I love that the volunteers are up there all the time. Too cool. Keep jotting down those weather stats and logs!


Check out the video of when he was pouring boiling water at -31°F (-35C) AND Hurricane force winds

15/16 and 16/17 winters were both very mild, with December 2015 and February 2017 being record warm. I just think the winters are becoming more extreme in both directions

1969-70 or '77-'78? 2 possible outcomes.


If exactly the same as '69-'70 (possible) three more weeks of single digit high temps Chicago-Toledo-Pittsburgh northward sparing the southern states, with a weak thaw end of January, followed by a near normal but dry February. Several 2 - 4" snows in early January (frontal, not low pressure type), but no big storms of note.


However, during the last fall, there was a tendency for low pressure systems to "bomb" which was not the case in fall 1969. Because of that, I can't rule out a low pressure system "bombing" in which case a major snowstorm with hurricane force winds could occur anywhere between Illinoise and the Atlantic seaboard, but more likely inland west of the Appalachians. A slight letup in chill mid-late Jan, with weak lows tracking through the Tennessee valley would precede such a low bombing out the last week of Jan or first week of Feb. There could be two such events about 2 weeks apart. (1978 pattern). One can't tell at this time which will be the case.


In any event, dead brown leaves clung tenaciously to the oaks in Michigan this fall and are largely still on there - frankly, to a degree I've never seen before. That very reliably predicts a fierce winter.

If you check my link, the next week probably won't make it to the top 15 coldest weeks for Amherst. Nothing new. Just one station, but it's not unusual for the region.

Quite possible the upper less saline areas of Mount Hope Bay in Fall River are icing up, water temps right about 32F.

I think the consistancy is. 10 days like this starting in December?

Last time NYC had 5 in a row days under 32°F in December was in 1989.

For Hartford, Dec 1996 had 6 in a row staying below freezing. I think we'll beat that. Lol

Been couple decades since we seen this consistency this early

Wind Chill of -84°F. LOL What? They broke the record low this morning.

Lowest Wind Chill recorded on the Rockpile was last night, 2:53 AM, air temp of -33F with a 93 mph wind gusting to 97 mph- resulting in a value of -88F. The "old formula" would have resulted in a value near -110F.

Currently 12F / -11C.

Very, very unusual for Islip to reach that even once in December, let alone twice.

The forecast low for tonight is 6. The all-time record low at Islip in December is -1, but only 5 if you exclude the recently-added data (1963-1983).

How can this be?.
Because it affects the whole planet including the weather patterns. Not your little bubble of a city
