My lowest low last year was 24F, and the year before that 20F. I just broke 30F for the first time last night at 29.7F. I'm historically Zone 8A.
Extremely unusual for us this time of year. We broke a few records about two weeks ago. And it's continued to be below normal, though not as bad as that one spell. NOAA says we'll be below normal for about the next month, but then should see a warmer than normal winter. I sure hope so, this early cold weather has felt like January come early.

Usually our absolute worst cold is right around Christmas, typically in the 16F range. But our average is much higher, around 34 for lows in late Dec and early Jan.
