The GFS has a chance of some light snow next Monday, but the Canadian & Euro are still squashing it way to the south at this time.

The AI Euro does have the wave bringing a light event on Monday this run.

-2 for my Marysville low.

I’m trying to recall the last time that we went below 0.

MDT got down to -4 around 5:30 am.

Does anyone know the last time MDT went below 0 ?

Does anyone know the last time MDT went below 0 ?

Don’t know. My guess is either December 2022 or January 2018.

AI has it but puts it further south.

1 for the low here.   Hovered around 2 or 1 most of the night.

Indeed, Jan 3, 2018 it was -1.

I should add that at this range before Sunday's event, the AI had those kind of qpf numbers so don't assume it's married to those amounts.

I hit 0°F somewhere around 4am and that was as low as I got. My buddy in Lisburn just 4.3 miles away said he hit -3°F

Looks like some globals are trying to do a repeat of last system and pops a trailing vort.

Here's to atmospheric memory...lol

It got to -6 here at one point. 

[mahantango#1]

-15.0 was the low. I think It wasn't this cold here since 1994.

[canderson]

-1 was my low. I’ll be honest I didn’t think my shitty gauge can go to negatives ha

Grampian hit -14 going off their coop report.  Had to look that town up, it’s in Clearfield County by you 

[Mount Joy Snowman]

Low of 4 here.  Looks like the lowest temp on CTP's PNS was -20 near Lopez in Sullivan County.  Smethport hit -19.  This snowpack isn't going anywhere.

Most locations across Chester County experienced our coldest morning since January 31, 2019. Multiple stations fell to below zero with 2 stations Warwick Township 6.5 below zero and Devault 2.7 below setting all-time station low temperature records with NWS Mesonet data back to 2012. Other locations with sub-zero lows included Chester Springs 3.4 below (2nd coldest ever), West Bradford Township 3.5 below and West Chester 1.1 below. The warmest spot as always was the Brandywine West Chester Airport with a low of only 6.8 above. Our very cold weather continues all week before me finally moderate to above freezing by Sunday. Our next snow chance looks to be toward next Monday.

Incredible lows scattered around up in the Blain (Perry County) area (and others but these stood out on Wundermap) with readings of -14 to -17 around 7:00am.

This was my coldest low temperature since Jan 2018 where I got to -2.  I dropped to -3.6 F degrees around 7:00am.  I was already down to -2 at 3:00am and then it began fluctuating up and down several degrees either side of zero.  I have a second backup sensor located about 20 feet away from my primary station and it dropped to -4.7 F.  Officially I go with my main station data regardless.  The -4.7 was only 1.1 degrees colder than my official -3.6 F, so it's not that big of a deal.

I'm surprised to see clouds early on.  That would have interfered with the lowest temperatures.  Will we be able to do it again tonight or will there be winds?

Windber reported a 30” snow depth yesterday.  Deep winter 

[str8liner]

Temp gun showed -9 earlier but could be off a couple degrees.  When it gets that cold a few degrees doesn't matter. Its freaking cold.

[Itstrainingtime]

Low of 1.7 here in Maytown. Temp only fell an additional 3 degrees after midnight. Currently it's 6.7.

Lancaster's "other" official station at MU recorded a low of 6. That's 11 degrees warmer than MDT. That's remarkable.

Every local news outlet that I watch/see/follow in the Lancaster area refers to the MU readings as Lancaster's temp. Is there any other example of an area's official temp not being at the airport? LNS is never referred to by outlets that I see around here. @Mount Joy Snowman @pasnownut @Superstorm - do you have any clarification on this?
