Is it possible that snowshoe summit is 20 degrees and Elkins airport at 2000' is -12.  Crazy inversion if so

Fresh (ie. still fluffy) snow is way more effective at longwave radiation emission than hardpack snow.

lots of subtleties with snowcover. New snowpack is highly insulating because of air pockets, which means lower skin temps than old snowpack due to less heat draw from the soil. Older snowpack is radiatively similar to wet soil but with higher albedo. 

Interesting stuff. Thanks, folks!

Maybe it was mesonet too that I was looking at. Are they all at airports and public spaces?

It said 20 this morning I assume it’s broken. Virginia Tech’s weather stations are reporting -6 or less in the higher elevations.

edit: +20, not negative. That would be nuts.

Weather station at deep creek has been bouncing between -3.2 and -4.0. Currently -3.5. Impressive cold.

Deep Creek is now my favorite winter place. Tons of snow and cold.

At my house it’s 6.9, I believe that’s more impressive,

Second night in a row that my site is one of the coldest in the immediate area.  Currently -2° with calm winds and partly cloudy skies.

Oldtown, MD is -9°.  Cumberland and Moorefield, WV are -3°.  Saw a -13° at 1000 ft in the Buchanan State Forest north of McConnellsburg, PA about 30 miles north of me.
