    Keep on dreaming of that tornado outbreak. Of course as usual it turns into a major bust.

    NW St Francis, Kansas February 15, 2021. Temp -26 wind 15.9 and wind chill -53.3F. Additionally I found a temp of -26.2F with a 16.2 mph wind with a wind chill of -53.8F in far NW Cheyenne County Kansas at coordinate points 40.002, -101.97. Here is the site I found it doing sub hourly at 1 and 5 minutes. https://www.visualcrossing.com/weather/weather-data-services#/login

    I used a weather site called visual crossing and it showed a -53F wind chill in ENE Colorado, a -54F in NW Cheyenne County Kansas, and a -54F wind chill near Haigler, Nebraska. This was on February 15th. On February 16th in NE Kansas there was a -51F wind chill NE of Bern, Kansas, a --52F wind chill North of Sabetha, KS, and a -54F wind chill near Dawson, Nebraska. I have never heard of wind chills that cold coming this far South so late in the season. I experienced a -45F wind chill back in 1989 in Central Kansas and that had a very distinctive sting in the air.

    On February 15th between the hours of 12:00-8:00 am there were wind chills of minus 50 to minus 60 in extreme NW KS, extreme ENE CO, extreme SW Nebraska, and other parts of Nebraska. I talked with a farmer and lady who lives in far NW Cheyenne County Kansas and they said temperatures were around -25F to -27F with winds around 15 to 25 mph. That puts the wind chills around minus 50 to minus 60.

      At the Kansas/Nebraska border there was a temperature of -26F and a wind of 15 mph creating a wind chill of -53F near Haigler, NB. Haigler hugs the Kansas/Nebraska border and one of its streets Logan runs into Kansas.

    It was cold in my area last night the temperature was -10F with a wind of 18 mph creating a wind chill of -34F. This is near Wichita and is the coldest I have felt since 1989.

    There was a temperature of -26F and a wind of 15 mph creating a wind chill of -53F right at the Kansas/Nebraska border near Haigler, NB last night. Haigler hugs the Kansas/Nebraska and has one street Logan that runs into Kansas. This could be a potential record for Kansas that runs along KS-27.

       Did you say that on January 10, 1982 there was an NFL game that had a temp of -9F with a wind chill of -37F(-59F old scale)? I just recently read in a newspaper from Hutchinson, Kansas published on January 11, 1982 that wind chills in the northeastern part of the state had wind chills as low as 80 degrees below zero. It comes out to be about 54 degrees below zero on the new scale. Christmas Eve 1983 was also cold with wind chills of 70 to 80 degrees below zero(-52F new scale) and December 22-23, 1989 had temperatures as low as -30F and wind chills of minus 60 to minus 70 on the old scale. It works out to be about -53F to -57F on the new scale. Kansas record keeping is really bad and it is also very rural. The only place I can find any data is through old 1980s newspapers with the exception of the Oketo, Kansas -78F(-52F new scale) on Christmas Eve 1983. January 20-21, 1985 I really couldn't find anything but I think Central, Kansas may have had wind chills of -50F in some rural areas.

    Heilig/Scottsbluff, Nebraska December 22, 1989 -41F winds 9 mph wind chill -65F. https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ne/scottsbluff/KBFF/date/1989-12-22 http://www.intellicast.com/Local/History.aspx?month=12 That is insane if it is true. Kansas and Nebraska really got it in the December of 1989 arctic outbreak. Minus 30s in Northern,Kansas and -40s in Northern, Nebraska. The coldest temperature in Kansas was -34F at Atwood and the coldest temperature in Nebraska was -47F at Oshkosh. Both occurred on December 22, 1989.

       You can find a lot of information about past wind chills in newspapers from the 1980s. Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio had wind chills of -60F(-85F old scale) on January 20-21, 1985. Kansas had wind chills of -50F to -55F(-80F old scale) on January 10, 1982 and December 24, 1983(Oketo reading). Central Kansas had wind chills around -50F to -51F(-70F to -75F old scale) on January 10, 1982 in some areas. Additionally many parts of Northern, Kansas likely had temperatures of -25F to -30F with wind chills of -60F to -70F(-52F to -55F). There may have been colder wind chills in 1989 than the Oketo reading but it would be best to keep with the -52F.

    Big Falls, Minnesota January 10, 1982 -30F winds 40 mph wind chill -71F(-100F old scale). It can be found in 1980s newspapers.

    I read through some old newspapers from January 20-21, 1985 and wind chill factors in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio were as low as -85F on the old scale or around -60F on the new scale. Sorry about if the newspaper articles you may have to sign up to look at them and cancel within the first week or 30 days depending on the site.
