Super low pressure center gradient with seas above 50ft!

Looks like the final gasp of the 2014 season is gone for the foreseeable future, at least on the Plains. Some really steep height falls at the center: http://i.imgur.com/yfDmKkM.gif

It was -22* F in Laramie, WY when I stopped for fuel in my Freightliner Cascadia work truck on Thursday morning.

I put in two bottles of anti-gel per tank and my fuel was STILL trying to gel up and pulling engine codes.

Thats the coldest temps I have ever experienced myself.

I hope this is just a random freak storm and not the start of a trend for this winter season.
