12 degrees at 3pm. Coldest mid-afternoon temps here since February 1996. But "officially" today's high will be logged as 48 since that was the temp at midnight just as the front was about to move in. Feels like we're getting robbed out of a truly cold day lol.
What a graphic

It's 11 at 2:15 pm with a wind-chill of 1. I keep stepping outside momentarily and imagining myself in a Siberian gulag. Perhaps that's a better fait than what is soon to invade my humble abode...
-10 at the summit of Sugar Mountain currently. Banner Elk sitting at -1 with a forecast low of -5. 1989 holds the record on this date and they hit -18 on the thermometer the very next night! Any of you old farts remember that outbreak?

Wait 1989 makes you a old fart? I remember 89 well, hit below zero Christmas Eve night with deep snowpack.....in eastern NC.
I was barely walking in 89’. That answers the question though. Snowpack ??

9 degrees here in jackson. Don't think 15 will happen today. These temps are normal up north during winter but not here??
Down to 29, steady drop all afternoon

La niñas will give you big contrasts in weather like we are seeing. El Niño isn't so much like that
Yeah, you should have seen that 6" of snow in New Orleans in 63. Kids lol.

Well only in the eastern part of the state if I recall correctly....
Also WTF happened to this.....why it link to nothing now....
Denver dropped to -24° yesterday — the coldest recorded temperature in the city in exactly 32 years.
I’ve hovered at 18 all day after 12 earlier. Been awhile since we’ve had a day like this. It’s funny how much that little downslope from lookout warms me compared to those just west. I went out in my duck gear and worked on my kids play set and it was glorious.

That snowpack made a huge difference. We never got below the low teens back here from that cold snap. Wilmington got down to 0 that Sunday night because of the snow. Then the entire pattern changed and did not switch back. Rest of winter was warm and later very wet.Well only in the eastern part of the state if I recall correctly....

Sugar Mountain Live cam is looking raw. I went skiing up there in the late 2000’s with negative wind chills and it is not pleasant. Skiing with active frostbite warnings is not on my to do’s list again any time soon. We were spitting on the condo sliding glass door up at Oma’s meadow and it was freezing on contact.
Not really a cliff dive but a nice early winter's day nonetheless. Certainly better than a torch in the shorts.
That NAM ????
