gets ridiculous. I have had -18F and -19F at my house.

It has been a shitty winter. Great November. Otherwise it has ratted big time.
