    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.
  15. Knightking2018
    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.

    To Mr. Hoosier, If this article is correct Muncie had a temp of -26F and a wind of 28 mph at 8 am producing a wind chill of -60F(-85F old scale). https://kansashistoricalsociety.newspapers.com/image/253132969/?terms=Wind+chills++Indiana https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/in/muncie/KMIE/date/1985-1-20 Hourly temperatures are shown and at 2 pm it has a temp of -18F which is consistent with the temp on wunderground. Chippewa Valley Regional, Wisconsin January 10, 1982 -28F winds 21 mph wind chill -59F(-80F old scale). https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/wi/eau-claire/KEAU/date/1982-1-10 Appleton, Wisconsin January 10, 1982 unknown temp winds 58 mph. According to newspapers temperatures were in the -20F to -25F range at that time. Wind chills on the old scale were -100F in some parts of Marathon County, Wisconsin. https://kansashistoricalsociety.newspapers.com/image/248083264/?terms=Wind%2Bchills%2BWisconsin Beulah, North Dakota reported a wind chill of -109F on the old scale January 10, 1982. https://kansashistoricalsociety.newspapers.com/image/192806510/?terms=Wind%2Bchills%2BWisconsin Northern Kansas likely had wind chills in the low minus 50s from what I have read in newspapers. It was December 22-23, 1989. I am not going to say a record but it was truly very cold that time in Kansas. I was 9 and it was my first memory of extreme arctic cold. The wind chill was probably around -45F the morning of December 22, 1989 where I lived in Central Kansas. Kirksville, Missouri January 10, 1982 Temp -21 winds 22 mph wind chill -51F(-71F old scale).https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/mo/kirksville/KIRK/date/1982-1-10

    Wow!!!!!!! I wonder what that would feel like on your exposed skin. It would take only seconds to frostbite. You probably would also have to wear a lung piece to breathe.
  18. Knightking2018
    Also is there any other days in history besides January 20 and 21 1985 where Ohio and Indiana had wind chills of -50F or colder. Is there any other days that you may suspect?
  19. Knightking2018
    Yeah, for sure, but I think the Watertown, Iowa -64F wind chill on December 24, 1983 and the Canton/Akron, Ohio -56F wind chill are even more impressive. I also read a news article regarding the Oketo/Marysville -52F on December 24, 1983 and it supposedly got so cold even some ducks drank water and froze to death and hens froze solid on their perch. I can't find that article even though I just read it the other day. Also Williston had a -71F according to that metorologist in that news article. Are new articles evidence for wind chills. You took the word of an observer on regards to the Mount Washington -107F in 2004.

    I remember the snowfall we got in Kansas in the 1983-1988 range. One thing I do remember at age 3-5 was the huge drifts and the cold somewhat. We sometimes got 8-12 inches in one day and it would accumulate and when the wind came along it blew it into drifts 5 feet tall. There also was to one day back in the 1980s where ice accumulations would be as much as 2 inches and leave a sheet of ice on the Kansas Turnpike. This also occured in 1998 and 2002 that even a 600 foot tower collapsed somewhere in Kansas. It is claimed by weather experts that major ice accumulation and flooding waters can have just as much power as an EF5 tornado.
  21. Knightking2018
    Oh wow!!! Canton/Akron, Ohio had a wind chill of -56F on the new scale on January 20, 1985 at 9:00 pm and at 12:00 am on January 21, 1985. The one at 9:00 pm the temp was -22F winds 30 mph wind chill -56F(-81F old scale) and the other at 12:00 am was -24F with winds of 24 mph wind chill -56F(-78F old scale). For an incredible 8 hours from 8:00 pm to 4:00 am the wind chill was -50F or colder in Canton/Akron. It ranged from -71F to -81F on the old scale. https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/oh/canton/KCAK/date/1985-1-20 https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/oh/canton/KCAK/date/1985-1-21

    Sloulin International, North Dakota December 24, 1983. Temp -33 winds 24 mph wind chill -68F(-91F old scale). https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/nd/williston/KISN/date/1983-12-24 Also if you believe what this article says the wind chill in Williston, North Dakota was -71F(-100F old scale). http://www.dglobe.com/news/1357596-wind-chill-came-bragging-rights. Northern Minnesota also recorded a wind chill of -71F(-100F old scale) on January 9th or 10th 1982. Location is unknown.

    Bloomfield, Vermont -50F December 30, 1933 Richmond, Rhode Island -28F January 17, 1942 Norfolk, Connecticut -37F February 16, 1943 Millsboro, Delaware -17F January 17, 1893 Washington DC -15F February 11, 1899 River Vale, New Jersey -34F January 5, 1904 Landrum, South Carolina -22F January 21, 1985. I think that is a list of all the states but there is still progress.
  24. Knightking2018
    I think that is Canton/Akron, Ohio coldest wind chill which comes out to be -53F(-73F old scale). Though Kansas has had some incredible days like Christmas Eve 1983 and December 1989 cold outbreak. Both outbreaks lasted for at least a week with subzero temperatures in some spots. I believe December 1989 likely had wind chills as cold as -50F it didn't have the winds like 1983 did but it did feature colder temperatures with some spots hitting -30F to -35F. Even 1982 and 1985 may have had possible wind chills around -50F in some areas. I kind of wonder if Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and some of the other nearby states may have matched Chicago's -60F wind chill from January 20, 1985. They are quite a bit more north than
  25. Knightking2018
    Cool. Thank You very much. Christmas Eve 1983 was so cold for a lot of areas. In Iowa wind chills on the old scale were like 90 to 95 below on that day. Some areas may have even approached 100 below on the old scale in Iowa. That would be around -65F to -70F which practically corresponds to the -64F in Waterloo. That was a -92F on the old scale. The low was -26F and the high was -15F. Ouch!!!!!! Here is an article regarding the Iowa wind chills from Christmas Eve 1983. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1983/12/24/Freezing-weather-halts-Christmas-mail-137-dead/5277441090000/
