They were pounding when all of those 10-12” reports came out yesterday mid morning. I honestly expected to see more 15-18” obs. Those who cleared probably did, those who let it set probably stuck around that 12-13” mark.

They didn’t plot the 16”. Boo.

Yeah idk…they have an AWPAGs and an 8ft diameter windscreen.

Where are the BOS and ORH snow obs taken from now?

The heated tipping buckets early in the ASOS era were terrible. I think they’re all over to weighing gauges with antifreeze now.

Alright these charts use actuals highs and lows for the POR. BOS streaks of 34 or less and ORH streaks of 31 or less.

That end of Jan AOB 19° streak for ORH was #2 going back to 1949. But I think this app uses hourly data and misses high temps between the hourlies.

BOS had 34° on 2/2

Yeah…a combo of sustained cold that’s devoid of warmth.

Ok…I missed that stat I guess. Was just trying to understand in what way he was basing that on.

100 years?

Let’s get another March 07 airmass. I was ripping 5/-22 with 40mph wind and sun in the afternoon and watching my snow sublimate before my eyes.

Back isn’t broken but it’s Larry Bird laying on his stomach on the parquet with a towel.

Cold me now Warm my heart?

Yeah and it’s been centered right where most of us like our winter…around the solar and climo min. So if March torches it’s just a big whatever.

I still can’t believe my soil 8” down has stayed above freezing this whole winter. Deep pack ftw. Snow cover since 12/2.

Coldest in years in New England? We’ve done colder than this at most sites multiple times in the past few weeks. But the point is that it’s a step up compared to where we’ve been and climo is going to make it difficult to reach the deepest winter cold again. I don’t think anyone is treating that like a “hot take”…just stating it for what it is. I don’t understand the defensiveness from some. BDL has averaged 13 days of 40+ in Feb during the 2000s. It’s not like it’s difficult to tickle 40s after mid month when the pattern relaxes.

I had over a foot OTG in Feb 2018 and we ripped 70s right over it.

Oh man we wish we were at RSW or APF right now…sipping a margarita on the beach in Boca Grande.

Yeah there appears to be a step up over the next 10-14 days and climo is starting to climb too. There’s a good chance we don’t see colder than this the rest of the season…especially WNE. Climo is approaching 40° at the big SNE sites it won’t have to be much AN to pop some 40s. But don’t bite me…winter isn’t leaving yet.

Some of these weenies really make you want to cheer on +10 winters sometimes

Yeah that was a rough one. One of these days I need to go through my data posted on here and update the last 2 seasons. I lost motivation doing it daily.

LGA 5 JFK 3 NYC 3 I think I said 4-5° given how low the core of the cold was coming in. That would flirt with daily records on some days, but not on 2/8 because of 1963’s sub zero.

-2.1 will probably do it Defeated by Ditty
