tamarack Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 12z GFS shows BML at -15 at 18z Saturday. That afternoon max spoiled by a cheap midnight temp of just -11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anecdotal but I had two people tell me that Brownington, in the NEK hit -44°. I haven't found a report of that on the NWS page yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The minus 10's for metro west is pretty impressive for Saturday night, but the combined - single digits and wind for Friday night might be more memorable. I can't offhand remember ever hitting -10'sF in eastern MA in my 47 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOS hit -8 that morning and although there was a strong wind, some locations in the burbs probably hit -10. Oddly I can't find official records on wunderground, but I remember hearing on the radio a forecast for -10 to -15 actual in the burbs. This was after a high in the upper 30s the previous day. Jan. 2003 also had a min about -7 in BOS, so probably then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Love the NWS BTV... ha, gave me a shout-out. Can't believe Taber actually wrote that in there. .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 255 PM EST Wednesday...An active pattern expected as battle between arctic air and modified Pacific air develops across the CONUS...with several system anticipated to impact our region...as the Gulf of Mexico becomes open for business. Saturday/Saturday Night...well advertised cold airmass across our region with 925mb temps btwn -28c and -33c. The combination of building 1040mb high pres over Ohio Valley and departing sub 970mb low pres over the Canadian Maritime will continue to produce brisk northwest sfc winds of 10 to 20 mph with localized higher gusts Saturday...especially with progged 850mb winds of 25 to 35 knots. Dangerously cold wind chills continue on Saturday...hopefully PF enjoyed the fresh 12 inches today on Mansfield. However...as 1040mb crests overhead by 06z Sunday...expect winds to quickly weaken by 00z Sunday and become light trrn driven. These light winds combined with fresh snow cover...and mainly clear skies temps will quickly drop. Expect highs only -5f to -15f on Sat...with lows -15f to -30f Sat night...with some values near -35f SLK/NEK and deeper/protected valleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the cheap 12:01 high, that would've been their coldest maximum on record. (My data only goes back thru 1920; wonder what their max was on 12/30/17, when NYC topped out at 2.)

As will the people outside who are experiencing/sensing the temperature. So that adjustment would be in line with how it feels to people. In other words, short people never really experience the 2m temps. I like seeing the forecasted high of -3* in my p/c for tomorrow. 2.4* off a midnight high of 15.7*, wind gusting to 30.
