I expected the year-round temps to be very cold, but the summer readings into the -20F's still surprised me. And those weren't fluky events, either. A lot of days were well below zero in the middle...

We all know there are some places out there with worse weather than MWO, but usually they don't have enough observations for us to make any real comparison.

However, I've been in contact with some...

Looks like temps in the NE were warmer than Friday, but for places farther south, they were colder than Friday. Doubt we set any records like we did on Friday...

Middle Sink hit -62F on 1/30/2002. Probably too dangerous to get into Peter Sinks, although it probably was still a few degrees short of -70F.

Nope; I've been working with a meteorologist in the area to try to get one put in, but nothing yet. One was there for a few months as part of a study a few years back, but it was only there for a...

It's fun to watch the readings from Westhampton. As soon as the winds increase, the temp shoots up. When it calms down, it drops suddenly. Textbook cold-air drainage/radiational cooling situation....

...someone asked earlier about Pittsburg, NH. It came in at -35F.

Forecasts are calling for some places in Maine to be just as cold on Saturday morning as they were on Friday. I wonder if we'll see another spot come close to -50F? It'd be amazing for the state...

Lowest I can find for IL is still just short of their record. Maybe some more readings will come in:

-35.4F near Mt. Carroll
-35.0F at Mt. Carroll itself
-32F at Dixon

NWS has put out a...

To measure wind chill, it must be able to measure wind speed. If it doesn't measure wind speed with an anemometer, it can't do wind chill.

Here's a list of the coldest readings I've found from...

First Connecticut Lake hit -31F. The coldest from the NE that I could find was -38 at Big Black River, ME, in Aroostook Co., although I don't think there's a population center nearby. Coldest from...

We've already seen this some in MN. The forecasts for even the coldest spots (Embarrass, Babbitt, Ely, International Falls) have been around -30F for the last two days. Granted, the point forecasts...

Looks like readings are still taken at Stillwater Reservoir and Old Forge but the Old Forge ones rarely get called into the NWS, so we may not know their readings til the send in their report and it...

Do you know of any particular spots that might be of interest? I looked up the coldest readings from NY to see if any spots showed up consistently. I'm not sure if they still make readings at some...

Some of the primary forecasts are starting to adjust. weather.com is showing a low of 6F, with accuweather showing a low of 7 and another of 6.

The NOAA map currently goes through next Thurs...

Yea, a lot of the mainstream forecasts show cold air--but nothing even close to record temps.

Still, it'd be amazing if this kind of air actually comes down. I'd really look forward to seeing...

In his most recent blog post (http://www.accuweather.com/mt-news-blogs.asp?partner=accuweather&blog=weathermatrix), Jesse Ferrell at accuweather.com talks about how some models are showing a pretty...

Thanks. Too bad it fell short, since it's pretty rare.

I have the following as the known times it's happened at MWO, from midnight to midnight:

Sorry, I meant 24hr periods around this most-recent wind event. Like perhaps 11pm-11pm had 2400 miles of movement? Or some other stretch. I'm not sure how many readings compile the daily average,...

I noticed that the average wind speed for midnight to midnight for 1/1/2009 was 93.2mph. Was there any 24-hour time period where the average wind speed was 100mph or higher? Obviously there are a...

The lowest I've come across for the summit is from Jan 2004:

Yes, their historical data has shown several days when their relative humidity reached 1%. And just this month, they've had five different days when they hit 5% humidity or lower. Their wind data...

maybe you can tell from this photo: http://www.wmrs.edu/facilities/BAR/SUMMIT/default.htm . looks like the anemometer stuff is on the left mast.
