New extreme cold weather warning issued for first time by N.J. weather office
This new type of weather warning was activated because of the dangerously cold temperatures and wind-chill readings in northeastern Pennsylvania.
N.J. weather: Residents wake up to a deep freeze. Here are the 15 coldest spots.

More than a dozen towns across the Garden State had sub-zero temperatures Wednesday morning, without the wind chill factored in.
thanks..this two day cold event is waaay more impactful than any of these nuisance to barely moderate snow events this seasonN.J. weather: Residents wake up to a deep freeze. Here are the 15 coldest spots.

Lowest temperature we've seen from this morning is -22°F in Tunkhannock Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Here's the observed low temps from this morning and how long its been since we've been this cold at some of our airport stations.
-3 in Hillsborough
That's 3 days in a row subzero...has to have been along time since we did that

This winter takes me back to the 1980s/90s with the consistent cold temps. It's like we forgot what a real winter was like down here in Delaware after being up in CT the past 23 years....
Reminds me of watching a game as a kid. I think playoffs with Cincinnati playing in the early 80s
Freezer Bowl circa 1982. The damn Bengals took out my beloved Dan Fouts and Air Coyell led Chargers.
so January 1982 had some brutally cold days in New Jersey. I imagine spots like High Point likely saw temps in the minus teens for a couple of days
the coldest temp at Newark was -7 on January 17 and 18.. The highs those days were 14 and 16. The coldest high temp was 11 degrees on January 11. The Freeze Bowl weekend from the 10-12th saw temps 11, 13, 15 for highs and lows of 0, -2, 2. The 13th also recorded 6 inches of snow

In 1984, New Brunswick hit -13 and -10 on January 22 and 23. Their all time record is -16 in 1934
Flemington all time record is -18 set on January 22, 1984 which tied the record from 1912
they failed to record 3 sraight days below zero but recorded 6 of them total in Januayr 1981

Found the data below for Central Park, New Brunswick and Philly (cool website), which are fairly representative for the 95 corridor, but obviously not for somewhere like NWNJ or the Atlantic coast (the same years might have those streaks in NWNJ, but the streaks are probably longer and shorter for the coast). Philly, surprisingly, based on the data below has had much longer streaks than either NYC or NB. Note that two of NYC's longest streaks in 1881 and 1893 were before Philly and NB were recording data (both started in the mid-1890s). The data don't quite make sense to me as I would think NYC and NB would have longer streaks than Philly, although one above 32F day can wreck a much longer streak. Might need to ask DonS on American about this.

NYC: Longest Streak: 16 Days
Between Jan 19 – Feb 3, 1961, the daily high temperature in New York City never exceeded 32 °F – a span of 16 days.
New Brunswick: Longest Streak: 16 Days
Between Jan 20 – Feb 4, 1961, the daily high temperature in New Brunswick never exceeded 32 °F – a span of 16 days.
Philadelphia: Longest Streak: 27 Days
Between Nov 27 – Dec 23, 1910, the daily high temperature in Philadelphia never exceeded 32 °F – a span of 27 days.
Went skiing at Camelback in the Poconos yesterday
The car thermometer registered a -7 a few times, as i.went along route 80
By the time I reached the base, it was -4
Coldest I ever skied, previously had a zero temp
Skiers know how to dress, it wasn't bad at all, since it was not windy and plenty of sun

Another frigid day ahead for N.J. before cold snap breaks. Latest forecast.
The weekend forecast includes temperatures above the freezing mark for most of New Jersey.
Coldest I ever skied was about -15F in Vermont at Killington. Apart from my face in spots, I was fine with 1990s technology, lol. Had to go into the lodge a few times to warm up and probably avoid frostbite on my cheeks.
Many years ago I was in Massachusetts to ski and I think it was -17 in the am, and we did not go that day
Going to Killington next Sunday , daytime temps look good
The coldest I ever skied in was -15 at Whiteface Mountain. I think that was around New Year's 1989/1990. I usually like to ski when it's between 5-15 degrees, but recall that being cold with the 80/90's tech as Numbers said above. Still didn't stop me and my group.
5 to 15 degrees?!
20 to 30, whatever the cloud coverage, is ideal to me. Teens are fine, esp with high-altitude sun.
Below 10? Had better be a foot+ of new snow!
Yes, as long as it’s cold enough to prevent melting or consistency
You know that east coast skiing. 😀 We don't get that great powder like you do out there. All that man made snow requires very cold temps to keep groomed/perfect corduroy & keep the ice away. A fresh 1-2" of natural on top makes it perfect. Plus the colder weather keeps the casual skiers in the lodge! When it gets close to 30-40 it turns into mashed potatoes and then ice. 20-30 consistently is fine though, but you start to sweat when the temp is around 27 (at least I do closer to sea level).
Ha, good points all around.
I get those same sweats when temp predictions of 36+ creep in on snowfall of 6+. Then, the literal sweats - that mush is work!
Both have to be homemade. Do broads know how to make homemade mashed potatoes or do they just serve it from a box
