Love your posts. Cool stats. Your temps and records are similar or colder than mine here. Interesting.

Two months of Arctic/Polar air over the U.S. would probably do much more harm than good.

We could be in the mid 60s on Saturday. lol.

I assume it is a record low for the date and not the coldest ever.

We went down to 4F in Philly. We went down to 3F in 2005.

This very cold air seems to have shot straight for the South. We could have gotten much colder given how cold it was in the Midwest. We have gone below 4F in 1996 also and of course into the negatives in the 80's.

This is probably why record lows in the south aren't too different from the coastal Northeast — the arctic air outbreak are usually focused on the middle of the country. Are there any exceptions, as in when the coldest temperatures were seen in the Northeast (interior of course) rather than the Midwest?

I've lived through 2 feet in 24hrs. Nearby town here with 3 feet in 24hrs! I lived through 5 feet in 4 weeks.

I never experienced 4-5 feet of snow in 3 days. Crazy.
