How about that cold!

[Dann Cianca]

Wow, record cold in Denver this morning at -19ºF and crazy cold up in Montana and the Dakotas ... have a bit of a blurb on it in my blog:

Not really sure the "cold" was worth a "... storm discussion thread", so maybe this is a good places?

Discuss.

Not much to say cept I AM FREEZING UP HERE IN WYOMING!!!

Ok I am better *grabs another blanket*

I just took a look at the NWS site, they say it's 10 F here with a windchill of -1. Granted, it's not as cold as what you are seeing, but it's still entirely too cold for me.

 

[Jason Boggs]

It's definitely colder here than it has been all year. It got to 9 degrees last night and only got up to about 20 for the high here in Amarillo.

My car was showing -14 when I pulled into the parking lot at my gym at 5:45am MT this morning. Even the cheapo garden themometer that is on my porch, which ususally runs higher than actual in winter, was reading -10 at 8am. Temps did "rebound" to -1 when I got to work at 10am. No matter how you slice it, it's pretty flippin cold!!

I'd love to take a little bit of the cold right about now. We went from having around 8 inches of snow to highs in the upper 60's/low 70's and high humidity with chances of it getting up near 80 by the middle of the week.

Here in Norman, the high (if you can call it that) was 18, the low was 16 and the wind chill has hovered around 0 all freaking day. The temperature dropped 30 degrees in two hours when the front came through yesterday. At least we've been precip free except for a few quick sleet showers last night.

I've had enough winter now. Bring on spring.

Iowa had temps -20 to -30 with the windchill last night. (Sunday) To make things worse the power for my house was out for 30-60 minutes last night. (looked like a whole street was out) I saw on the news today that just west of Des Moines there was a -26 degree reading with the windchill.

This has been a bitter cold winter.

Lows in the teens here in greater Seattle-Tacoma !!! Record low temps last night at SeaTac airport as well. Another winter storm headed this way! I love it!

Yesterday was pretty intense here. Reached 55 mid afternoon, then the cold front hit with driving rains. Rain quickly turned to freezing rain, then sleet. Glazed up everything real well as the temps crashed to near 20 degrees mid evening. Then a band of heavy snow blew in as the H5 vort max passed just north for good measure. Dropped over an inch of snow in 30 minutes. By early this morning temps had settled to just above zero, with wind chillds to -20. The "feels like" temp had dropped over 70 degrees in 15hrs. Very impressive.

Come visit Florida. Here in Gainesville (North Central Peninsula) the next five days forecast highs are: 79, 81, 79, 77, 76

Lows last week dipped below freezing even here, but we're on the comfortable side of this front

Pretty darn cold here in Norman. But this is an unusually dry system given the prevailing patterns, so we're lacking the snow cover in the central U.S. (south of I-80) and thus the air mass is undergoing some fairly rapid modification as it reaches OK and TX. It's 11 pm and the temperature has gone up a degree since midafternoon with continued north winds, if that says anything.

Denver's -19 temp this morning was the coldest official temperature in that city in almost 18 years - since Dec. 22, 1990, when the temp at Stapleton Int'l dropped to -25.

 

[Mike McDonald]

Looking at the weather for Bismarck, ND:
"...wind chill values of -45 to -50 Monday morning will slowly improve to -30 to -40 below zero by the afternoon." Sheesh - it's cold when things are improving to -40. But things aren't getting warmer soon, tonight's air temps are forecast to be -25 to -30.

It's interesting to compare how the system passed through, looking at the data from a station in Bismarck compared to mine south of Denver, where it was -10 last night. Screen grabs are attached since I'd originally linked to real time weather data. Doh!
