Post the daily low temps in your area

[Extremeweatherguy]

Conroe is closer than College station and they hit 23F on Sunday morning...which is within that 150 mile bubble. Also, down there in Angleton they officially hit 24F (and you should know that since you live there); Angleton is also in the 150 mile bubble. As for what I use to measure my temps...I use a digital thermometer that is located at probably 4-5 feet of height (not the 6ft recommended), and it is located in my backyard on a gazebo railing. BUT to verify the readings..I also have an bulb thermometer located at roughly 6 feet. This too was at the 22-24F mark on Sunday morning. I am also pretty confident in my readings due to the complete death of all banana trees (that were coming back to life) in my vicinity and also some serious palm burn I received. I also experienced many burnt leaves from sensitive trees in my backyard. There was also good frost/ice in my area from the cold. Here is a picture of some of that:


The frost was not the same that I experienced on normal cold nights either. Since the air was drier..the frost was thinner, but overall..more widespread.

Overall I feel fairly confident that my reading was correct. I am usually 1-4F colder than Hooks airport on good radiational cooling nights, and since they hit 27F...I feel that my 23F is feasible. Another reason that I support my 23F reading was that my area seemed to get calm winds more so during the night then at the local recording stations...which aided in the cooling.

First of all...Angleton's airport temps are always too low. They DO need to be recalibrated. I live there....within 4 miles of the airport (and the airport is CLOSER to the coast!)...and I was at 29.8F for a low and I AM calibrated to the 1/10th of a degree with a certified thermometer.

Second...did you bother to look at LBX's temps at all or just their low? They went from 25F to 30F to 24F all in the space of 2 hours. Does that sound like a well calibrated instrument to you? Yesterday they were 29F...I was 33F. The sensor they have doesn't do real bad when it is warmer...but flakes out when it gets cold. I live there...I'm telling you it wasn't 24F. I have 2 thermometers at my house...even the one near the pasture (which runs about 2 F colder) was only 28F on the 12th.

As far as Conrow goes...I'll give you that one...but that is one location. They usually run colder and it could also be a calibration issue (and I say this...not to give my arguement weight...but with 19 years of experience). I have worked with sensors on air force bases that were out of wack before and have been discounted....a local regional runway...ASOS...well...let's just say when everyone else says one thing...and one voice says another...I usually stick with the multitude of witnesses.


All I'm saying is I think it's too low. Of course you want it to be low (and don't even bother saying you don't ) ) but in my opinion and just looking at the area and obs around you...I think it's too low.

But...just an opinion. BUt...I do live in Angleton and I do know how cold it was here on Sunday morning, and I can tell you for a fact it was not 24! I don't care what LBX said. If you go back over the last 2 years...you can see their temp readings getting progressively colder during winter. It used to be they were about the same as Hobby several years ago...then about 3 years ago they were the same as IAH...now they are 7F colder than IAH? There is no heat island big enough to account for that. They need to calibrate that sensoe...and they need to do it on a cold day.

I am sorry but I still feel that 23F (or around that number) is right. It may have been very brief, but I still think that number is accurate. I received virtually no wind the entire night of the event, all standing water turned to ice, and I received some decent freeze damage (even a few "cold hardy" flowers I have that can withstand down to the middle 20s died). Even if it was not exactly 23F...I have no doubt in my mind that I was at least 25F or colder. For future events though; do you know where I can purchase a good thermometer that is for sure calibrated correctly? I would love to get one...especially for the next cold event so that my readings are for sure accurate, and recognized as being so.

I reached 24 degrees... I don't use an automated thermometer, so I'd say my reading is pretty accurate. The Weatherbug station in Porter reported 24 as well. Kingwood is usually a good degrees cooler than IAH...

The low this morning was 54*F.

[O Town]

Warming up nicely here. 45 this morning.

[dizzyfish]

Lucky you. 33* at 5:10 this morning.

:uarrow: Lucky you. 33* at 5:10 this morning.

Yeaaaaaaa, but still too cold for me. Isn't New Port Richey southwest of me? For some reason I thought it was down by Sanibel/Captivia.

[EDR1222]

It was 29 on Tuesday morning at the Melbourne Airport and 39 this morning. A nice warm-up is on the way!!

[bob rulz]

Got down to 21 degrees this morning. It was snowing all day though and only got to a high of 30! The next few mornings are supposed to be in the teens.

[WindRunner]

Low of 32.7F this morning, and we should be in the 60s today!

Nope. Pasco County. Our zip is New Port Richey - but nowhere near where it shows NPR on the map.

47* this morning. Now, that's more like it!

[cycloneye]

The low this friday morning was 54*F.

[bob rulz]

The low overnight was 7F! It was officially recorded last night, so it counts towards February 16s readings. The 7F was only 3 above the record low and 19 degrees below average.

[senorpepr]

Our low for the 17th, 0°F, actually occurred late in the day.

[cycloneye]

This saturdays low was 53*F.

[senorpepr]

This moring's low was a frigid -5F

[JenyEliza]

Our low was 39F, and we're still at 39F at 10 am EST.

And now that it's dusk, we're at 34, with light rain.

[WindRunner]

A balmy low of 33.3F this Saturday morning.

[Extremeweatherguy]

It is 40-41F in NW Houston right now, but we are suppose to fall through the 30s during the day..so the low for today will probably not occur until 11:59pm tonight.

N/C Ohio: 8F Windchill -8F

[bob rulz]

7F again overnight.
