1933 and 1943 would’ve been pretty cold up there. Franklin COOP had -40° in the 1943 one. That probably means somewhere around -30° here on the hill considering CON had their all time record low of -37°.

I need to find the closest station relevant to your climo for those years.

I was just looking up the 1933 data from all of the NH sites and there’s a lot of -40s in Coos, but 2 stood out…-48° in Milan and -52° in Dixville Notch. Unfortunately they were stamped with “not standard thermometer” on the forms.

Something HAS to give.  Something.  This could be a great winter - its in front of us - but only if we catch one or 2 out of this.  

There’s a path to a great winter. Even December wasn’t bad. It was frustrating for sure because it felt like we left a lot on the table, but at the end of the day, it was cold in December with a lot of smaller snow events to add to the holiday feel and we had long stretches of snow cover. 
 

If we somehow can cash in on this final 10 days of January and then those weeklies are close to correct for February, all of the sudden you are looking at a big winter.

The cold has been consistent…And looks to crush going forward now.  Let’s hope we can grab some of these systems the next couple weeks to start, as you said.

Had to be sub -40C stuff on a Montreal express trajectory. The perfect storm of ingredients to get those types of numbers. 

Today's 12z Euro shows near -40C at H85 in NW Minnesota at 84 hours. That's the type of airmass that can produce -40F or colder surface temps in the typical radiator spots, like Tower and Embarrass, if skies clear and winds go calm or near calm. Probably the coldest airmass in that part of the world (and imby) since late January 2019?

Feb 96 where they did -50s/-60 INL had -32C at 850 and -40C at 925 on the RAOB. Ooze a 1055 high over them and the heart of the cold can come in below 850.

That’s truly amazing stuff. I want us to snow this weekend but I really want to see high end cold up at WXW2 this weekend.

Except for the last 2 weeks. ;)

We’ll probably get the departures back to BN for the month, but it obviously gets more difficult to move the needle the further we go. Everyone in SNE is around +3 right now.

We’ll see if it moderates some but even the ensembles are damn impressive. I know that we can do colder historically, but this is impressive.

I don't want to sound like an old curmudgeon :oldman: but you are correct about historically seeing those temps.  I remember growing up that Canaan, VT was somewhat regularly the coldest reading in the lower 48. -20 was a pretty regular occurrence and -30 was not uncommon.  It's a few years since I've seen -20 here.  Having said that, I have an outdoor event Sunday so I wouldn't mind it moderating a bit.
