27 F/-3 C

Topped out at 29 F/-2 C today with cloudy skies and a stiff wind. Just over a trace of snow was recorded. It was the first sub-freezing max since December 15th. 

2:50PM

Snow
27 F/-3 C

Been snowing most of the day with about 2 in/5 cm so far. Another inch or so is expected to fall through the evening. 

Top 6 coldest 8-day periods in Winter Haven history:




1.) January 12 - 19, 2018: -94.1 F (-70.1 C)

2.) January 10 - 17, 2018: -93.0 F (-69.4 C)


3.) January 11 - 18, 1977: -89.2 F (-67.3 C)



4.) February 1 - 8, 1978: -88.6 F (-67.0 C)



5.) December 24 - 31, 1983: -87.1 F (-66.2 C)



6.) January 12 - 19, 1978: -86.6 F (-65.9 C)

Seems kind of cheap using periods only 2 days apart with several overlapping days. Guess it technically counts, but then one extreme cold snap could just take over the top 5 or 6 spots if it was long enough.

^ Sounds like a South FL summer morning, lol.


**BLIZZARD WARNING**

A very strong surface low is approaching from the southwest, which will reach the area by late tomorrow evening (Monday, January 22). The low pressure will draw in much milder air from the south, but is bringing a lot of moisture with it in the form of heavy snow. This low pressure system will also bring very strong winds to the area, causing very low visibility or zero visibility, some of the strongest snow squalls will have near hurricane-force winds and snowfall rates approaching 7" per hour. Due to very high amounts of mid and upper level convection with a lot of these snow squalls, lightning and thunder will be a near certainty, so thundersnow will be associated with this storm. Snowfall amounts are predicted to be in the 18-36" range, with higher amounts localized in some spots, especially in the south-central part of the metro area.


DANGERS....low visibility, very heavy snow, high winds, lightning/thunder, low wind chills

Snowfall amounts....generally in the 18-36" range, with some localized spots getting over 40"
