Weave Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I don't believe I have experienced temps as cold as we've got this morning. -11 in the driveway according to the car temp display. Hit a cold spot on the commute that read -16. I've seen -15 on the display just a couple times over the years while driving in to work, but -16 is a new low I've seen. And this AM was the first time I've ever seen negative double digits for my entire commute. It is freaking cold out there this morning.

That Aud Smell Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Metro Buffalo was a solid -1 when I left the house. Abnormally cold for the lakeside city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 28 in Memphis, TN. I did see a single digit 9 on my car thermometer for the first time in Memphis a couple of weeks ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) 0. I had to wait for the frost on the inside of the car to dissipate before driving to work. Also, I think that weather.com is running out of capital letters and certain punctuation marks. Edited February 12, 2014 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Good Luck to you as well. :thumbsup: Hoping to avoid ice and any potential power outage, although I'll have the generator ready just in case.

Claude_Verret Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 24 here outside of Raleigh...but a winter apocalypse is on the way. Expecting 1-3" today followed by potential damaging ice storm later today into tonight. I'm working from home already today because they closed my kids school in anticipation of the storm and if we get anything close to what they are predicting everything will be shut down tomorrow too.

SwampD Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 It was 11 when I woke up. It's 14 now. I'm just wondering why it says the low for today will be 23. Um,… it's 14 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks, Good Luck to you as well. :thumbsup: Hoping to avoid ice and any potential power outage, although I'll have the generator ready just in case. Power was out for me for only 36 hours last week from Wednesday to Thursday evening. Turns out what I though was a mostly decorative gas fireplace in my house managed to keep the house between 58 and 62 despite it being in the teens outside, score. I'm even more surprised that with the power out, the fireplace turned on with the switch; I'm guessing it has a little stored power in there or something. I didn't dare turn it off in case that was a one-time thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 -18 in Bradford (in town, not airport) as an overnight low, and only -6 now. I say that grudgingly because, like snow in the city of Buffalo, we've earned a somewhat unfair reputation for being the coldest spot in the region. Normally we're right in line with a lot of places like Kane and Smethport, PA, and Wellsville, NY (think twin tiers). But for whatever reason, it was much colder here last night than almost every place else I checked. Clear skies, valley topography? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 It was -2 when I left my apartment in west henrietta, and when I was done getting my oil changed in Victor, I walked into the sun and thought "damn, it's warming up quick!". Checked the temp gauge... -4. Oh. Was a scorching 5 when I got to work in Pittsford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold air sinks so if you are in a low spot you'll be colder than the surrounding area. Someone reported in to WBEN this AM that Wellsville saw -23. Day-umm.

MattPie Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 A valley will do it. Cold air sinks so if you are in a low spot you'll be colder than the surrounding area. This is one of the really cool (no pun intended) things about riding a motorcycle (when it's a little warmer). You be riding along in the evening and you'll dip into a little valley and it'll get noticeably cooler, and when you come back out it warms back up. It doesn't even have to be a big valley, just a little dip in the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 NYC seems like it's generally about 10 degrees warmer than WNY. It was 12 degrees today for the 7:30 AM dog walk. Global warming, my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) 83° Most likely going to break another record today. Edited February 12, 2014 by JJFIVEOH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Global warming, my ass. 83° Most likely going to break another record today. :P Edit: and I don't know if you were joking or not, but this no more disproves global warming than the record hot temperatures in Australia, over 120 degrees for very long stretches, proves it.
