LibertyBell Posted January 13, 2024 Share Posted January 13, 2024 11 hours ago, Volcanic Winter said: Coldest temps here I’ve experienced are around zero, but the coldest I’ve ever felt was when we went to northern Iceland last winter and caught the tail end of a colder period. At night it was like 10-15 degrees but with 40 mile per hour wind. I’ve never experienced anything like that, you needed beefy insulation and a serious shell to mute that wind or you would turn into an iceblock. It’s well known how mild Iceland is for its latitude, and indeed it is relatively speaking. But the wind is the great equalizer there as it can absolutely ferocious and unrelenting. Despite, sections of the north do have a tundra climate which is quite cool to experience. The wind makes an absolutely enormous difference with this stuff though for sure. -10F is one thing, but -10 with any real wind would be scary. Can’t imagine colder than that. @MJO812 Go with your SO to Iceland in Nov or Dec and get up to Akureyri. See the sights around there (carefully). You’ll be in your glory. We've had that here..... in 2003-04 we had a snowstorm where the temps were in the single digits and the winds were blowing like 30 mph. In January 1996 the blizzard started with temps in the single digits also. I'm trying to remember our lowest wind chills, but the way they were calculated changed back in the 90s I think. Before that we'd regularly get wind chills down to -60 with the old calculation method lol. With the new method, I think -30 to -35 is the coldest wind chill we've had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasiluvsnow Posted January 13, 2024 Share Posted January 13, 2024 The models and many people in this thread cannot even agree on what will happen IF at all on Tuesday so opening a storm threat thread on what might happen NEXT weekend / 140 plus hours from now = we might as well be talking about what July 4th will look like 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted January 13, 2024 Share Posted January 13, 2024 Ensembles overnight seem to have gone back to accelerating the return to a cool down again...problem is they do not agree on where the ridge is, GEFS too far west and we'd keep getting cutters but be cold...GEPS a bit better, EPS best...all have a +NAO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
