Arctic Hounds Unleashed: Long Duration Late January/Early February Cold Snap

[WxWatcher007]

By my count, and I do not claim to be nearly as competent as the great @donsutherland1 and @ORH_wxman, through 1/31 both BDR and BDL are experiencing their coldest (by avg temp) start to winter since 2011. Both stations just edge out 2018, and of course neither count February since it hasn't happened yet. 

That's very impressive to me. 

Maybe more impressive is the inland streak with temperatures below 25. Looking back, that 1961 period is just outrageous.

That's some man cold next weekend.  Winds are howling with below zero temps.
