HoarfrostHubb Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I remember that morning we drove from Cambridge to my grandmother's house in Mattapan. Dorchester bay was thick with sea smoke and the breaks in our old impala station wagon were partially frozen at the start of our trip. The pipe to our septic tank got clogged (it had a kink in it) so my dad and I were out snaking it at -10F Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I was thinking that when I walked the dog. I could actually feel the sun on my face. Only light wind here of course. Actually hit 8F here for a bit. Down jacket ftw. I went out with only a t-shirt under it and still was sweating after walking a half mile.

CapturedNature Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 heat wrap from home depot, careful when they thaw Tuesday they might be split I had my pipes freeze last winter. I learned the hard way that when it gets really cold that I can't turn the thermostat down to 50 like I usually do at night on my first floor. I wound up putting electric heaters in my basement in places where I suspected the pipes were frozen. It took most of the day but the ice cleared and then flow was returned. Now if it's going to be below -10, I just keep my thermostat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Looks like we'll peak at 5F. Tds are running -15F to -20F. The high should crest over us around 12z tomorrow so the timing is perfect. Part of me wants to say CON can make a run at -20F. MET guidance is near -30F for HIE and BML. It will probably be a lackluster -12F or something here while the valleys are 5-10F colder. The coldest I've recorded here is -17F in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ties my record low max for the day in 1987. Td is -22° so we'll see what we get in the morning. Timing couldn't be better for the HP to peak.

powderfreak Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Stratton with a high of -14F so far today, -16.4F right now, impressive. -35.4F this morning. It was fairly impressive for the summits, but we saw this last winter, too. Maybe not exactly this cold, but on Mansfield we had a low of -34F and a high of -12F. Warmest wind chills were -40F, coldest were -80F. Last winter we had a few days in the -25F to -30F range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Up here... MPV had a sub-zero high temp (-3F) and MVL had a high of 0F. I think both of those sites go well into the -20s tonight with dews today around -25F and clear skies. Wonder if MVL (and my backyard) make a run to -25F to -30F.

The bathrooms are back up and running, still waiting on the kitchen. We always drip the faucets when it's going to go below zero. I should say "we almost always drip the faucets".

Ginx snewx Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'll disagree. A torch winter with one exceptionally brutal day.biggest one day deviation since March 12, 4 days of double digit departures. All climo sites in SNE -30 or above, taste it.
