January Discobs 2025

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Same. It was actually really nice temp wish. A lot of days reminded me of beautiful days in Lake Placid. When it's sunny, calm, and 30 degrees people are sitting outside at restaurants lol

[weatherCCB]

Low 8

[T. August]

9.0° low, thought mby had a chance for 5° but the clouds screwed it up.

I think widespread subzero was always going to fail, but if our Sunday storm hadn’t choked so badly, it certainly would have gotten colder. Also had a bit more cloud cover than expected I think.

LOL, I can relate. Son lived in Breckenridge for a number of years. 30 was WARM. People would be outside eating like nothing was wrong. I visited in June one year, it was decent, upper 30's. There was a pickup football game going on in the field beside his apartment, teams were shirts vs shirtless lol. People get used to what they live in/with over time.

[GramaxRefugee]

11 low so far. About 13 when I awoke, but had sudden drop an hour later. Might hit 9 or so.

[midatlanticweather]

I had a low of 3.6 degrees with a windchill low of -7!

Maybe it’s a mental thing or the air is thinner up there, but 20-30 doesn’t feel that cold in the rockies or sierras. But here, its freezing. One time in steamboat springs, we were swimming in the hot springs when it was 17 degrees out. 

[hstorm]

8.7 for the low.
