While New York City failed to surpass 13 degrees, Philadelphia didn’t get above 16 degrees. What’s significant about these readings? It’s the coldest daytime maximum for both since 1994. However, the much hoped 0 or lower last night, well it didn’t happen due to wind.
Record low high temperatures were set at 5 of our 6 climate sites today. Temperatures around the region stayed in the teens, about 25 degrees below normal. Central Park was the only location to not break a record today. pic.twitter.com/P06jECtrD3

Today was the sixth day in a row with a high of 25 degrees or colder. The last time a streak of this length occurred was in Jan. 1981. The longest such streak (going back to 1902) was nine days in the winter of 1961. #weather #history pic.twitter.com/hSeLbtkdBh

This morning’s lows was most noteworthy over the snow cover of eastern Virginia and North Carolina where it dropped to 0F are below not far west of the Outer Banks.
It's below zero in eastern North Carolina ?#ncwx #gawx #scwx pic.twitter.com/AefAlDC3R7

This cold is helping hold onto snow cover even in coastal North Carolina 3 DAYS after the storm. Amazing!
Hey #AMS2018… One really impressive thing about this COLD outbreak is the snow is STILL THERE on the NC OUTER BANKS webcams, 3+ days later, even on the ROADS! Normally next day, it's gone. pic.twitter.com/eU7QQKeRS3
