Wintry December 23-26 2022 Winter Weather and Cold

[TeachLesley]

3.9 just north of Hickory. Coldest night I can remember

 

[ForsythSnow]

3.9 was the floor here. Absolute personal coldest I've seen.

 

[D-Ray]

Got down to 4 this morning...have ice on the inside of some windows in the house

 

[bigstick10]

Bottomed out at 3.8 this morning at 7:22AM

 

[cyclogent]

had a low of 5 at the house this morning, following yesterday's low of 6.

10 degrees here with no power in southeast Durham. Stay warm folks!

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.

A big pot of water on the stove works wonders. Makes you feel warmer and keeps you from freeze-drying.

The only downside is when it's this cold, even double-paned windows fog up. I actually have ice cycles on the metal part at the bottom of my sliding glass door lol.

About 10 here but temperature didn't drop for some reason last night and it was clear outside. Very interesting

15 at the house this morning.

12 at the airport with a wind chill of -3.

Heat pump has been on for probably the last 12+ hours.

 

[EastmanGAWX]

I had a high of 34 yesterday and a balmy low of 13 this morning, the high was the coldest for my location since 1-29-14 and the low was the coldest temperature since February 1996.

So no power still up here in Cutler, ME! Temps aren't as cold as yall are, around 17 but they've been dropping since I got up at 7am. Light snow falling. No generator, wood stove, or pellet stove and the house downstairs is 52 and upstairs is 56. The association doesnt allow wood stoves or pellet stoves. Tossed perishable food in the back porch. Fingers crossed everyone's power comes back on soon and that the workers are safe!

 

[BIG FROSTY]

Bottomed out at 2.1 this beautiful Christmas eve!

Heat pump has been on for probably the last 12+ hours.

Does a heat pump even work when it's this cold?

 

[ForsythSnow]

So it also turns out through some absolutely unknown means we got a light dusting of snow? It's on the cars, in the road, rooves, grass, everywhere. Nice surprise after I looked out the window.

Wow. Lake effect maybe?

 

[Metwannabe]

10.0 this morning, what a sham I was promised single digits by the long range HRRRRRRR ?

 

[ForsythSnow]

Wow. Lake effect maybe?

My best guess would be that but I'm a bit too far north for Allatoona and west of Lanier with the winds not due E. Could also be some river effect or something. I'm interested if anyone around here also saw this.

Don't knock the HRRR model, best short range model out there and it's not even close?

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.

They’re still without power an hour later. It’s now 9 degrees outside.

A WAG is a streamer from a combination of river effects from the Tennesse river in Alabama combined with some moisture sublimated from the snowpack to the NW. In any case, that is a nice surprise!
