Central Park is at exactly 0 now, which last happened in February in 1979! Can they get just one degree colder and make history? Or has the rising sun bottomed the cold out (low so far is 0)?

They did it.

-9 in Monroe. I can't wait for the warm-up midweek, and some hiking. Crazy!

It looks like CT got more of the cold than Hudson Valley areas of similar topography......BDR is -6 while normally colder White Plains is -3. Much colder Poughkeepsie is the same -6 as BDR but similarly cold (to Poughkeepsie) Danbury is -10!

I'll have to see if I can find the pic of -8 that I had.

Wonder what Mt. Washington hit? I saw Cam's post on that last night OMG!

<whew!> That was one thing I didn't need to worry about. I'd forgotten that the faucet acted up last summer, and we shut off the water to that sink. The shut off is in the basement.

I recorded -7.1 at 6:30. Phone said "feels like -26" (weather.com app)

It's so dry and I've had the humidifier on full blast since yesterday afternoon, which frosted all my storms upstairs.

All I know is I'm happy my car started so I can go let a dog out. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't step foot outside today.

I'm just a tiny bit older than you (3 years) and while I'm not sure what it did further into New England beyond FFC, I'm willing to bet January 21, 1985 (may have been 20th) was colder. I have to admit even though I was 17 then I don't remember it too well, but it's famous for even being subzero in DC and forcing Reagan's inauguration indoors. Even Philly was -7 (they are only in the mid-high single numbers this morning) and Newark -8 (they are 1 degree above right now) so I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to -20 up by you that day. In fact, I think the record for BDL is -26 on a similarly cold day in January, 1982.

Coldest I ever experienced is -16 during the 4.5 years in the late 1980s I lived in the Albany, NY area, though once while skiing at Mt. Snow at VT they said it was -15 with a -60 wind chiil (this was in the early 90s don't know exact date)

I also have a feeling that January day in 1994 that was the last NYC subzero until today might have given today a run for the money in New Britain.

By the way, there are Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings down in various parts of the Baltimore/DC area.

Also, I noticed it is still -1 in Central Park after two hours! If somehow it can (or between hours did) get to -3 there, that would be the first Central Park temperature below -2 since 1943 (ironically one of the 3 Feb. dates later than today that one occurred as it occurred on Feb. 15)! Not counting on it though, this is still pretty good and historic for the record......

This is the coldest I ever experienced in SWCT. Considering the fact that its been decades Bridgeport it makes sense.

Will get some stats after the lows update

Frigid in upstate NY by comparison. Watertown low was -37F. Syracuse hit -23F.
