Nobody younger than 48 years old has experienced this type of cold in the month of February. At least for the CT coast that's the case. IMPRESSIVE AIR MASS!

Only an hour or so ago, it was part of the biggest scam in human history that they didn't lower the temperature for NYC...

now, "oh, by the way, they did lower the temperature..."

Remember, I wasn't making that connection, they didn't raise ALL the temperatures. That is really odd though, have to wonder

NYC with the warmest low north of Baltimore.

I am requesting a station inspection. No reason why they couldn't go lower.

Other locations had winds with a continued drop so why hasn't NYC dropped since 11pm last night?

National Weather Service : Observed Weather for past 3 Days : New York City, Central Park
I asked about this on a NYC weather blog on FB and their theory was that there were high level clouds that didn't happen "further north", but I'm not sure I see any evidence of that in the listing.

BTW... Nobody alive today saw a temperature reading in Erie, PA of below -17 in month of February... 141 yrs and never was...until this year. -18° tied the ALL TIME low which came in January.

Impressive air all around and yet NYC temp didn't budge for 9 hours. Ridiculous.

Low temps today.

Hartford's low happened in 2011 so left them out. Check out these other locations. It's been decades since seeing a temp we saw this morning in the month of February. Buffalo hasn't been -10° in February since 1979

Cam, when are we looking at another 8+ inch snowstorm? It looks like the ones for this week died out?

Didn't think about NYC from that angle, that it was still the coldest Feb. temperature since that 0 in 1979, so still impressed, good job digging that one out (and ditto for all those other locations).

The reason DC was 10-deg wasn't simply that it's further south but it was cloudy much of the night due to the incoming snowstorm (Baltimore was 5 because even though it's just 40 miles to the north it wasn't cloudy at midnight).

I'm curious what Hartford hit in Feb. 2011, I would've thought they would've been colder on that day in 1934 when even NYC hit -15, a lot of Northeast cities with records that far or beyond have their all time low period on that date (for NYC, Philly and I think Boston that month is even their coldest ever month, though a lot of places in the Northeast have January, 1977 competing with that). I thought Hartford's records go back to around 1900, even though BDL only goes back to the 1940s I think they count the previous weather station downtown in their records.

Buffalo had a period over 24 hours straight with subzero temps but because it wasn't a midnight to midnight period, it doesn't count as an "all subzero day" (they are 3 above right now, as I noted earlier in this thread, they were subzero yesterday all except midnight-1am. As also noted there, would've been their first all subzero day since Jan. 1994 and first such Feb. day since 1934!)
