I think we were northwest of Lake St.Jean. Three of us hung back to help someone with sled trouble and didn't get to the hotel til 8:30 at night. As soon as I took off my helmet and balaclava, my nose instantly froze shut! Crazy experience holy cow I was there the exact same time (Feb '06). we drove up to Q City, then rode from there up to Jonquiere. then around lac St Jean and by Mt Valin. it was a very fun trip, but super cold. we were all dressed for it and were fine. lots of stops at the remote "relais" to warm up. One thing i do remember quite well is one of my buddies on a Yamaha, that had the exhaust out the back by the tail light. we got to an intersection and he was stopped, and I thought his sled was on fire-but it was just the exhaust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will whine as they don’t like anything negative to be said about the winter events they wait 3 seasons for . We know it’s gonna be cold . The thread is to talk about numbers , wind chills, effects trends , Etc. it would make a difference regarding weather with respect to records being broke or not . I'd 'almost' argue the thread really isn't that constructively intended haha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wx2fish Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 3 hours ago, OceanStWx said: My gut is that Fri night cold is being overplayed (wind chills will still be brutal, talking strictly air temp). CAA mixing should keep things from challenging records. Sat seems to be trending a bit colder as the core of the cold is delayed by a few hours. MEX is now single digits at PWM for a high, which hasn't been done in 5 years. Then Sat night I think has the potential to be the coldest for some places. High hasn't totally left town yet and that inversion is going to allow temps to drop from a pretty low launching pad as is. Might be -20 at HIE/BML before midnight. Yeah the way that high crests directly over NNH early Sat night looks pretty ideal. If clear, First CT Lake would radiate like the moon before WAA tries to cap it.

It's in an out too fast to even make an impact, really.

I might go through a couple more gallons of heating oil on Saturday than normal, but overall, my energy use has been less. Sports betting is now legal in Mass! Might have to do a few parlays to cover Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's brevity is sort of symbolic of losing overwhelmingly but getting a single punch in just before the bouncers carry away the cold. heh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed drinks are three dollars at the local Elks club so it wouldn’t cost much to erase this cold snap from memory. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was it! We used to go with a group of 30 guys, the guy who arranged the trip owns Dalene Flooring in CT. We were prepared for the cold so it didn't bother us however a couple sleds needed help to start on morning. A little use of the leatherman allowed us to "Borrow" the hair dryer in one of the bathrooms at a motel to warm their engines Cleaning staff shared their extension cord lol. I wish I could remember where, one night we stayed at this huge log cabin like hotel up in the middle of nowhere. I think it may have been in the Jonquiere area? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 850mb is actually a bit colder for at least Brian and my area. Even so the min's are a bit warmer than 6Z temps. Is that a function of the wind staying up Friday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
