This is too cold. 

It’s a good time to install though. No sweating.

Beginning to think one of those billionaires got the crystals up into the stratosphere (jk).

Back down to -11.

Always interesting to look at the ISO New England electricity grid data during these cold shots. Looks like New England will be burning millions of gallons of oil for power generation for the next week or so.  Natural gas gets priority  for heating and we fire up all the peak oil power stations due to pipeline constraints. Electricity is almost $1000 mwh right now. It usually around $25-50.

I will reiterate wind chill factor is under measured. Sitting at 5° with a light wind and no gloves. Perfectly comfortable. Last night at 14° with a 20 mph wind was uncomfortable to put it mildly..

It was windy this morning too, my hands almost got frostbite installing a shear pin on the snowblower.

-13F at 7pm is a bit much.

You should move down here where it is warm, it's only -11°

Truthfully I don't remember many other than 2015. I'm sure Will could correct me.

-7 here, just put the dogs out.  No wind so it wasnt that bad even with no coat and crocs on.

Noticed you didn't say you walked the dogs? Not too tough to open the door, let the dogs out and amble back to the fire.

-16.3°/-20 at 10pm. Radiators mounting up…SLK at -22. Meanwhile, down to -7.7/-7 at WXW1. Frigid until the clouds roll in.

-18

The house is not popping yet. I'm quite shocked. Maybe it's because I have a new heat system.

 

[WxWatcher007]

If I did the numbers and record look up right, this should be the coldest day (avg temp) at SLK since 1/6/18. Pretty impressive.

It’s popped out. 

[powderfreak]

Min of -20F but started rising again.

Now a balmy -15F.

[Modfan2]

High 19F in E CT yesterday, dropped down to 4F last night but have risen to 7F due to cloud cover.

You are right I didn't walk them, I let them into the yard and threw tennis balls for them for 5  minutes.  I later had to go out for about half hour to look for something I misplaced in the open garage so that was a longer spell.

The focus is rightfully on the storm, but the GFS and Euro have one hell of a cold snap after this storm through early Feb. 

[Chrisrotary12]

Can’t wait to get this month’s gas bill.

My new combustion blower fan for the pellet stove that I got 2 weeks ago is already getting noisy. Apparently it doesn’t like running on high.
