JamieOber Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Went out to go get some food, I hadn't driven anywhere since yesterday and my car was literally frozen to the driveway from the rain and refreeze. Looks like Barrow, AK out there. -3ºF currently. We're down to -5.3. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdd9108 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Is it cold enough to throw boiling water into the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Up here in Lowville, NY. About 6" so far a lot more to go when the main band gets here in about 1-2hrs. Crazy to think that fence is probably going to be completely buried by about Wednesday haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Is it cold enough to throw boiling water into the air. Me and my son tried it the other day when it was 0 and it worked good..nice cloud. We also did the blowing soap bubbles and having them freeze. I have some water boiling now that im going to put in my big sprayer to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I went out and braved the elements for you guys. Less then 1/4 mile visibility has been at my location since 5 pm this afternoon. Blizzard conditions continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Highlands Wx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Now down to -6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Down now to +2.2F with a dewpoint of -12.9F. While I know I will not reach the coldest temp I ever observed at my own home (in northern nj back in '94 which was -8F), I do believe it is likely that I am about to experience the coldest/lowest dewpoint temperature that I have ever witnessed, which was -15F, probably back in 1994 but I can't remember perfectly the date. Dew Points are all in the high teens below zero to our west out in Ohio and western PA and will likely translate eastward overnight. I'm only 2 degrees away from breaking that personal record of my entire life (54 years). Looking forward to getting more updates from Zak. I'm jealous. I would have loved to have traveled up there with him to witness 5 feet of snow in 2 days. My forecasted NWS low for tonight was +2 and I'm at that low right now. It will be interesting to see how much lower we are by morning. The models originally were calling for minus 7 degrees and then slowly have warmed up to just a tad above zero. For you older folks like me, the one date that reminds me of what we are all experiencing here tonight is December 25, 1980. There hasn't been a day like that that had temps a little below zero with winds of 15 to 25 with gusts to 35mph since that incredible morning. I had a Heathkit weather station (ID-4001) and it would calculate the live wind chill. Back then it was the original tables which were much colder than today's. I remember seeing the live wind chill reach -57 degrees at one point...insane. The high temp that day definitely remained well below +10 degrees...I think it only got up to around +4F that afternoon. That is the coldest day overall I have ever lived through, even a tad colder than Jan'94. Ahhh...memories of old. Stay warm everyone. See you in the AM with my temp update.

MAG5035 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Left the handheld out for a bit and just went outside and had -8.3F on it. I wanted a wind chill reading but it crapped out (probably needs new battery) when I started to walk around with it. Pretty ridiculous out there.

2001kx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 My mom says her thermometer shows -20 at her place in Lecontes Mills (about 15 miles north east of me) Not sure how accurate it is but its COLD either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that's probably a bit too low but there is a station on Mesowest pretty close to the Penfield Rt 153 exit on I-80 that is measuring -15 right now.

sauss06 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Harrisburg broke the record low for January 7th. As reported back a page or 2 the previous record was 5 in 1942. Though most of us saw negative temps, I think it's going in the book as +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
