-40's this morning (without the wildchill)

[Scott P]

The official low in Craig hit -40F, tying Wolf Point Montana for the coldest official reading in the United States today (beating every station in Alaska by a large margin).

Our min gauge thermometer on the north side of town read -48F.

Another thermometer this morning in Tabernash (also in NW Colorado):

sounds like a three dog night.

-33F in Craig this morning, so I guess we're on a warming trend. We still had the nation's low (incuding Alaska) this morning (yesterday Walden came in with a late report of -48F so we were edited from the national low yesterday).

Today the afternoon actually did reach just above zero for a few minutes for the first time since January. It's not that far below zero (-10F), so I'm going on a jog.

I hope it has warmed up a little.


It has warmed for a short period:

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Craig&state=CO&site=GJT&textField1=40.52&textField2=-107.55&e=1



Tonight: Snow. Low around 12. West wind between 10 and 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.

Tuesday: Snow, mainly before 11am. High near 16. Wind chill values as low as -10. North wind between 5 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of around an inch possible.

Tuesday Night: A 20 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -24. Wind chill values as low as -30. Northeast wind between 5 and 10 mph.

Wednesday: Mostly sunny and cold, with a high near 9. Wind chill values as low as -35. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph.

Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around -15. West southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm.

Thursday: Partly sunny, with a high near 17.

Thursday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around -9.




Unfortunately, the only reason that it is warmer right now is because we are in the middle of a blizzard (~8 inches has fallen; another 4-8" expected). After it finishes snowing, it will get cold again. Of course, usually when they predict we will be in the -20's, it actually drops to the -30's.
