Radiational cooling did its job last night. Starting the day at -7 this morning. 

Off to get the DN and Skeeter ice boats ready for this afternoon

Send us a picture, or maybe a short video!

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. 

Was zero at midnight and then the clouds rolled in and that was that.

Up to 11F with very light snow falling.

-1.6 here this morning. 
 

I figured being on this hill would hurt me on RC nights but I guess not. third coldest temp I’ve recorded on any weather station since 1994…

-4 in 2018(?)

-2 in 1994

-1.6 today

4 here last night

Just went to Robert Moses. Bays are indeed frozen. Also saw over a dozen deer

Only dropped to 1 here.  Zero at my location still remains elusive.  Very surprising with the snow pack.  In this mornings case high clouds started to roll in pre-dawn based on satellite loop and killed the chances of a zero.  Was 2 degrees at 3am but only dropped 1 degree from that point.

+3.5°F for the low here. Looks like -2°F at Shirely and -9°F at Westhampton for lows.

-8°F in Toms River

-9°F in Somerville

-11°F in Morristown

Unofficial numbers though

Impressive cold nearby; perhaps the lower elevations (MMU/Somerset) acted like a sink.
