wxeyeNH Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 -8F Sun just coming up above the ridge to my East so this should be low. Never have had a below zero high temperature so really hoping to do that today. With all this cold at least that will make it worth it. Then I'm done with extreme cold for this winter season.

CT Valley Snowman Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Stayed above zero all night here with a low of 1. Will Probably hit 8 here in the valley for a high. Hopefully we don't tickle 10 for a cheap double digit high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoob40 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 CEF came in at 1 as well. Local TV met is saying -18 there for Sunday AM low. Looks doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 This cold shot is not as cold as advertised. Not the coldest of the bunch. Only hit -2. Gonna go high singles today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 This is very impressive wind and cold. Still honking at up to 50mph at 1500ft. Temp is currently -16F at 1500ft. It has been snowing for 12 hours straight now with maybe an inch of total sand. MVL with -11F and 2sm -SN. Vis hasn't gone over 3sm in a long time. Really impressive to keep getting snow at these temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Doubt we sniff 0F today. The previous cold shots had highs of 0F, so we'll see where today shakes out. But this is nuts outside right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like they were headed for -6 or something by 9pm but then it didn't move for the longest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Probably stayed mixed to some extent up there. It's not unusual when a deep low is spinning to the north - northern Aroostook remains partially in the cyclonic flow while 200 miles SW it's calm and radiating. The frigid mid-Feb run in 1979 featured 8 consecutive subzero maxima at my place in Ft. Kent but a low of -21, nothing extraordinary, because the wind never quit. Meanwhile, Rangeley had several nights under -30, bottoming out at -38. Low this AM was -13, wind still gusting to near 30. We should pass the -7 from 9 last night, yesterday's low (and the first day since 12/26 that didn't reach negative double digits.) Probably will top out near the -3 of 12/28, and if we go calm before midnight, we'll make a run at -30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still impressive, but not like some of the earlier runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind has been relentless. But in terms of pure cold, this one moderated just a bit more. I haven't compared soundings yet but my guess is the late December shot was centered a bit lower down too.

eekuasepinniW Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The light flour snow shut off abruptly last night around 10pm and has now resumed. -2.8 Seems like a subzero high is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I remember the 850 temps not being THAT cold in December but like 900-925 was damned cold. This cold shot is tickling -30 up there at 850.

Thanks for the info OceanSt. Ya those lows occurred after I had left, so that’s probably why I wasn’t aware as well. I stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Looks like 7° here at noon so no record broken here for all time low max but I should be able to beat the record of 16° from 1994 for the day. My record low for 1/7 is only -2° (1/7/1988) so that should be an easy one to break as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
