Was looking at some data and happened to glance at Christmas day 1904. It looked Frigid! So I did some searching and couldn't find anything of weather stories from that day, as usual that far out. I did come across this cool story
Burlington Vermont didn't pass 2°F(-17C) that day and a low of -14°F(-28C). (-28 below normal for the daily average!)
Philly didn't pass 26°F(-3C) with a low of 18°F(-8C)
There weren't many locations keeping weather records yet but that must of been one memorable Christmas back then
That day had a high of 62 F (16 C) in Raleigh and 38 F (4 C) in Richmond. There must have been quite the thermal gradient near the NC/VA border.
We had an ice day and 4" of snow on the 15th, though.

I assume the front hadn't pushed far enough yet, yeah that must of been something else. I bet temps were plummeting Christmas day and that high of 62 came in the morning.. Raleigh next day had a high of only 41F.
4 years ago we were getting hit with Strong Tropical Storm Irene. I started a thread knowing we would 1 week before thanks to the weather models. Check out the GFS from 7 days before. It was every run showing it. NUTS!
Check out the Satellite of the Hudson River before and after Irene.
1.2 Million without power in CT alone, that's just this 1 power company. There's another one that serves 600,000. I believe we peaked at 1.4 million. Some took over a week to restore.
Evacuations were mandatory for some and voluntary for most.
The storm stretched from Canada to Mid Atlantic at one point making it a Giant Tropical storm.
4-7 inches of rain fell area wide.
Some pics I took of the coastal Flooding and Wind damage.
These threads are a great source to look back on various weather events in recent years.
Post I made four years ago. "worst damage I've ever seen from a storm" only to deal with worse a little over a year later.
Anniversary of the 1938 Hurricane. One of the most destructive storms to hit Southern New England. Thanks to climate change. I mean thanks to what ever setup caused that. Lol
A 12 day jouney from the cape verde islands. Up the Eastern seaboard, Did Not weaken, then crashing into Long Island and Milford, CT. The eye was observed in New Haven, CT and it hit during high tide.
Blue hill observatory recorded 121mph sustained winds and 186 mph gust!!
Providence, RI recorded 100mph winds with 125 mph gusts!
10-17 inches of rain from the front and hurricane in the CT River Valley. Providence was submerged with 20 feet of storm tide. New Bedford,MA was 8 feet under water.
The CT river reached 35 feet which was almost 20 feet above flood stage!
Beaches were destroyed. Sand dunes. Communities. Buisnesses.
