Made it to -20F on my backyard thermometer last night. Still -15F now with a WC of -34. This is one of the top 15 longest stretches below zero in the last 50 years. d**n impressive.
Too bad the Bears and Vikings don’t play outside today.
I heard that Int'l Falls had the coldest last full week of any year on record....now that's impressive! Stack a few more yards of wood...your gonna need it!

It’s funny you say that. I chopped some wood yesterday from a limb that fell in Sept. It’s some red oak about 14” in diameter. A single chop with the axe and it was split. Fireplace and furnace doing overtime. The gas bill is gonna suck hardcore. I’m prepared for $300 plus this month.

The expansive winter headlines across the eastern CONUS is truly remarkable. I don't think in '13/'14 we had WC advisories down to the Gulf Coast!

Hit -17F about 1:30 am before clouds rolled in. Getting some light snow now even, so may add to my 24.1" total for the month which will be about 240% of avg! December doesn't get much better around here for combined cold-n-snow, tho this region has had at least four (2000, 2008, 2016, 2017) to balance a rash of total duds during the same period.

Must be a huge place you have! My budget gas bill went up to 64$ a month this autumn even tho I had a surplus from the mild winter last year. Glad I got on the plan, always dreaded the 200% util bills right on the heels of holiday expenses!

Added 0.1" here today. Was a balmy 11 degs for many hrs yet with low sun angle the dusting stayed put all day. I have a solid 6" depth and looking around SWMI the deepest snow I found was 20" in Oceana county, tho Ludington is in GRR's region, for some reason they aren't a recording site for NOAA data purposes. That's the one site that could rival or be in the lead within the CWA for GRR.

Wife makes me keep it at 67 for my 3 and 20 month oldsI have 2800 sq ft but it’s more my 15 month old that keeps my heating cost high. Keeping the thermostat set at 66 at night really sucks on natural gas. But, a warm baby is a happy baby so it’s all good.

Posted 01 January 2018 - 07:26 AM
Apparently my posts are garbage
December at the Lincoln airport began like late October and ended like Santa brought the North Pole down with him. The first 20 days of December were nice if you are a normal civilian, but bad if you are a weather enthusiast. The only recorded precipitation was a trace when a fast snow squall moved through the area on the 6th, a couple more traces of rain on the 11th and 14th, and freezing rain, along with the first measurable snow of .1" on the 17th. Then on the 21st, the lid dropped off and Winter coincidentally began the same day as astronomical Winter started, with below normal temperatures to end the month after the 22nd. It was a white Christmas for Lincoln after amounts ranging from 3-5" fell across the city, and the cold temperatures helped to preserve that snowpack for the rest of the month. To end the month, some of the coldest air we have seen here since the 90s came down, with lows below -10 on three days, the 26th, 27th and 31st.
The month finished with an average mean temperature of 27.9*, which is 1.1* above the average temperature of 26.8* for December. The highest temperature observed for the month was 63, which was observed on the 3rd and the 4th. The highest minimum temperature observed was 35, which occurred on the 14th. The lowest temperature recorded was -17 on the 27th, and the lowest maximum temperature was 0 on the 31st. One temperature record was set, the low of -17 on the 27th beat the old record of -15, which was set in 1924. 0.38" of precipitation fell, which is 0.57" below the normal December precipitation amount of 0.95". 4.3" of snow fell, which is 1.6" below the normal December snowfall of 5.9". No precipitation records were set or tied this month.

He commented that these were even better than what we saw in 2014
That's awesome!! I'm guessing that's the refraction of light through the ice particles in the atmosphere?
