OceanStWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I thought Ct was -26 at Falls Village? Read them off wrong, still -32 though at Falls Village. Coincidentally the same day PWM hit their all time low temp of -39 (2/16/43). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Surprisingly hard to find that data. Still don't think we're challenging all time records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWMan Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Read them off wrong, still -32 though at Falls Village. Coincidentally the same day PWM hit their all time low temp of -39 (2/16/43). I just cannot imagine it ever getting that cold here. Seems like we struggle mightily to get to -10 even under presumably ideal conditions. That must've been a heck of an airmass.

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 All time record lows for any date or just Jan 3/4? I doubt I even hit my personal low of -18.9F from 2004 I could go to -13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind at the time the area around the observing site was much less developed. A lot easier to radiate without all the buildings and blacktop.

I doubt I even hit my personal low of -18.9F from 2004 I could go to -13 Much easier to break a daily record. Our regional all-time temps are pretty tough to beat. Impressive that northern ME today came within 3 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well golly gee, this list my town as having the record low temperature: http://coolweather.net/statetemperature/connecticut_temperature.htm I've never heard of that but it's also only a tie of the Falls Village record of -32°F. Good to know though!

CapturedNature Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I thought Ct was -26 at Falls Village? -26°F is the record at BDL. The acknowledged record low for CT is -32° at Falls Village and Coventry. All time record lows for any date or just Jan 3/4? I doubt I even hit my personal low of -18.9F from 2004 I could go to -13 I think you'll do alright, you live in the coldest part of Mass.! Birch Hill Dam held the states lowest temp until the 1980s (I still question the Chester numbers) at -35°F. I would agree that I don't think we'll see all time records broken but I do think we'll see some impressive numbers. My all time record low since 1985 is -20°. My record low for Saturday morning is actually only zero so that will surely go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modfan Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 So, what are realistic lows for Sat? I am assuming -5/-10 a safe bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx2fish Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Much easier to break a daily record. Our regional all-time temps are pretty tough to beat. Impressive that northern ME today came within 3 degrees. Is that Big Black River site relatively new? Seems hard to believe it hadn't hit -50 until 2009.

CapturedNature Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Is that Big Black River site relatively new? Seems hard to believe it hadn't hit -50 until 2009. I think it is. I don't have any specific data but I recall that it was about 5-10 years old when it broke (tied) that record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Is that Big Black River site relatively new? Seems hard to believe it hadn't hit -50 until 2009. The gauge was there since 1983 reporting stream flow, but a thermometer wasn't installed until 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The difference in MAV and MET guidance is pretty massive. For ORH, MAV has a high of 5F tomorrow with a low of -7F Friday night...MET is a high of 16F with a low of 0F Friday night. ORE looks like a prime spot for the ASOS winner in SNE tomorrow night. AFN may give it a run, but my first guess would be ORE. Could get close to -20F there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well golly gee, this list my town as having the record low temperature: http://coolweather.net/statetemperature/connecticut_temperature.htm -32 is the record in Coventry from Jan 1961. That's a tie with Falls Village from 1943. Some of the other numbers from 1/22/61 are also very impressive... -28 Bulls Bridge -27 Washington -27 Mansfield -26 Bradley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 MET so far today is not capturing the cold temps. I knew it was too warm, but I'm wondering if MAV is too cold for tomorrow. I guess we'll find out soon enough. The airmass is more impressive down below 850mb than is typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 My apologies to Coventry. I wonder where that was recorded. Coventry overall is pretty hilly town and you wouldn't think an all time state record would come from there. It must have been in a real low spot near that river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry overall is pretty hilly town and you wouldn't think an all time state record would come from there. It must have been in a real low spot near that river Given the number of -25 to -30F reports from 1/22/1961 I'm not surprised someone was able to sneak down to -32... especially in a town that's hilly. Where there's hills there's valleys. Here are the 10 coldest mornings in Coventry - at 480 ft. 1 -32.0 1961-01-22 2 -28.0 1961-01-23 3 -27.0 1984-01-23 - -27.0 1984-01-22 - -27.0 1982-01-18 - -27.0 1965-02-04 - -27.0 1961-01-28 8 -24.0 1967-03-19 - -24.0 1967-02-13 10 -22.0 1988-01-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I always thought Greene RI had the record. I had posted about Wood River Junction RI, only about 7 miles from the ocean. I used to live about 3/4 mile from the obs site, bottom of a sand hill and pine trees, absolute beast of a radiant site. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/extremes/scec/records Rhode Island Minimum Temperaturei -28°F January 11, 1942 WOOD RIVER JUNCTION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this reading was from close to the Mansfield line as that is in a valley of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
