I’m back! I apologize for the unannounced blogging hiatus – the truth is that I’ve been a tad burnt out lately. Interestingly, I don’t think it has as much to do with work as much as my commute to and from work, […]

Great report John. Hope you can enjoy your upcoming 3 dog night. Do you have 3 dogs at your disposal to use to keep warm? Are your local rivers finally frozen up tight? Ours have gotten that way the past few days, just in time for a big thaw, though we had a small ice storm on Monday in transition. Do you get a good feed on local NOAA weather radio there in the Salcha basin? Are there any more entries on your timeline? Looks like there is one below -70 but it is cut off. Is that timeline mounted on the side of your house? Take care, put a few logs on the fire, esp if you don’t have 3 dogs to keep you warm. Kevin

Finally, the frigid air is being replaced by more seasonable temperatures. This coming week could see highs in the 40s and that will seem very balmy compared to what we’ve been having. This morning is c […]

Thanks for another great report John. Definitely you have been milder up there at times this week than I have been down here in central Maryland. Currently +8 with a DP of -5 at 0645 EST Sat 1/6. Rivers down here may be more frozen than your Tanana and Salcha Rivers are..Saw kids playing hockey on Friday out on the C and O Canal near the Potomac River. Very shallow, so it is probably frozen all the way through – very little current in the canal. Take care, stay warm – keep that log burning on your fire. Beautiful picture of your home! Later, Kevin

Great article Jeff. Noticed that no mention was made of the incredibly cold month of January 1977. As far as I know, that was the month where the greatest Chesapeake Bay ice extent was experienced, and was written up by Joe Moyer who was the MD State Climatologist at the time, for the Mariners Weather Log. I remembered from my old stats that I had very few days that month of above 32 maximum temps. No day was really extremely cold, it was just persistent below normal, below 32 cold on most days during the month. I sent your link around to others in the area, and many really enjoyed your article – Dave Lesher, John Oravec, and others. Thanks for your great efforts on this very interesting piece.
Thanks Kevin. The whole blog entry was a quick one that I did during my lunch hour. The ice extent was a last-second inclusion when I found a few things online – unfortunately, not actually being there limited my knowledge on what was actually happening. Yes, Jan. 1977 was a great month, as I remember it well (Frostburg stayed below freezing 30 of the 31 days!). If I get time, I might add some things to that post. I just wanted to add some thoughts quickly before it got too warm 🙂 I have a lot of weather trivia on my computer at home so can access that if I get time.
