-1° for the low.

If anyone has season-to-date snowfall totals let me know as i'm thinking about doing another update this week for seasonal snowfall maps. 

-Thanks

I’m in the cold pool of air to your east/northeast. My low was -3 currently it’s +6. It’s a rare occurrence where my temps get lower than yours. 

I'm up to 24 at home now. The below freezing streak may end today for me, at nine days, which is the second longest streak I've recorded.

Managed a low of -1 at 7:47am up to 19 now.

KMGJ, two miles up the road is currently -7 and I'm +3. I always find this stuff interesting, I don't recall ever having such a large difference with KMGJ. 

Looking further, that’s quite a cold pool of air just to my northeast this morning, lots of below zero. To the southwest it’s warmer, relatively speaking. 

KMGJ, two miles up the road is currently -7 and I'm +3. I always find this stuff interesting, I don't recall ever having such a large difference with KMGJ.

I promise you I have way more than 13" of snow on the ground .

What was your measurement this morning?

I've waited to long for a stretch like this with deep snow cover and sustained cold so I'm still enjoying it. Give me another month to six weeks of this and I might be ready to cry uncle. 

I’m with ya on this. Sure I’ll pay more for heating this season but we’ve been getting off easy for years. I’ll likely tire of it around the same time you will. I’d like to get some more snow though. As much as I’m enjoying it I’m also looking forward to that first mild calm sunny day to have a pint on the deck, preferably while there’s still a pack out there. 

This morning’s snow depth

-3 for the low with 12" at both stakes. 

+1 for the low, big whoop.

4.1* light breeze.

sub zero is a lock, if we stay clear and get winds to zero and we go -10. 
 

It wasn't a lock here and I can radiate pretty good, especially with snow on the ground, low of +1 (+.6). I've been dead calm since 3am, clouds must've messed it up. Meh for me when compared to earlier in the week. I did beat KMGJ which appears have only went to +2.

Again wind has to calm down if we’re going to really bottom out. If so we’ll approach zero outside the city. If not we’ll end up in the high single digits like last night. 

Agreed. It's not windy per se but it's too windy here for the temps to really drop, 8/-2.

I bottomed out at 0° this morning. 0.3° to be exact.
 

With clear skies, calm winds and deep snow cover, I would expect the entire northern forum to be below zero tomorrow morning. I would also expect to see many double digit below zero. I might be wrong, but we shall see.

I was watching closely for a bit this morning and every time the temp would start dropping again a slight breeze, like 3mph, would kick up and the temp would rise a degree or two.

Low of +2 this morning. Maybe I get a below zero reading right before midnight to keep my streak going but it looks to be too windy for me.

A bit of a breeze is kicking up so it hasn’t gotten below 16-17 so far. Until that breeze stops the bottom won’t really drop out on temps. 

The breeze has kept me above zero, sitting at +3, my below zero streak up here may end at four days as a result. Although if it doesn't go below in the next hour or so I could go below before midnight, keeping the streak alive.

I've never heard it called that but this is probably the event.  These are hand transcribed central park observations neatly written by a very young weenie.  The plus sign was said weenie's convention for separating sustained winds from gusts. Check out that pressure and the temperature drop!  That was a flash freeze for the ages during the morning rush hour.

 

I found the below on the NWS Albany page. This also got me reading again about the Buffalo Blizzard in 1977 when they did record 12" but the bulk of the snow was blown into Buffalo from a frozen Lake Erie.

The nap is fantastic

Violenty agree. I woke up at the tail end of the last one I had and still didn't feel a thing but did see up close on the monitor where some people say my head is...

I've had four below zero mins so far this year, the most I've recorded was 15 in the '14-'15 winter. That winter is also my longest consective streak of below zeros, which was six. I'm currently at six days in a row below 32, the most I've recorded that was 14 days in the '17-'18 winter, and interestingly that winter I recorded a total of 23 days below 32 degrees.

That pack depth map looks about right. Funny how the banks are so big and in the way, when we've had so much more on the ground before with fewer problems. I think back to the 40" pack a few years ago and, unless my old brain is more muddled than I thought, it seems like I had more room for snow than I do this time. *shrug* Anyway... I'd be good with another string of small, northern stream events keeping the pack fresh for a few weeks.

The piles and banks are huge and I atribute that to the higher than expeced water content in the snow. Something to keep in mind as we move towards spring.

I was -2.7 this morning. That would round to -3. That's the way I've always done it. If it had been -2.5 I would have done the same. 

Agreed. My -5.9 goes in the books as -6 and my -8.4 yesterday goes in the books as -8.
