Arctic cold/LES

[Grizzcoat]

The -50F has been confirmed. It was at a lodge on Snowbank Lake- an entry point to the great Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Betting by this time tomorrow to see a petition for UNL to close Monday. LPS is closed for presidents day anyways but I'm sure theyll be closed thru wednesday lol.

It doesn't get any better imo. Love the rocky mtns, but there is no better

-13 atm high of -4 and low of -25. About 1/2" of snow. See where we end up tonight. Hoping for some snow late week to freshen the trails up. The snow is starting to turn to sugar. Need some fresh to keep it rolling.

[Beltrami Island]

Missed this from yesterday. If you want to find the middle of nowhere, you are not far from it at Norris Camp

Is this the coldest air you’ve experienced?

[Madtown]

the air temp of -30 the other night I believe is the coldest. Followed by the -27's and -24. I believe I had -24 a few years ago in the Madison area. Actually used to -10 and doesn't feel that bad. Had snowmobile club party yesterday and hanging out around a bonfire at -8 was just sureal. The trails hold up great in the cold, but getting worked over with the amount of sleds out. Need a storm as some warmer air returns hopefully. Hands down the longest cold and coldest cold snap. I have ever been apart of.

[jcwxguy]

Chilly (right now)

[gabel23]

Temps since this morning have hovered between -6 and -8. Coldest day time high that I can remember being apart of! Also have a pretty stiff breeze which is blowing snow around in open areas. Looks like the arctic tundra out there!

[Madtown]

-14atm made it up to -8 today

[Grizzcoat]

High for KDSM for 2/14 will be -4F. That was in the early morning. Between 3:30 am and 5:30am temp crashed to -10F in CLOUDS. Serious CAA.  The day high was -7F.

The record min/max -- before today,  4F in 1936.

That's smashing a record.

 

[Madtown]

-17.5  and dropping gonna be the coldest night yet 

[Madtown]

-20!

-21

[OmahaSnowFan]

-11.2 right now. High today was -2.4 just after midnight and then was between -6 to -9 most of the morning and afternoon. Had a breeze around 20 mph too so windchills were close to -30 most of the day.

 

[snowstorm83]

Had a midnight high of zero, but daytime high was -6. Pretty brutal with a moderate breeze. Tomorrow's high should be -4/-5. Even then it'll be the coldest high since at least 96.

I’ve been below zero since last night at 645p. Wonder how many hours is a row we’ll be below zero?

Could be an 80 hr stretch if Tuesday afternoon doesn't dip above. Euro is -8 for tomorrow and -4 for Tuesday. GFS is -7 tomm but 0 Tues in Lincoln. KLNK is -17.3 for the month and we haven't even bottomed out yet! It could replace 1899 for #2 coldest Feb in Lincoln, really depends on how mild the last week of the month gets. 1936 is basically untouchable lol. 

[snowstorm83]

Now that we're closer to the "event" I would also say it's basically a lock that LNK get it's first -20 reading since 1996 on Mon night. If winds are calmer than expected, something in -25 to -29 range wouldn't be out of the question for a goofy reading (probably a few degrees warmer for the rest of the city) 

[Madtown]

-27 below atm...crazy cold tonight!

[Grizzcoat]

-29F Gordon,NE -- East of Chadron.

[Grizzcoat]

York,NE is -17F

but in this-

FEW048 BKN055 OVC070

now that is impressive.

 

[snowstorm83]

KLNK baking at -10. Wind chills have been -30 or lower for the past 11 straight hours though. -17 is the forecast low.

Now -32. Just insane cold high pressure sitting over us. My weather station is at -16.1 and dropping around a degree per hour. Might bottom out around -20 by day break. I stepped outside and it's mostly clear and man does it burn the lungs to breath!!!

[OmahaSnowFan]

I’ve been “stuck” at -11.6 or -11.7 for the last 3 hours straight. Kinda weird

Climate-wise, records are falling all over the place. Yesterday (Valentine's Day, 2/14) KC set two new records and we've already broken the low temperature record for today (2/15, Washington's Birthday***)

The records that have fallen:
1. The high at KC was 4° F, which broke the low maximum record of 7° F set in 1936.
2. The low temp for KC was -6° F, which broke the previous record of -4° F, also in 1936. ...

It's funny how relatively warm this feels with no wind.

[CentralNebWeather]

We lost power at 4:45 AM. I guess a line broke due to the extreme cold and pulled down other lines that are laying across the railroad tracks. Outside of town has power. They are Using an old school as a heating location. Lots of people driving around to stay warm in their vehicles. 

[CentralNebWeather]

Update, my area of town has power restored. Not sure about other parts. Obviously no school for most of Nebraska today.

That's great! No power at those temps would be terrible.

It was concerning for awhile, especially for the elderly.

Official low for Manitowish Waters...-37 hands down the coldest I have ever experienced.

[OmahaSnowFan]

Made it down to -17.0 at 719 this morning. Already warmed up to a balmy -7.2 right now.

Last night it stayed about -11.5 for almost 5 hours between 930p and 2a before it continued to slowly fall to the overnight low.

[snowstorm83]

OAX forecasting -25 for Lincoln tonight now.....-9 at noon

[snowstorm83]

Lincoln electric apparently doing rolling blackouts  I noticed a flashing intersection last night. 

[OmahaSnowFan]

I'm working from home and just spoke to a gal I work with here in Omaha, and she said she talked to our power company OPPD who told her there would be rolling 1 hour blackouts here in town today. Not sure if she understood them correctly to mean everyone would be having their power shut off for an hour at some point or if it's going to be as needed yet.
