First 100F Day for 2019

Good lard..

Now that is what I call cold.

How does that chevy bolt do in that kind of cold,does it keep the
windows defrosted?

How close to Embarrass are you? Record low there in 1996 was -64F! -13F here this AM. Plenty cold for me!

-31 for me this morning, next week looks worse. May not get above zero for the next week

Whenever I feel like Downeast Maine is too cold, I remember I don't live in Minnesota and it's not that bad here.

Wasn't to many years ago I was up snowmobiling west of Duluth near Barnum. We stayed in a uninsulated one room remote cabin for a week. Never even got close to zero. It was a record setting stretch of below zero weather at the time. Only had a woodstove and it could not maintain anything over 50F. No electricity either. It was great fun!
On the other hand tomorrow I fly to Key Largo to disappear until mid Feb. Sunburn time

Dang... I thought a low of 27 was cold here! -30?? That’s nuts!

Didn't quite hit 100f myself...-11f outside now and 75 in the stove room. Had it up to 79 in there earlier but it was only -1 then. Supposed to get to -16 by morning here in central Wisconsin, hoping it doesn't get much colder than that!

I think it’s going to be colder tonight than forecasted it’s already -37f.

About 140 miles to the SW. Embarass has an enviable reputation. In 1996 my thermometer bottomed out at -49F three nights in a row. Our actual low was somewhere in the -50's. Those were the good old days.

Yes they were. Snowmobiling was big back then. And good snow.

Only 71 degree difference here in SE Michigan. It’s a balmy -1 outside this morning.

One night last winter was -30F and inside the house I think it was a night that i had an extremely high draft and the furnace decided to burn extra hot and it was almost 80 in here so that's a 110 degree difference. That was honestly the coldest temperature I had ever experienced in my 36 years!

Wow - and that's impressive to have inside 100 degrees warmer.

Got to (only) -4 here last week. We had snow/freezing rain then a sudden drop in temperature with wind. Last Sunday night heard a bang, I assumed a large branch hit the house, went outside twice to look around - nothing. Then found out there were many reports of big booms/bangs - they were from 'frost quakes'. Never experienced one in the almost 34 years I've been here.

WOW.....baby it's cold outside!

That was the year my car overheated.
Ice in the radiator. Mixture set for -40f wasn't quite good enough.

If you don’t mind sharing what town are you close too?

-40F this morning, but a warm-up is in the forecast. We may break 0F on Friday. Last time temps were into the -40F range was 1996, if my memory is correct. Brief periods of -30'sF are common in winter, longer periods in the -20'sF are fairly common, and extended periods in the 0F-20F are quite common in my MN location.

to keep things consistent in this thread, it's -49*F here in NW Ontario this morning - I know you fellows in MN are under the same Arctic Air that we are. looks like some relief is on the way this weekend though - supposed to get up to around 5*F on the weekend, and then about a foot of snow over 48 hours. i'll take the snow! pretty done with this cold snap.

Well I wish I had your forecast for the weekend. Here in south east Michigan it will be creeping into the 40’s and rainy. So bizarre how it can go from -16 w/ -30 wind chill to 40 and rain within a couple days. Snow is money falling from the sky for me. Rain is just annoying.

My main weather station bottomed out at -31. So I used my backup outside sensor. Had to jump wife’s Honda with my dodge pickup and a booster pack. On the plus side the X27 can split ash like a hot knife through butter when it’s this cold
