Arctic Hounds Unleashed: Long Duration Late January Cold Snap

[Spanks45]

Bottomed out at -12.5⁰, while fake, it was still impressive for around here

[Chrisrotary12]

This is so unbelievably dumb. Hooray record high gas bills.

Do you have your own weather station or are you using a local site?

I just got a accurite nothing great but it works lol

Only -6 here, no fake cold (light snow)

[HIPPYVALLEY]

I’ve been below zero at least eight mornings this winter.

[tamarack]

-15 at 7 AM, haven't checked the max-min yet.  6th straight minima below zero, will probably make 9 before next week's mild-up.  Longest runs of subzero minima are 14 in January 2003 and 12 that February - a cold but dry (and BN snow) winter.

I haven't gone below yet, life on the coast, when I drove inland for work, I ran into negatives.

At one of my old houses, I had 7 days in a row with -20 twice. 1994.

[dendrite]

-10ish down the road in the valley again…pushed -15 over by Winnisquam.

Min was -1.7 here.

Years ago that would’ve pissed me off, but now we take.

The nearby Farmington co-op had -39/-38 in January 1994, their coldest mornings 1893 thru 2022.  In 1994 they had 7 AM obs time so those 2 minima might've been registered 2 minutes apart.  Other sites with midnight obs had the 2nd day 7-10° less cold.

I looked into my Fort Kent records, and the longest run of subzero minima was 18 days, Jan 16 thru Feb 2, 1982.  I'd expected a longer streak in that much colder climate; sometimes only a single-digit low would prevent a run of 25-30.

"Why can't they be like we are, perfect in every way.  Oh, what's the matter to kids today!"  (from Bye Bye Birdie)

IMO, it's more the lawyers that the kids.

That's embarrassing. 

 

Anyways, ORH has had a pretty good streak going of not hitting 20F. Today is day 6 and tomorrow will be day 7 of continuous sub-20F temps. We haven't had a signature crazy cold outbreak but it's been consistent solidly BN cold just bleeding down the monthly departure. 

7 days would be ties for 3rd longest streak on record with late Dec-early Jan 1918, Jan 2000, and late Dec-early Jan 2018.

We might get to 9 days on Sunday but I think Monday will finally break the streak before we can reach 10 days. 10 days is the record....both 1979 and 1961 hit 10 days. Still an impressive streak even if we stop at 9.

How do you look on that kind of info? Is it through Iowa state?

[Damage In Tolland]

It’s because of that govt in that state and the ridiculous cold weather advisories they’ve started doing with NWS. We all lived thru much colder and there was no cold wx advisory or schools cancelled . Just embarrassing all around

We've had wind chill advisories for as long as most of us have been alive. They were renamed to the more generic cold weather advisory 15 months ago.

Never forget those middle school days walking a mile to school in bz cold. The 60's early 70's were brutal. 

[dendrite]

My high school was like a college campus requiring you to walk outside building to building between each class. Jan 94 was a fun one for that. 

[CoastalWx]

I can't believe they called off. WTF.
