    Seems like interior NNJ into interior SE NY has been in a pretty bad screw zone for a while…can extend that into W CT

    The headline did specify “two day storm totals”. But yeah, Feb 69 was a lot longer than that.
  3. ORH_wxman
    It should probably be in top 5 for ORH too but I’ve always been skeptical of their identical 10.1” measurements at exactly 10 to 1 QPF for both Feb 6 and 7 1978. Also observed snow depth went from 10” to 30” exactly matching the “storm total”. This tells me it was estimated after the storm ended. All of the evidence I’ve seen points me to about 26-28” at ORH in that storm. But unfortunately that’s what goes into the climate record.

    Their graphic is messed up for ORH. It accidentally shows the Jan 2015 storm twice. The top spot at 34.5 is correct for storm total but the 31.9 is the one day Jan 27th total incorrectly listed as a storm total.

    Do they have a messed up sensor too? That looks extremely egregious. You’d think in 2023 we could avoid shitty temp sensors that go into official climate data. edit: just saw dendrites post

    5F at lunchtime. I was expecting a slightly better rebound today but yesterday someone (I think wx2fish) mentioned the inversion kind of holding tough for a while with the high still cresting over New England….looks like that has happened so far. Might be the type of day where the max is closer to sunset than usual…we’ll see.

    I think that paper was 2008. Theyve def upgraded CFS a couple times since then.
  8. ORH_wxman
    Yeah that’s what I thought but couldn’t remember. Unlikely both sensors would be fried so the dews are prob legit. Im just glad ORH didn’t put up -14 or -15 on the temps. Extremely unlikely they beat 2016’s reading of -16 given the surrounding mesonets. One in Paxton touched -17 but a few others didn’t and that one was at 1200 feet a couple hundred feet higher than airport.

    Yeah the move to the Logan airport site from a bit inland in 1936 had a much larger effect than any UHI. BOS proper was already quite built up by mid-20th century as you said. It’s not a situation like Dulles airport or Sea-Tac where a ton of land use changes happened.
  10. ORH_wxman
    I wonder if their dew sensor was operating ok….since we know the temp was running 2-3F too warm. Dec 1990 readings are totally fake. Wasn’t even that dry or cold of an airmass.
  11. ORH_wxman
    Not bad. 4th coldest reading on record at the Logan airport site. (Post-1936)
  12. ORH_wxman
    Ok but you responded to a post about the 00z euro.
  13. ORH_wxman
    I don’t think any other event in my lifetime exceeded the wind chills of this one on a sustained basis. This was pretty brutal for about 8-12 hours. We’ve had longer outbreaks for sure…this one was really short but incredibly intense.
  14. ORH_wxman
    On 00z euro?? That looked good to me.
  15. ORH_wxman
    Wow. BOS -10 is legit. Beats 2016. ORH -13F….they likely tied 2016 given the surrounding mesonets but we’ll never know for sure.
  16. ORH_wxman
    Almost obs time…and this is really impressive near KBOS
  17. ORH_wxman
    It’s hard to even let anyone feel that with exposed skin. It would freeze within a minute or two.
  18. ORH_wxman
    MWN seems stalled at -45. Still might be 2-3 hours to drop it further but they aren’t reaching -50.
  19. ORH_wxman
    ORH -6 Seems be fluctuating between 2 and 3F too warm These temps are crazy considering the core hasn’t arrived yet
  20. ORH_wxman
    He was kidding…see the discussion about the ASOS a couple times in the past few pages.
  21. ORH_wxman
    Yeah it’s a legit dangerous night to lose power. It’s bad enough on a run-of-the-mill 10F breezy night in mid-winter, but this makes that look like a balmy summer evening.
  22. ORH_wxman
  23. ORH_wxman
    Yeah that’s a solid 2F off. Can make a good case for 3F too warm since those mesonets were 10 min before obs time. That’s pretty awful.
  24. ORH_wxman
    Just a few minutes to obs time, let’s what they come in with…
  25. ORH_wxman
    If their low is -15, I might go office space on the ASOS. I’ll be on the news in cuffs being perp-walked in below zero readings.
