ChangeofSeasonsWX Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 It seems like it's a lot more difficult to get record low maxes than low mins. Low mins are much easier to set. I mean when was the last really impressive low max? Maybe MLK day 2019? 5F was the daytime high for PVD that day which was the coldest low max since "Cold Sunday" on 01/17/82 in which the day time high was 1F. Barring the cheap midnight highs of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Hopefully everyone is staying safe tonight. Today was climatologically the lowest normal daily max temp for CON annually. It’s all up from here until July. Currently 11° with flurries. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 At quick glance I count 40 record low maxes and 28 record low mins for PVD in the 2000s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conditions are incredible, they opened West Mountain today and most of the glades - I feel like it’s some of the best snow we’ve had in years. Feels like skiing on baby powder. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 A week of below freezing temperatures solidly bumped up firewood inquiries. Another week would be nice but doesn't look in the offing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only speak for PVD though. Both Valentines Day 2016 and 02/04/23 hit -9F at PVD. We also hit -6F on 01/16/04 and -5F on 02/21/15. For comparison, the last time we had a high temp below 10F was 01/16/94. So it just seems a lot more rare to get super cold highs around here.

dendrite Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Almost every record low min for PVD from the winter solstice through the end of February is below zero. Single digit highs have always been a lot more rare. PVD only has 9 January max temps of below 10°F in their history. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I mean, although I wish there was an easier way to customize records to exclude the cheap midnight highs. For instance MLK Day 2019 had a midnight high of 10F but daytime high was only 5F, Christmas 1980 had a midnight high of 35F but daytime high was -1F which is insane.

The west is interesting… some good, plenty of bad. Like Utah and Colorado seem to be having a good run of it lately and are above normal at places like Alta and Steamboat. Tahoe and into northern Rockies not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
