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

[CoastalWx]

Low was 2. Meh.

[dendrite]

-2.1 will probably do it

Defeated by Ditty

[Sey-Mour Snow]

-2.. not bad on par with Jan 2023

[Zeppy]

-9.6/-12.6

[dendrite]

LGA 5
JFK 3
NYC 3

I think I said 4-5° given how low the core of the cold was coming in. That would flirt with daily records on some days, but not on 2/8 because of 1963’s sub zero.

-5F here with a nasty wind.

The one real cold shot we had that entire winter. The difference that time it was all brown. Completely snowless. January didn't even make it below the 20s the entire month. Horrific winter.

Brutal cold right down to the shoreline. Not often you see BDR HVN and GON approach 0. 

Wind chills 13 to 22 below @ 7AM

Side note: man 15-16 was absolutely abysmal for you 33.4? I got more snow than you with close to 40. That probably never happened before and wont happen again. 

Actually was a pretty decent winter here. Solid 3 week stretch and two double digit storms, one was a blizzard.

Yeah that was a rough one. One of these days I need to go through my data posted on here and update the last 2 seasons. I lost motivation doing it daily.

That winter almost ended me.

Think we were 55” or so for snowfall and the picnic tables only had 153”.  Lowest on record.

It’s currently around 280” for moving 20-year average…forget the exact number.

For example, this season we are at 231” to date up there.

Aside from the wind its nothing special. Trade off for grabbing the snow yesterday, we sent the cold core west of us
