Do they have a messed up sensor too? That looks extremely egregious. You’d think in 2023 we could avoid shitty temp sensors that go into official climate data. edit: just saw dendrites post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcostell Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 6 hours ago, powderfreak said: I heard they did hit -40F and was a record. Might be that same thing though. Yes, Whiteface verified... quote from local paper: (Our Camp at 1850 feet just to the north of Whiteface touched -30F. Was -27F still at 8 AM, warmed quickly after) The summit of Whiteface Mountain fell to minus 40.2 degrees Fahrenheit at about 3 a.m. Saturday, setting the record for the coldest recorded temperature there. “That speaks to the cold front and how dense the air is. It’s just an abnormally cold air mass that goes pretty deep up into the atmosphere,” said Scott McKim, science manager at the Whiteface Mountain field station of the University at Albany’s Atmospheric Sciences Research Center. The station recorded the previous record, minus 38.9 degrees Fahrenheit, overnight on Valentine’s Day in February 2016. The center has operated the Whiteface weather station at the summit since the 1940s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Lost power from 11 to 5, had the wood stove to keep the house comfortable. Have a genny couldn't get the damn thing to start.

Red is the analysis temp by MADIS of what was expected for MPV the last 36 hours. They’re running solidly 5-10° warm there. I see no reason why they should stray so far from their analysis temp given their geography and the strong CAA/mixing we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These events are really good for weeding out bad obs because the ridiculously mixed atmosphere basically just makes latitude and elevation the only significant factors.

I think the water supply lines to our washing machine might be frozen. Where they are is poorly insulated based on my looking at the situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it may be a flag that it’s time to replace the furnace….before it fails at a very inopportune time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, one of these doesn’t pass the sniff test in central VT. Very uniform minimum temps, and then a random -13F from MPV ASOS. The only other -13F mins in the state are literally over the water of Lake Champlain and moderated by the relatively warm lake water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and that’s how I picked out ORH pretty quickly yesterday. I had been suspicious of them for a while (due to their monthly departures always being warmer than other sites recently) but didn’t bother to deep-dive until this cold snap…this was a perfect atmosphere to do a QC and they quickly did not pass the smell test. Solid 2-3F too warm. It looks like MPV’s malfunction was only yesterday though right? It seemed like from Brian’s graph that the ASOS there was fine for the first part of the day and then rapidly went haywire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I check MPV with some frequency and haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. BTV, MVL, MPV are the ones I generally look at frequency and haven’t seen anything too weird. That one yesterday is a no brainer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
