Post your February Obs here.

We easily picked up an additional 8 inches after midnight. That gave us a storm total of 18". That is the most for this area since 1980. High is our current temp of 31. Low was 17.

I wonder if CLT finally hit single digits.

Finally, the big single digit temperatures  that were depicted by models are verifying for once.

High of 34.0 yesterday and made it down to 12.6 this morning, our coldest reading of the season

Bottomed out at 4.7

I think that, overall, this is the coldest morning this decade for the Carolinas and southern Virginia. It might have eclipsed December 2022.

We hit 11 this morning. I do believe this is the coldest since I moved into this house in 2004. No frozen pipes. Woohoo. Not looking forward to the electric bill.

That KHKY reading is bunk. It must be due to urban heat island of concrete around the airport. I'm a couple of miles from the airport (line of sight), and my Davis Vantage Vue registered 8.2 as our low this morning, around the time this was posted.

The CLT low was 10F as of 7:15AM. So unlikely it made it to 9F though not impossible since that’s still a little before sunrise. The 10F was enough to tie the record for the day.

 KSAV had 19 for yesterday’s low, which was a new record, beating the old record of 23. This ties with the 19s in Dec ‘22, Jan ‘18, and Jan ‘14 for the coldest since Jan ‘11’s 18. To put this into even better perspective, the coldest there since 1990 is only a little lower, 17! The last Feb with it this cold was 1996. Only 8 other Febs since 1874 have had a low colder than 19 meaning this is ~95 percentile for a coldest Feb low!

 Today’s low there was 23.

@buckeyefan1please pin this. Thanks!
