With this nice cold spell we are having right now, I was wondering what is the coldest experience you have had in the Catskills and where. The coldest I have ever seen in the Catskills was -28F about 10 years ago near Huntersfield Mtn. I have heard from old timers up there that sometime in the 1970's in went down to -39F in East Jewett. They also said there was two weeks up there where it didnt go above zero. I guess thats possible, but the person who told me that also said that he saw flurries up there at 6 in the morning in July, thats questionable.
As for the coldest place in the Catskills I would say East Jewett or Maple Crest, or even Spruceton. From what I hear Woodland Valley is cold at night too. It always seems like from East Jewett to Spruceton has the most snow, I guess because of the Lake affect.
