Boston's HIGH Today: Lower Than Its Record Cold Temperature For This Date -- ISO NE -- March 28, 2022

Folks may want to check ISO NE. Things move quickly so by the time you check, prices may have come down, but electricity has just spiked to $240 / MWh. Later: ISO NE has bern in the 8th decile all day. ISO NE will never get above the 8th decile.

So, what's going on?

From a reader: 

  • I have done this quickly, so it may need to be fact checked ...
  • A site said that 
    • today, March 28, 2022, Boston temperature may reach 30 degrees at the airport in the afternoon. It did, if I read readings correctly, and 
    • then drop to ~23 degrees near midnight.
  • Thing is, WAY back in 1893, Boston hit 33 degrees for its-still-record low for this date, March 28.

Later:

  • Looks like airport temp hit 32 degrees, and is turning downward.
  • Still never reached - yet - the 33 degree mark which is the record low for this date.

Later, fact checked, from the same reader:

  • Record low may actually be 11 degrees. 
  • A site 'extreme weather' has Boston's low for March 28 at 11 degrees in 1923. 
  • Next lowest is 20 degrees.

Now, the screenshots to catch this magic moment:
