In Buxton Derbyshire at 1,100ft ASL and 53 degrees north, it is very rare and I consider it extremely cold if it gets below -5°C / 23°F, for goodness sake, just shows the one saving grace of the maritime climate we have here, no extreme cold.
-17 is really low for a coastal location. It's quite a bit south of NYC, and the NYC are really gets negative temps. I don't remember a negative temperature ever when in Long Island, though a -1 or -2 probably sneaked in. The record for NYC is -15 but that was a very long time ago. Delaware is on a peninsula on the coast, so I'm surprised it could get as low as it did.
Yeah but depsite being so small, it still goes 35 miles inland at it's furthest point. One would think that's be far enough for a colder low.
All these record lows are still impressive nonetheless. Can't imagine how southerners reacted to the cold in 1899.
-64 for the record low in Minnesota? As far as I know, the low of -60 set on February 2, 1996 in Tower has not yet been exceeded...
You are correct. I am a meteorologist who works for the NWS in Grand Forks ND and as far as I know it is indeed -60 as the lowest temp ever in MN.
