-6.3⁰.....still have 45 minutes before the sun comes over the hill. If we stay clear tonight, I would assume we hit double digits here

-7.1⁰ will do it, coldest temp since I moved here 4.5 years ago....

We’re getting soft up here.

deep winter is a 5” pack and single digit lows on 1/20.

What a local pit. 0.5F here.

[Typhoon Tip]

-4

Looks like elevation ( of course ) dependent.   +5 to -5 type thing

Logan bottomed out at 13F. Weak sauce.

Deep winner is 5 inches of snow on the ground and 15° below zero. The wind and cloud conditions for much of January didn’t allow the lows to go very low so our mean temperature for the month is artificially high. In my opinion. It hasn’t been a bitter month, but it’s been a solidly cold month up here
 

The gulf stream may be kissing and nuzzling the nape of Portsmouth, but it’s winter up here a few dozen miles to your west in the coastalplain.

Last week was worse with the wind. 
 

I think this week will fall to previous in real feel. 
 

We’ll get the lower lows at night  but daytime real feel will be warmer.

As of Jan 20, KCON was +.9. It’s really not that cold. We’ve had such torch January's that make it seem like this is a cold month.  We haven’t had that radiation cooling in the typical spots up until last night.

[tavwtby]

bottomed out at -8.9 early this morning, coldest Jan morning since I believe 2014

Yeah, fake or not, the temps still go in the books. Rad spots have it baked into climo. Those windy airmasses feel worse but dont produce decent lows in places like CON. The snowpack, while thin, also makes a big difference radiating.

Yeah it’s been January acting like January more or less. Well except for snow lol.

Got down to -6.7... big time bust for the forecasted low of 2

Philly actually.  Been here for16 years but whatever.  I know what winter is and I’m sorry it’s been so balmy for you on the coast

The lack of snow cover and the wind is keeping the nighttime low higher than they would probably be. It’s not like it’s some cold wave but it’s definitely been a winter month for the most part. For me that’s defined more by what it’s like during the daytime hours when I’m awake then by how cold it gets at night.

The wind popped up just after midnight and we went from -6.5° up to +5.7° in under an hour

Yeah some signs it could be active, but not a lot to say really given the tenor of this winter.

I don’t know where she gets these forecast lows from, but you can’t forecast for local rad pits either.
