powderfreak Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Real "Man Cold" in the north when its windy and below zero in the afternoon. Being in the teens would feel like t-shirt weather after this past 7-10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we got our money's worth out of this cold. Grand finale now over the next 48 hours. I was wondering why Mt Washington was so warm today, holding in the mid teens below zero this afternoon. Suddenly in the past couple of hours they have dropped to -29F. I guess this is the real push of the extreme cold aloft which should filter down over the next few hours.

We were running around -20F on Mansfield since about 10am this morning. Wonder why MWN was warmer and then all the sudden dropped a bunch. Feels like the wind has picked up again here at home. Lots of blowing and drifting snow at below zero temps...deep winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because they were closer to the low and a little bit of warmer air was still wrapping around? I really have no idea. It also seems like a push of CAA has just past through here like a secondary cold front. I have been 100% cloudy all day with light flurries. Temp slowly fell as you can see by my graph. Then around 5pm the flurries became steady light snow and the temperature started to drop much more rapidly. It was not because of sunset either.

wxeyeNH Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Just looked at Cannon and Loon ski/weather forecasts for this weekend. Really no mention of extreme conditions. Actually, Cannon just says it should be an "awesome" weekend of skiing after 13.5" of fresh powder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Still getting heavy flour with low visibility (3/4 mile or so). Seems like only here/con/hie have it. It looks pretty impressive but has only added up to maybe half an inch. -1.6 Peak gust of 43 once the wind turned more west. The mega gusts last night went unmeasured.

CT, 9 hours later and it was 7 degrees F. Don’t know where those -30’s your talking about are coming from last week?? Unless it was that much colder south of St. Agatha and Madawaska that day??? But driving home through the whole State...temps weren’t any colder than the north...but it didn’t get above zero until slightly north of Augusta.

S&P Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Sakonnet passage frozen entire width to the south as far as I can see, doesn’t usually freeze much further south than this as the tide tends to move through here with a lot of force and scours out ice pretty effectively.

Been rattling the windows all night. We'll see what the day brings. My all time record low max is 5° and I'm hoping to break or tie that. All week my forecast had me doing that - now it reads 8°. I'm usually a couple of ticks below that so it will be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah it’s pretty cold. Not like that Valentine’s day a few years ago, but still frigid. It’s 0F in the coop and that tends to run about 8-10F above ambient. They look cold, but they’re dealing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
