Mrs.Cicero Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I am officially impressed. The windchill hit -40. Also, I am glad that I bought fruit and fir trees that are supposed to survive in zone 4 (we are zone 5) - the cut off is -20 degrees for zone 5 and -30 for zone 4. The thuja is prone to windburn, though, so we'll see what they look like come spring. If we get a spring... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 13 hours ago, Borg warner said: The oceans warm the air? So why is it that last year they were experiencing record low temperatures on the east coast? Here's an article from the associated press Sun 7 Jan 2018: The blast of arctic air that has engulfed portions of the US east coast broke more cold temperature records in several cities on Sunday, although a warm-up was forecast for Monday. The National Weather Service (NWS) said the temperature in Worcester, Massachusetts, fell to -9F (-23C) on Sunday, breaking a record of -5F (-21C) set in 1942. In Providence, Rhode Island, temperatures fell to -3 (-19C), breaking a record low of -1 (-18F) set in 1912. And in Hartford, Connecticut, the temperature dropped to -9F, smashing the previous record of 1F (-17C), also set in 1912. Boston tied a low-temperature record set more than a century ago, in 1896, of -2F (-19C). Patrick Burke, a meteorologist with the NWS Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland, said the wind would not be as punishing on Sunday as it was on Friday and Saturday. “With the wind dying down it will probably feel significantly better although many of these areas will still be below freezing,” Burke said. Many north-east residents endured jaw-clenching temperatures and brutal wind chills on Saturday as clean-up continued from the storm that dropped as much as 18in (46cm) of snow in some places on Thursday. Aviation crews at South Carolina’s busiest airport, Charleston International, struggled to clear runways of snow and ice so they could be reopened. In New England water main breaks, frozen hydrants and burst pipes created new problems for officials. Boston was wrangling with a shortage of plumbers as the weather wreaked havoc on pipes that froze and cracked, Mayor Marty Walsh reported. And this year, colder than normal temperature are predicted for the east coast once again, but not the West coast. Take a rough average from East Coast to West Coast and it's normal.

A couple times, we've just been sitting there watching tv, several days after the cold snap and heard "bang". "WTF was that?" In Texas, no one even thinks about the pipes freezing until you hear "bang". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Starting by noon today, the temps will be above freezing, and they will stay that way for three days. I think we are going from knee-deep snow, to knee-deep mud... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
