It hit -41 in Minnesota yesterday and nearly reached that again in upstate New York this morning.
Unofficial, but believable, as some parts of upstate NY have dipped as cold as -39˚ this AM, per @NWSBUFFALO HT @PeteWeatherBeat. (Photo: @weatherchannel FB friend Christine Thorne from Hebron, NY) pic.twitter.com/Ciq6AkEQbP

Think it was cold Christmas eve through Boxing day, think again as it looks like New Years eve through Jan 7 is even deeper cold.
We have a clipper diving SSE now, once this exits, the floodgates open.

Duration of this cold is likely to become noteworthy!
With Central Park forecast to remain under 32° for at least the next 7 days, here are the records for the most consecutive days with highs under 32° since 1872. Central Park hasn't been above 32° since Christmas Day. pic.twitter.com/1m6RilatpQ
