Who else is in the ice box club?
 
Not me. Just have 10 inches of ice that was 12 inches of snow a week ago and a balmy 26 degrees.

We might have that for a high tomorrow if we get lucky.
 
Warm up here tonight with 15 for a low but in a few days the forecast is for a week long string of -10 to -15F lows. I look up heating degree days for here at times on the weatherunderground and we are at 6680 for the heating season so far.

This winter is one that they'll compare future winters to for awhile. Schools all over the US are redoing their calendars to make up snow and cold days. In Minnesota they had to cancel a makeup day yesterday (Presidents Day) on account of a winter storm! Lol
 
Final temp -22f, NWS called for -5 they were only off by 17. It is hard to find a nearby weather station to gauge where I live though.
 
Looks like we might have the unofficial state low.

Did you go to wunderground.com and do a search for a local homeowner run station? What town are you in? I looked up Jackmanistan ME but your name sake town doesn't come up, lol.
 
Try Jackman, ME . . . Jackmanistan is just knickname . . . like Skowvegas for Skowhegan.

I found it now. There are 4 airports and 4 other weather stations to choose from in the area. The latitude of Jackman is nearly the same as Winter, WI where I live, just a .4 difference. But we get more arctic air up here and the Atlantic may help temper your temps some. After tomorrow's winter storm goes through we are in for a week of sub zero temps with a few nights colder than -15F forecasted.

I live next to a stream by the river. Once the stream freezes it turns into the cold air highway. We are 5-13 degs colder than the local $bank that is less than 1/4 mile away at the river.
 
Stay warm- eliminate clothing gaps.

I thought all the pictures from my modeling career had been destroyed. Where did you get them and how much $ to buy them back.

Maybe you should get a weather underground station.

What does mean temp anomaly mean? Departure from average normals? We are in for some cold temperatures up here for a extended time. Here's my screen shot of our forecast. Ouch![Hearth.com] -11f and falling!
