We hit a new temperature low this morning at GSD Headquarters, with a reading of -7 on the thermometer. With no cloud cover and no breeze, the temps plummeted overnight due to radiational cooling.
Temps will be very low Friday morning, but there will be a stiff breeze to add to our discomfort. With expected wind chill values in the low -20s, NWS Albany has put up a Cold Weather Advisory for our area.
We don't think this will be enough for freeze delays, but there is a chance that a few diesel engine buses don't start and the start of school is delayed. Again, confidence is low of this situation playing out.
Saturday morning is going to be very cold with some areas seeing -10 degrees. Had these temps been predicted for a school day, we would definitely have seen a few freeze delays.

Unfortunately, our nor'easter will be exiting stage left and heading out to sea. Rhode Island, Boston, and the Cape may pick up several inches but not us. The storm will kick up a strong breeze so again will contend with low wind chill values on Sunday and Monday.
We've looked at the longer-range models and nothing big is on the horizon. The cold will moderate slightly but no days will get above freezing for the next 10 days.
