 Low Temperature Recorded Around Sandy Hook Bay, NJ on Sunday, January 7, 2018 The cold snap around New York Harbor continues, at least for one more day. Many people woke up to bone-chilling temperatures in the low single digits or below zero. According to US National Weather Service in Upton, NY, record low temperatures were set at several locations around the New York metropolitan region: Kennedy Airport, NY: 4 degrees F, which breaks the previous record of 6 set in 2014. Islip Airport, NY: 2 degrees F, which breaks the previous record of 6 set in 1968. Bridgeport, CT: -1 degrees F, which breaks the previous record of 7 set in 1988. This is on top of record low temperatures set at the start of the New Year: STATION: NEW RECORD/OLD RECORD (YEAR OF OLD RECORD): LGA: 8/11 (1963) JFK: 7/9 (1968) EWR: 6/11 (1997) BDR: 2/5 (1963) ISP: 6/8 (1968) Ice on the move out of the Shrewsbury River and into Sandy Hook Bay, NJ It was the second-ever coldest ball drop on New Year’s Eve in Times Square. The temperature was only 10° F. The only New Year’s Eve colder on record in Times Square came in 1907, when it was just 1°. Below freezing temperatures began on Tuesday, December 26, 2017 when the recorded high in Central Park was 28 degrees F. Since then, temperatures have not been above freezing, and some days the temperature struggled to get above 20 degrees F. Wind chill values often came with with warnings of possible frostbite and hypothermia for people and pets going outdoors. But it looks like the bottom has finally been reached. The forecast going forward next week was far more encouraging. Monday is expected to be the first day with above freezing temperatures in 2018. Later in the week, temperatures are expected to climb into the 40s — a relatively balmy feeling for sure after nearly two weeks of arctic weather.  It looks like the Farmer's Almanac called this winter season correctly, at least so far!

Winter is one of the seasons I do really love. I usually feel peaceful during this season. The cold atmosphere is one of the things that I love about this. During this time, I am also able to think properly and make right decisions with the things that are happening in my life. And it is something that I am always looking forward into. With this being said, I hope that this year’s winter season will be coming sooner than we are expecting. 4/27/2020 09:30:20 am
I must say that you gave an information that is very important to know, especially to those people who are in the same place as you because I believe that they need to be informed about the temperatures you are all experiencing there. I am one of those people who is really into winter season because I feel very relax and comfortable during the said season. As a matter of fact, all I want to do during winter is to be in my bedroom, read my favorite books and sip a cup of hot coffee. I can’t really wait to experience this kind of calmness soon. Thanks for this by the way. Leave a Reply. |
