Lack of wind makes a huge difference.  No hot water; pipes still frozen......gonna be one cold shower today.  On the upside, SFO/LA/SD here I come!

-8.8 at the Pit so far.

-7.2 at Pit2

I have the same problem except that it's all my water.  Must have happened between my 3AM call and now.  Never had that happen.  I put heaters on in the basement and hoping that works.

why does bdl run so warm? even brainard road is colder today....

The never used to until they did a move in the early 90s.  It happened while I was still working in the business because I remember it being a discussion point with other mets.  It was always warmer than CEF but was within a degree or two of BAF which it is the morning so who knows.

Man BTV with -20F this morning.  

That's impressive there.  Even a light east wind developed which is the drainage flow off the west slope benches.  

Very hard to get that good radiational cooling there.

-23 at RUT surprised me too. They often struggle to radiate.

It’s funny how CON didn’t even come close. The difference is they have a longer history than most sites and they’re a rad pit. That cold shot 1/7-8/1878 was one of their coldest on record. They had -24 on the 7th and -35 on the 8th. This morning’s well-mixed -7 never had a chance.

That’s impressive to break it by 4F in January

That’s like hitting 102F to break a 98F record in July.

1/7 is one of the weakest Jan record days for many sites. For ORH it was tied for 2nd weakest. Only the -3 for 1/3 is weaker. So basically we timed this cold shot just right.

I of course had to step outside in it for a short time but I didn't do the boiling water trick LOL.
