The coldest weather this season for most stations this morning.
Selected* Online Centre County Lows this morning (and most recent colder record):
Elliot Abrams: -13 (None Since 2005)
Jesse Ferrell: -12 (-14 2/12/14)
KUNV Airport: -11 (-19 1/19/94)
Corl Street: -9 (Not Enough Data)
AccuWeather: -9 (None Since 2005**)
Mark Mancuso: -9 (Not Enough Data)
PSU Shelter: -7 (-9 1/7/14)
Marshall Moss: -6 (Not Enough Data)
PSU WalkerTop: -7 (?)
**No previous record lower since 2005, but station was missing during January 16, 2009 outbreak, which established the since-2005 record for the Jesse Ferrell station.
PSU did not set a daily record because their record for the day was -8 in 1904.
It would appear that we had a new record (since 2005) at Elliot Abrams’ house. The airport KUNV was lowest since 1994, as far as I can tell.
One thing so notable about this cold outbreak is that it’s not January. It’s mid-February! Penn State says this morning was their lowest February temperature Since 1979.
If your station is not included in this list, please post a comment with your low from this morning.
