Remember all those "WOW" posts for the airmass for end of this month into February? No more. It's now centered over the country . Eastern U.S getting screwed again? No torch pattern though.
Look at the data for Hartford. Precip moves in and it warms up. Gets very cold still end of month into February.
That's cute. You guys get near record cold AGAIN yet you're still complaining.
NYC (and other areas) have more rain totals than snow in inches this winter (Dec-Jan):
Dec: 6.51" Rain. Trace Snow.
Jan: 1.83" Rain. 0.7" Snow 8.34 inches of Rain vs Less than 1 inch of snow.
And more rain on the way next 24hrs.
Bridgeport
Dec: 5.91" Rain. 0.5" Snow.
Jan: 2.56" Rain. 1.2" Snow 8.47 inches of Rain vs 1.7 inches of snow.
And more rain on the way next 24hrs.
You guys have had six straight years of above average snowfall. I wouldn't be complaining if that happened over here. Has all the cold/snow this decade altered you east coasters perception of average?

Did you not see the part about it lasting 1 day and then rain moving in? lol. Whats the point of record cold if it wont last? Flow is too fast!

Do you realize we're not just slightly below normal? In past 71 yrs Only 3 years had less snow in Demember and January than this year. The complain is legit. It usually snows by now. Lets see if February can make up for it!

I didn't want to post a temp map since its still 7 days out but here are the max temps for next Wednesday per Euro12z
Yeah, thats when old drained out batteries have a hard time. Otherwise the batteries they sell up here can handle the cold and the alternators charge it up when we drive... Mine was 3 yrs old. Low end of the 3-5yr life span.
Do you guys look for cold cranking amps down there?
I have a 500CCA. Its the number of amps a 12-volt battery can deliver at 0°F for 30 seconds while maintaining a voltage of at least 7.2 volts
Not really. I have the same battery when I bought my truck. It's been a little over 4 years and it's still starting fine. I figure it may die in the next year or so.
My riding lawn mower battery just died in November. I bought the riding lawnmower in 2014 as well.
I normally start the lawnmower every other week even if I don't have to mow just to make sure the battery is okay but with all the rain we had in October there was about 3 weeks I couldn't start it and that's when it died.
I got a higher amperage battery this time (only a few bucks more so worth it) and also a portable battery charger which is plugged in nonstop now. I'll see if that helps for the battery life.
I've found that batteries down here tend to die in either humid weather or extreme cold. Since we don't get extreme cold here a lot it's the humidity you have to worry about. The batteries do fine in hot dry weather it's just dry cold and humid heat they don't like.
