sctvman Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Low was 20.7 here. About a degree below last year's coldest (19.3) but winds are higher. 25 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Got down to 6 this morning. That is the second coldest low here since 2005 and only missed last year's cold blast by two degrees. We blew through the forecasted low of 10, and no model had us that low. The Euro was particularly terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Things froze up so quickly last night it formed some icebergs in this old milk can sitting outside!!! It had been collecting rainwater this summer and fall, and was about 1½" from the top yesterday afternoon. The ice expanded with such force it even pushed one chunk out and over the edge.

NCSNOW Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Well I've lived in my house going on 19 years and never had my water freeze up until last night. The wind pounding/penatrating must of been what did the trick. I have some 0 nights, but not with the wind. It makes a difference. Snow covered ground actually helps insulate. Anyway thankfully dodge bullet, want happen again. And weather wise it's cold. Ponds freezing up, creeks lakes still thawed at the moment.

downeastnc Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Well, the NWS doesn't seem to.... Guess that depends on just how much drizzle there is......the temp never got over 28 here today, so tonight the bridges wouldn't take much to freeze up but I would think it would have to be pretty heavy drizzle which seems unlikely given the air mass.....but IF it does then I don't see how it wouldn't freeze to the roads and be a issue.
