How many days on average a year does your location have subfreezing high temps? (2014, frost)

[GymFanatic]

My current location? Maybe one every three years.

[srfoskey]

The 1981-2010 average for OKC is 7 and for RDU is 2. For the whole POR it's 9 for OKC and 3 for RDU. For OKC the most on record for a winter is 26 in 1977-78 and for RDU the max is 16 in 1917-18. The fewest on record is 0 in both places.

Since I spend a lot of my time in Bowling Green, KY now and feel that it better reflects the climate of where I live (White House, TN), I'm going to post an updated version of my 2014 post, which used data from Nashville, TN. The following data is for Bowling Green, KY, over the 25 winters that I've been alive:

1992-1993: 10
1993-1994: 18
1994-1995: 16
1995-1996: 22
1996-1997: 10
1997-1998: 7
1998-1999: 13
1999-2000: 7
2000-2001: 17
2001-2002: 9
2002-2003: 15
2003-2004: 9
2004-2005: 9
2005-2006: 5
2006-2007: 10
2007-2008: 9
2008-2009: 9
2009-2010: 16
2010-2011: 17
2011-2012: 1
2012-2013: 2
2013-2014: 19
2014-2015: 18
2015-2016: 11
2016-2017: 6

Average: 11.4 (total of 285 days)

I never thought that BG, being so close to Nashville, would have double the ice days. That 50 extra miles of north latitude and lack of a UHI help.

[Ethereal]

My city never had a subfreezing high, thankfully.

[Dean York]

1, maybe? I'm not sure. They are pretty rare tbh.

The last ice day here was on the 18th January 2013.

It is so sad I would never want to live in a climate like this Average low temperature in January is 3.3*C in my city and I complain about how warm my city is in January


When it is 3*C outside, all people complain about how cold it is. I really don't understand. I don't even zip my coat when I walk at 3*C. Please, somebody take me to a colder place where people don't complain when it is 3*C When I say 3*C is not cold, people look at me in a very, very angry way.

[Cambium]

Average is 17 days a year with a sub freezing max at the coast (Bridgeport)




Average is 28 days a year with a sub freezing max for Hartford

[Cambium]

Interesting to see a majority of us who voted so far never had sub freezing max?

2nd most is 1-10 times.


Wow at the Greater than 100 folks.

Local topography and distance to the sea obviously plays a huge role in all of that. This place is less sensitive to cold than places just 3-4 km inland and so often it reaches 0.5C even on days that feel very cold.

How the hell did you collect that data? SMHI only post frost days in their statistics.

[BeerParty]

None. Average high in July (coldest month) at Renmark Airport is 16.3C and 16.2C at Renmark town station (1981-2010)

Record low high at the airport is 8.3C and at the town station 7.8C
