Carolinas will get some snow. Now if we could just get this band just a bit northwest.

[pazzo83]

DCA 24/16 on the day.  A cold one!

[dailylurker]

Cold, but only 16. Check out the bay effect snow band down near VA Beach. That's something you don't always see. 

[Lucketts]

An impressive 5/2 here. 

“in the bleak midwinter”
 

[Terpeast]

Low of 9 so far

[H2O]

12.6°. Might get to 12 before the sun

[dailylurker]

Its 13 degrees. That 15 degrees higher than models had 7 days ago. When we see those ridiculous low temps in long range we'll know to ignore it. I feel like the cold shot went more south and moderated as it came east. It's a shame non record cold suppressed a storm to Florida lol

[MN Transplant]

9.3 and still slowly dropping.  Family W of Frederick is at 0.0.

[clskinsfan]

Low of -2 this morning. 1 degree now. Cold.

It was mostly the Euro that had a terrible time with surface temps.  And then the RGEM closer in.  The other models were more more realistic, and then the peak cold was delayed by a few hours which didn’t allow us further east to get as low.

[Terpeast]

8.8 still dropping. Core of cold is just west of the metros

[katabatic]

In Mountain Lake Park, a nip is in the air at -12.8. Here in NY a local station has -16. Ended up with 55 inches - but now time to finish digging out and head home. Fun chase. 

[midatlanticweather]

Currently 5.2 degrees.

Euro has had a rough winter lol. Headed out to South Mountain this morning to hike out to Annopoils Rocks. I want to experience one last deep winter day before deep winter ends this weekend.

Amazing! Post more pics!

To this point, none of the three main climo sites have dropped to single digits.

[snowfan]

-23 at Canaan NWR. A lot of negative teens in WV, WMD, and WPA. 10 imby.
 

 

[WxUSAF]

Low of 8

[Kmlwx]

Low of 9.0 and that's where I am right now. 

[TSSN+]

It’s coollldddddd 

[mattie g]

10 here. It's chilly, but honestly...meh.

[WVclimo]

Low of -4° for the second morning in a row.  This matches the lowest temp I’ve recorded in 19 years at this location, along with January 2009 and January 2014.

[SnowtoRain]

13.6, not sure if we will get to single digits on the Eastern Shore this week.

[Roger Ramjet]

Low of -2. First below 0 in my log home.

[wxdude64]

Currently 0.6/-2.7 after a 0.3 low, JUST missed negative numbers. Still have a few minutes to see if we can get below zero before the sun gets above the hills. High was 17.0.

Yes, I've run 5-7 degrees warmer than the forecasted lows for last couple of nights. Actually ran a few degrees colder for highs though, sorta averages out in the end.

Saw some high clouds just to the SE of me, that was probably what kept the three climo sites warmer than just to the NW. 

I also noticed that my station runs 1.5 degrees warmer than the average of the surrounding stations, so I might have to do some calibration. My car’s thermometer said 7 degrees, and it usually runs 1-2 degrees too warm. 

[Terpeast]

And 16th straight day of snow cover. Pleased with this January when expectations for this winter was super low. 

[poolz1]

Hit -7.0 just before sunrise.  Confirmed by a station about 2 miles away which is at -6.3 and truck therm read -6 when I left the house at 630 this morning.
