UPDATE: 50-below sets Maine record

AUGUSTA -- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Geological Survey and Maine State Climate Office announced today that a minus-50 reading in northwestern Maine held up to scientific scrutiny.

That beats Maine's old record of 48 below zero set in 1925 in Van Buren, and ties the record for coldest temperature recorded in New England. That reading was made in 1933 in Bloomfield, Vt.

The record on New Hampshire's Mount Washington is minus-47.

Maine's minus-50 reading was made on Jan. 16 at a remote site along the Big Black River near the Quebec border as the region was in the grip of a blast of arctic air.

My arthritic knee is the size of Spicoli's ego right now.

I was hoping for snow and temperatures in the teens tonight in Columbus (no offense, Kev), but it looks like I'm not going to get it. Mexicans love snow, or so I hear. :) At any rate, I'm sure they have fond memories of Columbus.

0-2 in Cbus, yo. Let's make it 0-3 tonight. :thumbup: That game is going to be insane with the wind they are expecting (gusts to 60mph :eek:). This should be close to what we experienced with the storm formerly known as Ike. In my 35 years here, I've never seen wind storms like we've had over the past ~6 mos. or so. :saywhat: And I'm not a big fan of wind. :(

Me too. When I lived up the road from you in the UP we said there were three seasons; Winter, Mud (and/or blackflies) and Road Repair.

My wife grew up in San Juan and thinks I'm nuts. Even with our mild winters here she hardly goes out after October.

Currently 58F here but calling for a little snow on Saturday.

Our Japanese agent checked the weather in "Portland" before visiting last week and he sweated through our nearly 60 degree days in his winter woolens. Next visit I'm guessing he'll look a little closer at which Portland before packing...

Yesterday it snowed hard all day but it was a bit too warm to have much to show for it.
