Accu-Hunch:
Extremely cold weather will persist across the Northeast through Saturday. From the Virginias to New England, another very harsh night lies ahead with widespread below-zero temperatures. The northern tier of Pennsylvania will experience 20-below-zero readings overnight, and central and northern New England will have pockets close to 40 below.
The Aerie is in the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania. They say it is currently (9:30 PM) minus 2 degrees outside--which is what I have on the thermometer, too.
Perhaps the most incredible temperature during the past 24 hours was the 14 below zero recorded at Westhampton Beach, Long Island early Friday morning. That just shows you what clear skies and fresh snow cover can do when there is frigid arctic air in place.
I always thought the shore was warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer because the water acted as a heat reservoir and heat sink. Fourteen below at Westhampton Beach is unheard of. At least I have never heard of it before.
Oh, and they're saying we should get another 3-6 inch snowfall Saturday night.
Hey, Sisyphus! Grab the shovel. We got work to do.

The sled dogs here are mostly Malamutes, and they prefer salmon, mostly. But if you can find the seal, you can feed it to 'em. Just lash everything down tight!
