SAV just experienced its coldest 7 consecutive days in 41 years, its first below 32 F week in 28 years, and a tie for its 8th coldest since records started in the 1870s! The longevity of this cold is one for the ages.

10 SAV weeks at or colder than 32 F starting from coldest:

- 1/1886
- 12/1917-1/1918
- 2/1895
- 1/1977 & 1/1970 tied
- 2/1899
- 1/1887
- 1/2018 & 12/1901 tied
- 12/1989

Only 4 of these 10 weeks have occurred during the last 100 years! By the way, the snow & ice remain largely intact in shady areas and we're over 4 days after it ended! I still have one icicle!

1/8/16 edit: Note that this long duration cold occurred despite a +NAO. It was supported by a +PNA/-EPO combo as well as a -AO when averaged out.
