A number of record lows set or tied the last 2 days across the East. Several of the Thursday records were actually set Thursday Night just before midnight rather than during the usual early morning. pic.twitter.com/TXJkFd7X15

Can't recall the last time I saw so many potential record lows (centered around NYE/NYD). Often see record warmth like this but such widespread harsh cold is pretty rare. pic.twitter.com/nrFj4QqXE9

Amazing sight at a frigid Sodus Point, NY right now. Sodus Bay is frozen solid, allowing for some of the earliest ice fishing this area has ever seen here. Lake Ontario visible at the top of frame. @spann @JimCantore @mikeseidel @StormHour @TomNiziol @JamesGilbertWX pic.twitter.com/hEaPvvLM9N
