Arctic Cold Smashes October Records in the West, Plains | The Weather Channel
LOL... I wonder what the climate jihadists will say this time...
Dozens of daily record lows were set. Even more impressively, some locations have set all-time October record lows, including:
-Bozeman, Montana: minus 14 degrees (Oct. 29 and 30)
-Casper, Wyoming: minus 9 degrees (Oct. 29 and 30)
-Dodge City, Kansas: 10 degrees (Oct. 31) tied a record from 1878
-Grand Junction, Colorado: 6 degrees (Oct. 31)
-Livingston, Montana: minus 12 degrees (Oct. 29)
-Lubbock, Texas: 17 degrees (Oct. 31)
-Midland, Texas: 19 degrees (Oct. 31)
-Pocatello, Idaho: minus 6 degrees (Oct. 30)
-Pueblo, Colorado: minus 6 degrees (Oct. 30)
-Rapid City, South Dakota: minus 2 degrees (Oct. 30)
-Rawlins, Wyoming: minus 20 degrees (Oct. 30)
-Rock Springs, Wyoming: minus 8 degrees (Oct. 30)
-Salt Lake City: 14 degrees (Oct. 30)
-Winslow, Arizona: 12 degrees (Oct. 31)
This was the first time on record Pocatello, Idaho, and Rock Springs, Wyoming, dipped below zero in October. Casper, Wyoming, dipped below zero four straight mornings, from Oct. 27-30.
One of the nation's coldest locations, Peter Sinks, Utah, a high-elevation basin about 20 miles northeast of Logan, dipped to an incredible minus 45.5 degrees the morning of October 30. This appeared to be the coldest October temperature on record anywhere in the Lower 48 states, according to Utah-based meteorologist Timothy Wright.
In the high country of California, lows dipped into the single digits in Alturas (5 degrees) and South Lake Tahoe (9 degrees) on Oct. 30. San Diego's low of 45 degrees on Halloween morning was the first time they dipped into the 40s in October since Halloween 1991.
On October 29, Denver and Boulder, Colorado, had high temperatures of 18 and 21 degrees, respectively. These both tied the coldest highs ever recorded in each city in October.
