CoastalWx Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 It’s been interesting watching the turkeys lately. They are just hanging out in the trees or on my fence and are kind of in WTF mode it seems. I caught them hanging out on the south side of my house, almost soaking in the solar radiation reflecting off the house. It’s definitely behavior I’ve never noticed before.

HimoorWx Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 -5 for my low in Randolph. Picked a great week to cancel our Sunday Globe delivery. Walk to the nearby store was a bit brisk.Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost never see the turkeys in the winter and wonder where they hang out. Assumed they didn't walk south for the winter.Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not getting the weenie radiational cooling numbers and the wind isn't enough for mancold wind chills. It's like 35F snow in April...basically useless.

Yeah, RAD cooling FTL, If the wind had fallen off i think we would have done better, I see IZG was -26°F, We had colder nights in the last 10 days then what i had last night here.

metagraphica Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Made it to -2.6 last night. First and probably only below zero reading of the season down here unless we get a good cold radiator night in early February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metagraphica Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Beautiful view of the east coast this morning. Still snow pack down to the coast in SC. You know it's been cold when they hold onto snow that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cold snap definitely won't be about the lowest lows but more for the lowest highs and duration. I feel it's easier to pull off the former than the latter since it's a lot easier to radiate/decouple on a clear/calm night in many spots with snowpack. Sitting at 4F at 11am.

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I hit -4 and -7 on consecutive nights to start the month, so in that regard last nights cold under-performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good still clear night on fresh snow and you can easily get -teens and 20s here in VT. To me what this snap was about was the sheer brutality of the 48 hours from Friday AM through Sunday AM. The wind on sub zero temps was punishing up here. For it to last two full days was intense. As I said to PowderFreak, today feels 40 degrees warmer despite being actually colder so far. In the sun, with no wind, it feels 30+ here. Also, noticed a lot of the weather stations along Lake Champlain have flipped to reading S winds. Marking that as the point we started to climb out of this cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not imagine being that cold up here though. The coldest i have ever experienced is negative 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Managed -9.7 at the Pit. On my drive to BDL, the car was showing -17 in Whately. Word on the street is that my water is back on at home. Whoo hoo. I took the coldest shower of my life this morning! 8.8* at the Pit; 8.1* at Pit2.

dendrite Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Only 7.6F so far, but it feels like spring with full sun and calm winds. The chickens agree...lots of sunbathing in the coop with their new chopped hay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine what 40F and sun would feel like right now. I may be tempted to wear shorts later this week. Which reminds me I saw a guy at Target Friday night wearing shorts and a t-shirt with -20s wind chills. Nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few days, she hardly did more than let the door close behind her before scratching to come back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the people wearing dark clothing, riding a bike with no helmet, and the only thint that allows me to see them is their pearly white legs sticking out of their shorts.
