weathafella Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah I agree...BOS prob won't make it. Yeah, I thought last night might have been the better shot wit the heavy snow and they came close. Also, solid shot at it happening post fropa next week. That's some very serious cold!

moneypitmike Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Still only 8 degrees here. one of the most impressive cold shots in history accompanied with a snowstorm Congrats--the beauty of Mount Tolland. The coldest CT locale outside of Litchfield County. 6.4/1 at the Pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But BOS needs real cold advection and snow helps but not as much as valley areas inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metagraphica Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Saw 16o and 18o while driving around East Lyme and Waterford earlier this afternoon. Only 12o up here on the hill in Salem. Looking to go below 0o for the first time since the winter of 09/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 it's great for cold in the daytime..and not so great on rad cooling nights Unless its the summer in which case it gives BDL a run for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't think today is all that impressive. Single digits high elevations and teens coast...we see that every winter. Now yesterday would be one of the most impressive cold events and that was with snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I didn't think it would work as "warm" as -7F but it did for the most part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb-HdHlAnhI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 13 here off a high of 14 in Death Valley. I'm thinking we'll get to -5 here... plenty of clear sky ahead and a very strong inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The snowcover will help. Interior radiational spots are going to be in the icebox. Coldest I ever felt was -33 at IZG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Lake Champlain should be producing good ice tonight. The frigid cold makes me hopeful that the lake will close this year. It's been a while, with the last closing occurring in 2007. Here's the latest picture (updated weekly here) from December 30. Looks like the southern half is ice-covered, and the bays on the VT side have ice. I know it's not our region, but the Great Lakes are doing well too: http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/glcfs.php?hr=00&ext=ice&type=N&lake=l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't think today is all that impressive. Single digits high elevations and teens coast...we see that every winter. Now yesterday would be one of the most impressive cold events and that was with snow. Yeah yesterday was literally one in 5 or 6 decades (if not rarer)...like its the type of cold near the coast you see during snowstorms only in Labrador or Alaska. Difficult to get that type of cold down even into coastal Nova Scotia or Maine during synoptic coastals...nevermind the coast of SNE. Today is commonly what we might see during our coldest day of a non-torch winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Temps starting to go down here off the highs. The station in Union is always fun on days like this - the high was around 10 (I can't tell for certain because it has solar issues) and it's down to 7°, 9° here.

Today is certainly nothing to write home about but I think we'll see some once in 5-10 year numbers tomorrow morning. As others have said, yesterday was just pure awesome. It's hard to follow that!

CT Rain Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's 1 in Norfolk..not meh meh. It's cold - but it's a pretty typical "cold winter day" - nothing is blowing my mind during the day. What is interesting is tonight's cold - really classic rad cooling setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Although, looking at the local wxbugs temps are starting to drop and not that slowly. We should know by 8-9PM if BOS will do it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it happens every year I don't know..But i would guess it's not more than once every 10 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
