Looks like Ashland hit -15 a couple times that month. The coldest January on record was 1977 it looks like, head and shoulders above any other month for cold. The late 1970s were totally insane for winter cold. We just got a taste of it in our region in 1976-77 and 1977-78, and then of course felt it pretty full on in 1978-79. But the Eastern 2/3 of the country had back to back to back really historic winters. You can see why there was a lot of media hoopla about global cooling back then.

Yeah, I just noticed 78 and 79' were really cold out there too. But it is interesting how much colder our winters were in the 50s-60s compared to now, and looking at their stats the past 15 years, they have had several months that were colder than any month recorded when my Dad was growing up there during that time. It seems like their winters were more consistently cool, but in terms of extremes there hasn't been the same kind of difference we have seen here. February seems to have performed pretty well out there the past 15 years or so too.

The climate system seems anxious to go in that direction, though. This winter reminds me of 2008/09, even with the QBO mismatch. The anomalous warmth in the subtropical strat is peculiar, to say the least. Obviously there’s been some aerosol injection up there (well before the Tonga eruption, even). Remains to be seen how equatorial strat responds to the eruption, but QBO alone is favorable for MJO transits thru the WPAC in the F/M/A (and corresponding WWBs). 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLE is only running a 2.4 departure basically because the 1991-2020 averages are already so mild, but if you compare it to the long term period of record average its more than 4F above normal. I haven't looked at what our departure is this month in the foothills, but since the inversions have been shallow its probably 4-5F at least. 1 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

Timmy Supercell Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Amazing how many weeks of dry we had in 13-14. I saw something I posted 1/12/2014, "had my 2nd measurable snow so far the whole winter" after 2.5" fell the previous night. The first one was a quick 5" on 12/6, then didn't snow the rest of December. IMO that was a waste of cold, but impressive statistically.
