Coldest night I've ever observed. 14F (-10C ) with 10-20 mph winds.

Spoke to Pierre today, he is enroute to the NJAA in search of clear skies tonight.
It was -25 C, after a big snowstorm and windy, so he decided to save his efforts for tonight.

My full report available on the IMO QUA on the fly page here:
