February to date is 13°F. Usually talking about monthly averages this early is pointless, but the next week will bring the average down further. January averaged 19.4°F. This will be one of the few Februrarys that is significantly colder than the January it followed. Won't break a record but will be the coldest February in a long time. January 2009 was cold, will it beat that?
I'm not sure if it will be a record cold February, but it's already crushing snow records only 10 days in. There could be another 1/2 dozen storms before March. It's the pain train for the northeast.
It said the warmest the 850mb temp goes after Thursday is 13°F/-10C over this area till next Friday. Meaning the cold is not just 1 days worth!
It's not mid winter anymore. Will my Dogs intense shedding 3 weeks ago be right?
That had to be a bad run. Here's Danbury, CT data in F°.
Holy crap! -21F in NYC is that even possible? anyway...What does that run show for south florida and could you please tell me how to find maps like that? I cant seem to ever find them thanks!

EDIT: Just saw it was 850mb temp... oops
Yeah, I was gonna say no that's at 4500' but still, the airmass is one you would think to find heading into middle of January. We'll see.
This is from a paid model site. Give me a few hrs, I'll post the SouthEast 850mb temp map like that and data for Orlando maybe.
Our met office says -17C at Chicago and -15C for Bridgeport and NYC.
Should be much colder based on those 850's? But the FMI just started global observations, so what do they know? And they don't use GFS but EC/HIRLAM HARMONIE.
Note 60°F reaching almost up to the Canadian border on the west coast, while central Florida barely makes it past 60°F.
It's been up to 75 here in Denver the past week. Very nice weather this month, but I have a feeling the cold will "flop" back down into the West soon and end it all
Not really funny. It's a bit of a common setup for the west and east to be opposite.
Yes, I've noticed that. The jet stream dips in the east and out west, we're way above normal. then the dip "equalizes" things, plunges down into the southwest, and the NE gets to warm up. Sometimes Denver is right in the middle of that, with crazy temperature fluctuations back and forth from Arctic cold to above normal temps from one day to the next.

4F still the lowest temp so far here at 60N.
5F/-15C for NYC seems fair. Yeah those 850s suggest a tad below 0F for NYC mins but as we know we cant use 1 run for a forecast. Interesting they don't use the GFS. I wonder if they use the UK and Canadian models.
Your low temp is fascinating and crazy to see. My low so far is 4°F as well happened 4 days ago.
As promised, Euro12z SouthEast 850mb temps Monday morning.. It's getting harder and harder to push that freezing line further south. but its not looking too too warm..
