4.1* light breeze.

sub zero is a lock, if we stay clear and get winds to zero and we go -10. 
 

It wasn't a lock here and I can radiate pretty good, especially with snow on the ground, low of +1 (+.6). I've been dead calm since 3am, clouds must've messed it up. Meh for me when compared to earlier in the week. I did beat KMGJ which appears have only went to +2.

Bottomed at 7.9 around 1am and since then have been hovering around 11 - 12⁰.

North shore close to the sound is the warmest part of the island this morning.  Plenty of 0's elsewhere.

I shudder to think what'll happen once the pendulum swings, hopefully it's not in the summer.

I thought we had a chance to get to lower single digits. 10 again.
