I had an unexpectedly very cold January 10, 2004 with a high of 12 low of -1 but today beat it. We didn't beat our Jan 10, 2004 day up here because of our lovely 19F high at midnight. In the books as 19/4 here, Jan 10 2004 was 15/1. But if you read the NY Daily News today it was THE COLDEST DAY IN 118 YEARS!!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 At 8 pm my PWS was 10.1 DP -4.4. I'll take a stab at 4-5 for the low tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Close to when we start gaining temps climo. We might already by unrounded. Yep, but some of the coldest weather at many locations happens fro Jan 20 to about Feb 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yep, but some of the coldest weather at many locations happens fro Jan 20 to about Feb 10. To a degree. There isn't the same lag as snow.. most of the really cold stuff happens around peak climo cold. Cold is definitely better the second half of winter than the first though.. and Feb is favored over Dec for anomalies. I think if you repeat what just happened at the end of Jan you get pretty much the same result though, so my comment was probably trolling.

Siberian-Snowcover-Myth Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Why isn't there such a thing as a "hot snap"? Why just cold? There is no such thing as cold....... It is just less heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCWX Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I am wondering if we will get colder tonight? I am already down to 6. Last night it was 11 before I hit 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Why isn't there such a thing as a "hot snap"? Why just cold? I think about these things too. It might make a good thread title later on: "Upcoming July Hot Snap". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 it held! my unofficial backyard thermometer didn't get above 12 today. down to 6 now. thank goodness for the propane furnace we installed when we moved in--toasty warm heat. Lowest high temp since 1/19/1994 at MRB. I was in the old part of downtown Charles Town today. Got a real nice vibe from the store owners I talked to.
