Nice time for CON to die...on a record breaking cold day on Thanksgiving. We can throw more “missings” into the climo data now.

I noticed that.  Isn't there a backup at the ASOS?  (Obviously not).....Something that someone can manually retrieve?  So many recording thermometers that could be calibrated to within a degree or so.  Much better than having no data on a potential record-breaking day?

Maybe GYX can estimate it, but I hate estimating records. A rare estimate on a near climo day is nbd as the day will easily be forgotten and blend in with the monthly averages, but estimating broken records suck.

ORH is 13F at 1pm. High so far today was 16F at midnight. So pretty safe that the all time monthly low max will be set...current record is 20F. So it needs to rise 7F in the next hour or two before we start descending again. In the words of Scooter...ain't happening James.

He might not express it well but I am sure you of all people know how badly the forests are managed especially out west. Environmental groups stopping prescribed burns, no thinning of the forests etc etc.. Man occupies places which burned out every decade or so, you have to manage the risk. Look at the Camp fire, 90% of trees were basically unaffected it was the human structures which burned. I am not going get into politics but these sound bites aren't the real story. We need to balance this all out if we want to live in the forest. 

All true, though raking leaves ain't gonna help.  :P
Thinning the "fire type" forests won't necessarily prevent all catastrophic wildfires, but not thinning (and not allowing "cool burns") guarantees them.  I'm very glad the grandkids live west of the Jersey pine barrens, where nearly 200,000 acres burned on one April day 55 years ago.  There's not been any really big fires there since then, and there are thousands more homes amid the pines than back then.  Once a fire crowns in that stuff, no human effort will stop it - the 1963 fire easily jumped the 100-yard firebreak known as the Garden State Parkway.  (The 1947 Kennebunkport fire torched an island 3/4 mile offshore.  Didn't reach France, however.) 

Still low teens here, winds gusting to about 30 - couple of house creaks, which is my gauge for hitting 30.  Today's mean should be on the cool side of 25° BN.

ORH is one of the coldest locations right now in the SNE MA/CT/RI area, the only ASOS i could find lower was PSF at 12F. That's really incredible for a November afternoon. 

All CT stations are already in the 20s, NWS highs are already busting too low

But we’re still gonna break the record...22 here.

When I was in college taking a Forestry class we went to the RI burn fire in 1930. I think it went from West Greenwich to Richmond in 45 minutes. 35 K acres burned. Since then the forest has moved back in among the houses.

Any info bout that fire available.  That’s insane for RI
