On Pace for the Coldest Winter Ever?

Observation time: 1:20 pm

Precipitation: None
Sky conditions: Clear
Wind: 15 mph from the west
Temperature: 4 degrees

Today's weather map shows high pressure in command of most of the country, thanks to the cold polar air masses pushing their way down from Canada.


Today's Rant

After taking a couple of days off observation wise for my health and lack of interesting things to report, I am back today to say, you guessed it, not much has changed! Following last week's big snow/ice storm we have fallen back into our previous trend of clear days and below zero temperatures for lows. In fact, our current average temperature for this winter season ranks 3rd coldest all time, and if it continues we could even make a run at the COLDEST winter ever. Winds have been fairly constant from the west, skies have been clear, and roads have been slow to thaw.

Forecast for Tomorrow

With little to no change expected in regards to wind patterns tomorrow, we should see conditions similar to today. Lows should fall below zero, and daytime highs likely won't get above the single digits, while wind chill will keep it feeling much colder. Skies should be clear to mostly sunny as there is very little moisture left in the air.
