Here's where midnight to midnight observations suck. The high was 19 at midnight so it was far from the coldest high I've experienced. The Low was only -4 so not the coldest there either but what here's makes it special:
According to IEM, from 7 AM to 3 PM, it was below 0. After 5 AM, the high would have been just 3. Never experienced a colder daytime then this.
Hottest: 7/23/16 in Las Vegas
High of 113. Felt like an oven. However, it was still tolerable and while not active, I spent a decent amount of time outside. MUCH MUCH BETTER than anything over 90 with high humidity.
Man, last winter was the weirdest winter I've experienced. Green christmas, no lasting snow until January 5th where starting from the first of January, temperatures dropped from 4'C to -20 in a week, and then stayed between -15'C and -30'C for another five days, after which temperatures stayed about 5 degrees below average until the end of January. First the absolute furthest green season I think Umeå has experienced in many years, and then the coldest two-three weeks I've ever experienced, with just a few days of transition.
Same here. December had a 6C avg high, no warmth records were broken here but I read that Örebro had a 13.1C day around the winter solstice
Then the first three weeks of January saw -4/-13 averages here. Granted it never dropped below -20C once, but it was bitterly cold and the cold has a different charachter down on these latitudes here because of the open path for Atlantic humidity.
Then all out of a sudden the final week of January had something like 6/0 averages and felt like England. All snow got wiped out in 72 hours... and the end result was a January that was -2/-9. It was weird as hell! A bit how I imagine Atlantic Canada
I just checked Roros on Google Maps. Didn't realize it was that close to Trondheim. Quite a dramatic difference in climate over about 100 kilometers as the crow flies. Must be interesting to make the trip on a cold winter day. I assume the chnage is pretty gradual.
As for the July 2014 in Paris, had you been there a week before, you'd have experienced overcast skies and highs in the teens!
Teens? Wow
Yeah, Røros is very different. But there are more snow on the ground before you reach Røros, as Røros is also fairly dry. Elevation, sheltered by mountains, inland = Røros.
Some fool on Wiki calling Röros a "continental climate" when it's damn obvious it is subarctic, and even relatively cold for that with those summers.
I was there for one day in February 2004 (my only real visit to Norway). It was quite cold, but probably around the average of -5C because I can't remember freezing.
Outside at an airport with no shade for a good 6 hours, with temperatures ranging from 91-102°F (33-39°C) and dew points up to 73°F (23°C). What an exhausting (and sunburnt) day, but totally worth it to see two F-4 Phantoms fly together, as they have since been destroyed as aerial target drones.
coldest: blizzard in Toronto when I lived there with a temp around -25c, and some additional wind. Pretty damn cold, although I have felt very cold as well in much warmer temperatures.
Hottest I have felt was probably summer 2015 by the sea in Calabria in Southern Italy, temperature was probably only around 32-33c, but the dewpoint was at least around 25c and it was really muggy and I felt sleepy most of the time. No A/C of course.
I can't remember the exact year, I was in my early teens, so maybe 1980-1982 or so? We lived in Ohio and had the cold snap from hell. We lived on a farm and the temps were -20 and windchills ran between -60 & -70. Our vehicles wouldn't start. We had horses we had to get water to. We'd fill a 5 gallon water bottle with hot water from the tub and then haul it out to the barn. Because the cars wouldn't start, we had to carry it. It was cold by the time we got to the barn and was freezing as we poured it into their buckets. They'd drink it as fast as we'd pour it because otherwise, they got no water.
Hottest was in Raleigh NC in 1999. We had a full week of over 100 degree temps, with heat indexes over 115 degrees. We had a pool in the townhome complex we lived in and could hardly even have our heads above water without feeling like we would cook.
Coldest Day? Any February day at my college in New England where is was FREEZING. It was so cold that my eyes teared, causing my eyelashes to freeze together.
The hottest day I can remember was at Cheviot (north of Christchurch) in about the late 1990s. It was only in the mid 30s but came with a strong foehn wind that blew all day and all night, and the combination of dry wind, harsh sun and temperature was very unpleasant. My thermometer still showed 27C in the morning before sunrise. The concrete block walls of the budget motel where we stayed didn't really cool down and I remember thinking we should have just slept on the beach and saved a few dollars - Cheviot is near the epicentre of the recent earthquake, and a lot of those el cheapo concrete block walls, came tumbling down, so that motel might not be there much longer.
I've had more cold days than I care to remember, but none in particular really stand out. Some of the early days of my working career had a combination of freezing rain, followed by hard frost, exacerbated by spending the night without any shelter or food - not groovy!
