I'll bundle up and check to see if it has expanded. Some spots could see an ice shove with the strong winds next few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 37 minutes ago, [email protected] said: Any chance that this ends up being one of the three coldest winters in our area, since 1976-77? I don't think it will get anywhere close to the top three. You have to remember those 3-4 degrees below normal you see for the past two months are measured against averages from 1991-2020 which are the highest averages, by far, since records have been kept.

SACRUS Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Records: Highs: EWR: 60 (2020) NYC: 56 (2020) LGA: 58 (2020) JFK: 54 (2020) Lows: EWR: 5 (1993) NYC: 1 (1910) LGA: 5 (1993) JFK: 7 (1993) Historical: 1780: Unprecedented cold wave occurred in the winter of 1779-1780. All waterways in the Mid-Atlantic area including the Potomac River and most of the Chesapeake Bay. The cold weather set in during December of 1779 and area rivers were frozen by Christmas. The cold weather continued through the month of January and lasted until the first week in February. To the south Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News and Portsmouth were connected by thick ice that supported foot traffic between the ports. The James River could be crossed on ice near Williamsburg. Even further south, the Albemarle Sound was frozen thick enough to allow American soldiers to cross on foot. Thomas Jefferson noted that never before had the Tidewater frozen to such a large extent. On the beaches of the Delmarva, ice mounds piled up to a height of 20 feet as a result of breaking waves and frozen spray freezing on the beach. The ice mounds did not melt until spring. (p.30 Washington Weather Book 2002 by Ambrose, Henry, Weiss) 1835: On this date through the morning of the 10th, the earliest well-documented severe freeze occurred across northern Florida. Tallahassee dropped to 4° and Jacksonville & Pensacola fell to 8°. The edges of the St. Johns River froze and ice was reported in Pensacola Bay. The temperature was below freezing for over two days at St. Augustine. All citrus was killed. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1861 — The temperature at Gouverneur, NY, bottomed out at -40 degrees, a drop of 70 degrees in one day. Two days later the mercury hit 55 degrees. (David Ludlum) 1861 — Hanover, NH, plunged from 37 degrees at 1 PM on the 7th to 32 degrees below zero at 7 AM on the 8th, and West Cummington MA plummeted 80 degrees to -32 degrees. Boston MA plunged from 46 degrees to -14 degrees, and on the 11th was back up to 60 degrees. (7th-8th) (The Weather Channel) 1899: A third area of low pressure moved in to DC on the 7th and dumped an additional 5 inches of snow bringing the snow cover in DC to around one foot.(p. 51 Washington Weather Book 2002 by Ambrose, Henry, Weiss) The arctic outbreak spread south of Canada on February 7, 1899, dropping temperatures to -61°F in Montana, -59°F in Minnesota, (a state record that stood for almost a century, until the village of Tower recorded -60°F on February 2, 1996). (Extreme Weather p. 63, by Christopher C. Burt) 1904: A tornado touched down in the southern tip of Illinois, hitting the towns of Meridian and Villa Ridge, north of Cairo. Parts of some barns were carried over a mile. Another tornado causing F2 damage in Clinton County picked up a two-story home, turned it around, and returned it to the ground. Oak trees with trunks 20 inches in diameter were "twisted into splinters". (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1920: A 4-day ice, sleet and snowstorm over New England and southeastern New York came to an end after dumping as much as 15 to 20 inches of frozen precipitation.(Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1933: A 112 foot rogue wave was survived by the USS Ramapo in the Pacific Ocean. It is thought to be the highest wave ever observed and survived. It was caused by 70 mph winds over a large fetch. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1934 — A deep freeze made it possible to drive from Bay Shore to Fire Island NY. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987) 1936: On Friday February 7th, 1936 Richmond had 12.6 inches of snow and on the morning of the 8th Richmond had a low temperature of -10°F . 14.4 inches of snow in Wash. DC from 2355 on the 6th to 1645 on the 7th occurred the greatest snowstorm since Jan. 1922. A low pressure system formed to the east of Florida on the morning of the 6th and moved to a position about 60 miles east of Cape Hatteras. The first flakes of snow fell in Washington, DC just after midnight of the 7th and by late morning over a foot of snow had fallen. The total accumulation in Washington was 14.4 inches with a liquid content of 1.01 inches. Vertical weather accompanied the storm as temperatures fell to 16 degrees Fahrenheit during the height of the snowfall. Only 3 to 6 inches of snow fell in far northern and western suburbs. Norfolk recorded 9 inches of snow, the city's heavy snowfall in the last 40 years. (p. 60 Washington Weather Book 2002 by Ambrose, Henry, Weiss) Over 14 inches of snow fell in the Northern Virginia with greater amounts in the Skyline Drive area. The heavy snow set the stage for the great spring flood in March when warm temperatures brought a sudden thaw to the snow pack. Following the snow, Richmond's temperature fell to a record low for the month reaching -10 °F. (Ref. Virginia Weather History) 1967: A strong low pressure system created near blizzard conditions in the middle Atlantic religion. The brief, but intense storm produced 10 to 12 inches of snow across Washington, DC area. Light snow broke out during the evening of February the 6th. The snow remained light to moderate through the night, and then became heavy around daybreak. Snow accumulated at 1 to 2 inches an hour between 6:00 a.m. 11:00 a.m. and quickly ended around noon on the 7th. The storm dumped 10.3 inches of snow an it National Airport and 11.7 inches at Dulles generally, 10 - 12 inches of snow fell throughout the area.(p. 79-80 Washington Weather Book 2002 by Ambrose, Henry, Weiss) (Ref.

The tornado formed near Santa Rosa Island and moved ashore at Navy Cove, Florida. (Ref. Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2012 Accord Pub. 2011, USA) 1978 — The worst winter storm of record struck coastal New England. The storm produced 27.5 inches of snow at Boston, and nearly 50 inches in northeastern Rhode Island. The fourteen foot tide at Portland ME was probably the highest of the century. Winds gusted to 79 mph at Boston, and reached 92 mph at Chatham MA. A hurricane size surf caused 75 deaths and 500 million dollars damage. (David Ludlum) 1987 — Low pressure in Manitoba, Canada, pulled warm air up from the Gulf of Mexico, and more than forty cities in the north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including North Platte NE and Rapid City SD with readings of 73 degrees.

MANDA Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Had some light snow for a couple of hours last evening in the hours before mid-night. Woke up at 4:00 this morning to near blizzard conditions in a heavy snow squall as the Arctic front was moving through. Temperature was 21 degrees. Not sure exactly how long that squall lasted. Woke up again at 7:00 and winds were howling and the temperature had fallen to 7 degrees. Currently 5 degrees. Melted total in the the cylinder was .03", that was the easy part of the observation. Snowfall was very difficult to measure with the howling winds and the light fluffy snow. New snow was blown clear in some spots. Found a more sheltered location on the south side of the house and .70" was best measurement. Snow still blowing off rooftops and it looks and feels like the Arctic tundra out there. Fitting way to bring this prolonged bitter cold period to an end. Moderation is coming for next week....still cold though, no torch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
