temps may be suspect for next weekend, but things coming together now in the 7 day range, this has been there and disappeared many times, so let's see if we can get a consensus as we close in... maybe a nice couple inch refresher Tuesday night

Why do some want to keep this cold? I’m all done with the $300-400 electric bills.

seriously, and it's killing my vehicles man, radiator, suspension stuff due to potholes and heaves, too cold to work on em yet too, and my salamander just shat the bed.

my memories from today are from the start of one of the best storms I've ever seen, 2/8-9/2013 32" in Waterbury with drifts that completely covered my truck and car, insane rates too... could really use one of those right now, then it can spring or do whatever it wants.

I'm curious what the streak is here for sub 50°, I don't think it's been over 45° here since mid November, and that is just a handful of days above 40°, quite impressive cold winter, at least my driveway isn't a skating rink like last year tho.

edit: I just checked and appears 11/5 was 50.1°, last time it was 50+ here anyway.

down to -5.7° here, but that wind is making it brutal... otherwise it's not that bad, to me anyway, my wife hates it, I've worked in shit like this and honestly prefer it over 95° with 70+ dews, but that's just me.

Was 26 at 1pm. Front rolled through and dropped to 14 by 4pm. down to 12 now, and wind is blowing the new snow around. 

high today was 22.7° at midnight, and 17.1° at 12, it's now 0, with 23 sustained and gusts 45+, only got an inch new but seems like more with the wind blowing it over everything old, nice little refresher hopefully more by the end of next weekend.

oof! wind is atrocious, got about an inch but the cold and winds are the business! deep winter out there

Yeah it’s getting breezy here. Still spitting flakes with some peeks of sun, but it’s essentially ovah. Now we drop. At least the chickens got another sneaky good afternoon in the run. 

my poor ladies haven't come out of the coop since I fed em this morning, they want no part of this wind and cold

just under an inch here, but man wind already howling, had a gust over 40 already, but is that a meso low of the coast of RI moving north? cyclonic behavior of the returns moving almost like a supercell with rotation 

tough call with this ivt setups, models could be off by 50-75mi and then it's a whole new ballgame, more of a nowcast type thing, like Jan 2011, iirc was modeled east of where it really sat and dumped... anyway, we coat here, anything would be nice to refresh things a bit.

One of my favorite weather memories, especially because the models were burying us a few days later as well. 

yeah this was a nice one when I was in Waterbury, lost my wedding ring in the snow that night and we'd just gotten married a few months before, but wound up with a good 10" I think, one of many that month. roofs collapsing everywhere 

right now the GFS is alone with anything significant that ain't a cut or whiff, but all have something in that time frame that can pop, we'll see and maybe a convergence comes about for something good, at least we track...

11-14° around me but down in the valley it's close to 0, crazy how they can radiate in auch a short distance.

I was mistaken earlier about the run of days below freezing, on 1/22 I hit 42... however avg for January is 30.1°, and ytd is 29.9°, all days, including the warm in Jan, never got above 44°, and 1/25 almost got out of the single digits while dumping snow, pretty impressive temp run here... I honestly don't know what the average monthly temperature is here, i never finished that, but I'd bet it's maybe top 10 coldest January here anyway... looks to continue for another week at least, hopefully ending with a big dog and then I'm about ready for warm, this weather is killing my vehicles.

hey guys im working on something can you tell me more exactly where you are in the town (you can base it on surrounding towns) for example Danbury in the center next to the new york boarder, NE Danbury near the brookfield/new fairfield town line, SE Danbury near Redding, etc..

thanks in advance, you can pm me if you want... and anyone else i forgot

Winsted Holabird Ave, if that helps...like a lot of "towns" Winsted is in Winchester, but it's like Waterbury and Torrington, areas that are low next to the river and areas over 1k', I'm just under that.

Wow…very impressive.  
 

So back on Wednesday the 21st…you guys didn’t go above 32?  I think that’s the last day we did..when it started out in the single digits, but warned up to close to 40 that afternoon.  Then it snowed that evening/night with a couple inches. But since then it hasn’t broke 32 here.  So 13 days so far and counting.  Quite the run for sure. 

nah, 23.6° on the 21st here, I'm curious what the record is in this area for below freezing 

30.9° for a high today that makes 18 straight days...

Probably Wednesday the 21st right was the last time…was up near 40 that day if I remember right? 

per my station it says the 15th was 35, and before that I think the 11th, of course I'm looking on a phone so I need to go back day by day for Jan still, haven't had time. but it's been a grip since it's been over 32, that's all I know and my wife can't stand the winter so it's all I hear...

29.5° today felt like 60 honestly, I don't think I've been above freezing here in a couple weeks, that mid Jan thaw was the last time I think...the cold I can handle it is the wind that kills me and drafty house ftl. 

nice swath of 12-18+ down there and freeze warnings just about to the tip of FL, not sure I've seen that before, let alone snow and freezing temps in the deep south back to back years.

I am at -2 and literally down my hill 3/4 mile two PWS at-11

damn that's crazy

Radiators are killing it. -20 East Side Berkshire lots of-10s plus all 

i figured last night was going to plummet, instead it pretty much flat lined after about 9 or so 

lowest so far was 1/28 here at -7.6°, currently is 4.0 here, at least it's not windy, yesterday was brutal cold with the wind.

One year I threw ice melt in panty hose, think it was 2015 when it got out of hand.

this works, did it in 2011 with 37" on the roof, worked great. sounds weird but works

Lots of people caught with their pants down with empty oil tanks and a surge in heating oil spot prices around here. Jumped like a dollar or more in the last week around New Haven. Hearing there is huge waits for deliveries.

that sucks, I used to lock in a price early, and had delivery once a month even if to top off, worst was digging out a path to the street in late jan 2011, it was over 6' by the time I got to the street, you can see layers of the storms avg depth was about 37/40"... took me all day, but I had oil, he wouldn't deliver otherwise.
