Been dropping about 0.2 every 20 or so minutes and am sitting at 7.5 right now. Low is 6 so that's pretty reasonable given how it'll likely level off.
Sitting at 5.4F

That's the most impressive thing I have heard about this outbreak so far......hard to believe that the '85 outbreak wasn't lower. I think they had an actual air temp of -34F. Don't know how low the wind-chill was for that one.

So many crazy numbers this past few days but let's slow down and register this. -58F in frigging NC!
You younger guys need to appreciate this event for what it is and that is historic.

My heat pump went off a while ago the system was chugging along on aux heat ($$$). Reset the breakers and heat pump is running again!
Feel bad for all ya'll without power tonight. Stay warm!! We're still holding at -12 C, not sure of wind chill but it is COLD out there right now.

Had to drive from Jasper, GA to Dahlonega and back this evening. Left around 10:30 and returned about 20 minutes ago. On return trip west of Dawsonville started noticing fine snow …at first thought just dust because there are several marble quarries on the route. It picked up. Temp on car ranged from 4 to 2.
Here is a pic … totally surprised. First time in my life to see snow at that temp. And not really forecasted.

25-26 now here. Below freezing as far south as Ocala in FL and we still have several more hours of darkness left. Teens well into south GA. This is mighty impressive without any snow cover in most areas.
I don’t think I’ll hit single digits. I think 10 is the ceiling. Sitting at 12 now and I think we’re stuck here.
Still falling at 3.2F
8/-3 now and the heat pumps running constantly and cycling the aux gas furnaces. The crawl space is still holding at 48 so we should be good for the night.
Stay warm.
Stay warm.
8 here. Feels like -7. Will remember this!

10.5 here at 2:15. Not bad considering my lowest low last winter was 22. I was going to freeze some bubbles but the mix is still full of tiny bubbles from stirring, so I can't get a big one started. Guess I'll play tomorrow night it the wind is down.

Gonna sound like an old man now…to experience the 80’s and early 90’s in the Upstate of SC this extreme happened almost every year, to the point where it was expected. Along with the anticipated frigid temps there was a validated snowfall threat and occurrence. It is very frustrating as a snow lover to appreciate these cold temps nowadays, because we just can’t seem to couple them with moisture…sigh…rant over.
Old man we all want snow.

Greensboro is 5 degrees with a wind chill of -12. This is about 3 degrees lower than forecast. I was a little surprised that we busted low with such an extreme forecast. This is the second coldest I ever remember it being here. Impressive.

I prefer the Southern Appalachian's as well. Parts get over 120' Rain a year... then there's the snow and the cold... It's like being in another world
My Weather Channel says 7. I tried to do the bubbles too but couldn't get a big one started. It's COLD! AMAZE BALLS!

I’ve noticed an uptick in power outages across NC the past couple hours. Appears to more grid overload than wind related.
8 here in Concord.. a few degrees colder then forecasted. That artic air finally made its way through the high country..
