lol...yup. Or some idiot in my suite in Poland/Rogers would burn toast in the hallway at 4am after a long night of weed and Iron Lion Zion from Bob Marley.

If I remember, security and the hall monitors would also herd us into one of the other dorm's common lounges.

Right down the road here it was -18.5F at Franklin Falls Dam. I guess that's why so many people farmed on hillsides.

It was -15 when I left the house at 6:30.  It quickly got to -22 as I went down into town.  It was -22 pretty much the whole drive until it was -24 north of Well River and -26 in St. Johnsbury.  Feels nice with the sun however.

Arghhh, widespread -20 around KCON.  -21 in Boscawen.  Bye, bye peaches.  At least the new trees can put their energy into their roots this summer.

As long as there's life above the graft, all is not lost.

Odd temp action thins morning.  Had mid -20s at 4, popped up 11-12° by 6, then began heading down again.  I've no idea what the actual minimum was; will learn at 9 tonight.  After I stupidly failed to run the truck all weekend, had to jump it from the Forester (which we had driven 40+ miles yesterday.)  Truck is 2011 and battery original equipment, so we'll see if such behavior (truck's, not mine) is repeated.  Of course, 3 days with temps averaging 0/-24 (-1/-31; 1/-18; 1/-24) could take down some pretty good batteries.

I did some digging around in my weather record to look for my record of consecutive days of cold considering the streak that we're in and thought I would share some numbers for anyone else looking for streaks.  I would think that these would line up with other cold waves.  The other thing to note is that I only have records going back to 1985 and I'm sure there have been others before this.

In terms of consecutive days below freezing, my record is 21 days from 1/11 to 1/31/2003.  Prior to that it had been 19 days set in December 1989.  It was tied again in January 2004.

In terms of days below 10°, that was 3 days from 1/15 to 1/17/2004. 

In terms of below zero lows, I have a pair of 10 day periods with the first occurring from 12/15 until 12/18/1989 and the other being 2/13 until 2/22/2015 that had lows below zero.  2015 takes the cake because on 2/23 it only got down to 19° and the next 6 days had lows below zero so 16 out of 17 days had lows below zero which is pretty special.

But it's a dry cold!

Estimating for today, a full week with highs ranging -3 to 7, lows -14 to -31, week average temps 2/-22.  Unprecedented in my 19+ years here, and only one Fort Kent run (mid-Feb 1979) that really compares for sub-10 maxima streaks.  Only a weak 33° on 12/20 prevents the current 32-or-below run from being 26 days, instead of half that.
