-30c this morning, who can beat that 😕

Ben

I can come close, Kingston hit -29C last night. That means that my garden must have hit at or below -30C, which will be the coldest in 12 years. Yikes. That's -22F, a zone 4b temperature. And here I was getting ready to finally admit to zone 5a status:(

Toronto hit a hot and humid -20C last night. It's downright tropical. -4F, zone 6b.

Yep -19C here this morning....BRRRR I figure anything below -15C is a crap shoot anyways.
Inside the Palmetto box was -9.2C at 7am, by noon is was reading -2.5C.

Maybe by spring, I'll convert my Agave into a Tequila, I may enjoy it better then it looks now... 😥

Ben

And I was angry about my -17C/2F this morning! 😉

Sigh. I was hoping the worst was behind me. but I got down to -26C last night (again) There's been 24 15 minute intervals of -26 since I started logging my very localized weather a month ago. 🙁 I was supposed to start getting above 0 by next Tuesday but it's been pushed out until at least next Friday. I haven't been inside the palm huts for nearly a month hopefully they don't hate me too much...

-26C last night (again)

Holy moly. 😯

Sorry guys I have you beat...

Dec 2013 average high low and average daily median

-11.6 -23.6 -17.7 Extreme low -40C (at airport)

Jan 2014

-11.6 -24.4 -18.0 Extreme low -39C

So far feb

-12.0 - 26.4L* -19.2 Extreme low -30C

New years eve was -55C with the wind. The last week of december/beginning of january were brutal. Coldest december in 20 years. Oddly enough nothing really record breaking. A much more " average" winter for up here. Everything is getting a good test. Best part is there is about 5 feet of snow. My yard is about 5C warmer or more then what the airport reads.

Not a contest im happy winning

Yeap, me too...-26c last night...i count at least 20 nights Under the -20c...never seen that before. Usually its 4-6 nights 😯 ....

But next week it will warm up over the freezing point 😀 ...

Ben

The entire second half of 2013 has been 'below seasonal' in the East. Every forecast or report since August, has indicated that it's been below seasonal averages. Besides since Early 2013, the winter was clinging on with a cold, damp and flooding Spring. Since then it was all down hill with floods throughout the world (including our friends in the UK this year).
Let's hope that it's out of the system and we skip over Spring this year and go right to Summer 😉
Any El Nino sightings??

A weak el Nino is apparently starting up slowly soon.
