Hoosier Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Even the deep south/FL is getting in on it...from NWS Tallahassee ... COLD TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY ON TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. THE RAW GUIDANCE IS GENERALLY COLDER WITH AFTERNOON MAX TEMPERATURES THAN THE STATISTICAL GUIDANCE. HAVE LEANED TOWARDS THE COLDER END GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE AIRMASS AND THE LOW SUN ANGLE OF EARLY JANUARY. MUCH OF SE ALABAMA AND SW GEORGIA WILL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING ALL DAY, WITH MOST OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND ONLY REACHING THE MID 30S. THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE COLDEST DAY FOR THE REGION SINCE 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 -14 with a wind chill near -40 now here. Snow still blowing around out there. Normally when we get temps in the teens below zero it takes near calm conditions. To have winds gusting to 35mph with these temps is extremely impressive/scary. The house has made some pretty loud popping noises tonight as the temps cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure CAA with this, normally we need clear skies and calm winds your right, but when the polar vortex is waving at you from your own back yard not so much...good luck. House hasn't creaked here it did that weeks ago lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesota Meso Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 We got to -20 before midnight at MSP, that could be important as that is the coldest high temp ever recorded in MN. GFS 0z Mos says that we shouldn't drop below -20 for the rest of the day. It was canny accurate for the metro including dewpoints so I thought we had a chance, but looking out west the Mos guidance was way to cold compared to actual readings, current thinking is that we should see a high of about -17.

MN Transplant Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Low temps in MN didn't drop too much from what the readings were at midnight. My home town stayed at -20 the whole night. Impressive air mass, but the way this unfolded isn't going to stand out in the record books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive air mass, but the way this unfolded isn't going to stand out in the record books. Same here, I had -19 at midnight and I'm reading -24 with a -40 windchill at the house now. Being in the Mississippi River valley I'm a bit protected from the stronger winds...thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Like others, Cedar Rapids came up several degrees short of the predicted low temp. The Euro consistently had about -23F this morning in CR for many runs in a row, and the NWS forecast was -22F, but it only managed to hit -17. With the wind it's brutal, but -17F isn't a big deal. It's not even close to 2009 when the airport hit -29F and -28 on consecutive mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 temp continues to drop here.... -17 -43 (WC) had to go out with the dog since he wouldn't go out on his own...you can actually feel your skin kinda start freezing after a few minutes...or at least that's what it felt like....wild I should add....it honestly didn't feel like it was any colder than any of the other subzero days we have had before...but feeling the skin kinda "lock up" faster was the difference....definitely instant nose hair freeze weather though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
