I have a couple thermometers, one is digital and got down to 5 and the old time mercury thermometer that got down to 3 here. -13 WC as well. If only we had some snow on the ground
The glass on my storm door is frozen solid.
Looks like some busting to the low side.
Banner Elk had a forecast low of -5 but it looks like they made it to -9. Sugar Summit down to -16. (Overnight low was -18)

Busted big on our forecast this morning. We had a low forecast of 11 but only managed 18.

The lowest temperature recorded here at my location south of Raleigh was 11.3 degrees. This is easily the coldest air for the Christmas holidays I can remember since the 1983 and 1989 Artic outbreaks in Central North Carolina. The difference between the two years mentioned was that in 1989 there was the storm that brought blizzard conditions to the costal counties of Eastern North Carolina and measurable snow inland as far as Johnston County while the 1983 event was a dry cold much like this event.
A lot of stations up there in the -10’s.
Bottomed out at 8 here.
Water still running
Pool pump still running
Gas fireplace and stove still cranked
It's time to walk the dog

My father in law is without power in Goldsboro as of this moment. A power outage is bad news anytime in today's world but even worse in sub freezing temperatures. It brings back memories of the December 2002 ice storm in Central North Carolina for me. I hope you kindred get their power restored soon.
Walked the dogs they wanted none of it lol. Holes in the yard looked like that above pic I don’t understand why, sure somebody does. Hand measured single digits barely with nearby PWS at 8-9F
Frost heaving

City of Charlotte will be having rolling black outs this morning to prevent major long term damage. Looks like at lease half a million homes out in both NC/SC through Duke Energy not sure about Energy United and others.

6 degrees this morning in Lewisville. My parents lost power a little while ago, called and Duke energy said they are performing rolling blackouts that will last 15-30 minutes or longer.

11 this morning with a wind chill of -3. Water in the cove here has frozen over along the shoreline as far as the eye can see.

Never got power back last night. Called Duke energy for an update and they said we have no information, Google red cross if your cold. My response was less than cheerful. We left though so in a warmer place for now. House was down in the 40s when I left but had kept a room warm for sleeping.

I'm tempted to run over to the cold spot by the train tracks to see if it is doing its usual cold spot stuff
Same here in Summerfield, NC. Lowest my Tempest has seen since I installed in 2020.

5.7 was the low and still have water. I feel like I’ve been walking in a desert with the heat running so much. I can’t drink enough to not feel parched.
