Frozen tundra

Aanyone got the stats on coldest weeks in NYC? And coldest 10 day stetches?

Still a cold pattern at the end of the ensembles.

If the Euro is right NYC shatters its longest streak below freezing.

Our last 6 days are running at 17.5 degrees. And today is going to make the 7 day average even colder. So we are putting up some solid numbers for coldest week this year.

So, with just 2 days left in the month I did a quick analysis to put into perspective how cold these first 2 months of the winter season have been across the Philly burbs of Chester County. This January is on pace to be a top 26 all-time cold January across 133 years of climate data since 1893. It is also our coldest first month of the year since 2014 It will also be a Top 20 all-time cold December/January start to winter. Plus, our coldest start to winter since 2010-11.

Models are impressively cold over the next ~2 weeks for the eastern half of the U.S.

On the flip side, mid-south/western half of U.S. should see pleasant temperatures.. 70s showing up for Dallas and Houston by first week of February lol.

so far, the warmest temperature since Dec 1st is 58 on 12/19/2025 when some were panicking...if February's max is not any higher this winter will make the list of coldest max for the winter...

Headed to Corpus for work the week of 2/9 so hoping to catch some "warmth" there because they even dipped below freezing there recently and that not all that common. BTW .. can we see snow in the air in Tampa Sat night and can MIA hit 32? Imagine some massive impacts on citrus industry.

Not awful

Now, why does this look familiar ?

LOL the ICON... my sister lives in SC (Charleston suburb) and asked me to check the models for her area.

All the models give her 2-4 except the UK and ICON lol

Today will be the fifth consecutive day where the temperature in New York City Central Park remains at freezing or below the day after at least a 10 inch snowfall.

The only other time that has happened in my lifetime was after the February 1995 snowstorm which dumped over 10 inches in New York City Central Park. The temperature stayed at freezing or below for five consecutive days afterwards from Feb 5-9 1995.

Tomorrow will be the sixth consecutive day and that will be a record for such an event in my lifetime and if it’s in my lifetime then it’s definitely in most of your lifetimes as well.

Double digit snowstorms are almost always followed by warmth. This is truly historic in that sense and who knows how long we are going to go. It’s a very impressive record especially when you consider how warm this decade has been.
