January 2010: New Records


For the month of January, three records were established for the North Church Hill observation point.
  • New Lowest Recorded Temperature: 12.8 on January 31st (The morning after the snow storm that occurred on January 30th)
  • New Highest Recorded Wind Gust: 29 MPH on January 28th
  • First day to record a high below 32 degrees
While I'll be the first to admit that the new record wind gust is not substantial, it's important to note that the wind field around my weather station is far from ideal. Located in the center of an urban block, it lacks substantial clearance around the anemometer. Consequently, a recorded gust higher that 20 MPH signifies a strong wind event occurred on the 28th.
