February 1996 was an el nino that had a historic arctic outbreak in February, maybe it's more common in la nina after el nino? JFK's previous record for today was 9 degrees from 1996.
-
It didn't even get below 20 in Boston in January, that has to be a record.
-
Boston made it to -11?! Wow I thought the low at Montauk was -2 Bridgeport got to -4 which was also impressive Providence at -9 JFK 4 and LGA 5 seem tame by comparison It was also colder NW of us as Binghamton made it down to -13
-
wow 9 am is late for a morning low, that must've been some amazing CAA that day! And the high was 10 degrees? (I think it was in the single digits at NYC.) The latest single digit high at JFK was in Jan 1977 I think (but the wind chill not as cold that morning.)
-
I'm guessing Jan 1977 was the same way? That might have been the coldest of them all (either that or Jan 1985)
-
Thanks, did Jan 1977 also miss just to our west? I think that's the other one were NYC and JFK both got down to -2
-
Philly only got down to 15 I think wow
-
Was that with the temp at -2, Don? Also would that still qualify for wind chill warnings with the new wind chill calculation-- I think -25 or below qualifies for that with the new numbers?
-
weird....so neither of these airmasses went "right down the Hudson"? -2 is really cold for an airmass to miss to our west (but I guess that's why JFK only got to 0 and did not go below)? That airmass must have been much colder and deeper than this one for Block Island to get down to -7! Did the one in Jan 1985 hit us directly?
-
That makes Jan 21, 1985 really special-- after all these years that's still the coldest day in my memory.
-
so -7 in 1994 is good context for what it would have been here had the cold air came right over us---- -2? Did they not go below zero in Block Island on Jan 21, 1985?
-
I've also wondered why JFK hasn't gone below zero since 1985....same reason as ISP?
-
Thanks Chris, are all of these oceanic low temps correct? some of these coastal temps are jarring -10 Boston -1 Cape Cod -6 Block Island -3 Nantucket -2 Montauk -3 Bridgeport
-
it's weird that NYC went below a few times in 1994 and ISP did not
-
some of these coastal temps are jarring -10 Boston -1 Cape Cod -6 Block Island -3 Nantucket -2 Montauk
-
-2 was the low at Montauk, -6 at Block Island, -10 at Boston
-
How come they dont get modified by the 40+ degree waters?
-
Seems like the kind of airmasses we used to get in the 1930s and prior only make it as far south as Boston now.
-
None in JFK since 1985 I dont recall any arctic outbreaks in 1988
-
Boston got down to -10 the coldest it's been since 1957 there! Meanwhile here it's been around 4-5 still the coldest since VD 2014 and not that far from the temps we had that morning.
-
Seeing wind reports of 66 mph from the north shore now (Eaton's Neck).
-
I think maybe that's with the new calculation, with the old calculation it could be anywhere from -45 to -60 lol Is there a way to find out what it would be calculating it the old way?
-
Brutal! Was that with a -2 actual temperature, Don and 25 mph winds? Also the coldest day I can remember! Is that using the new calculation for wind chills and did we have a wind chill warning that day?
-
I wonder if Mt Washington is actually more difficult to hike in these conditions than either Mt Everest or K2 Just had a huge gust that shook my house like an earthquake, must have been over 50 mph My power has flickered twice. Do you guys remember the January 2019 arctic blast? It happened on the night of a total lunar eclipse. My power went out for two hours from 8 PM to 10 PM and luckily came back in time to see the total lunar eclipse around 11 PM to Midnight. The full moon in winter is really high up (the opposite of the sun of course).
-
Don, I want to find out what the lowest wind chills I've experienced in NY are....is there a way to go about doing this? Basically covering the period from 1977 to 1994....I'm pretty sure we've not been as cold since then (unless you want to throw in 2004 too.)
