Awesome, been a long time since I've seen a Sundog at sunrise/set.  (That is if those aren't products of the picture)

Yeah it was pretty sweet.  The sun dog was from the ice fog which formed in that low valley near the Rock River.  You could see the ice crystals shimmering in the sunlight.  It was a spectacular sight in person, and wish I could have captured how it truly looked.  Really made it feel like being in an arctic location.

The period from December 26 through January 6 had a Bluto Blutarsky mean average temperature of 0.0˚ at IKK. The first 6 days of this January came in with a mean average temp of -3˚.

At midnight tonight, IKK snuck in another below zero minimum temperature, so going back to 12/26, that makes for 12 out of the 13 days with a temp below zero (12/29 failed). For comparison sake, the cold winter season of 2014/15 had a total of 13 days below zero...the historic season of 2013/14 had 28 days.

At 1:00 AM on Christmas Day, the temperature dipped to 19˚, and has remained below 20˚ for 318 consecutive hours (through today at 7:00 AM).

Daily max/min temperatures at IKK from 12/25 through this morning...

12/25: 20˚/4˚...12/26: 5˚/-6˚...12/27: 5˚/-10˚...12/28: 14˚/-7˚...12/29: 14˚/8˚...12/30: 14˚/-1˚...12/31: 6˚/-4˚

1/1: -5˚/-14˚...1/2: 6˚/-17˚...1/3: 17˚/-4˚...1/4: 9˚/-9˚...1/5: 8˚/-15˚...1/6: 7˚/-15˚...1/7: TBD/-1˚

And that's a wrap for my PWS.

Dec 25th 10:44 am thru Jan 7th 1:29 pm.

Sub 20F.

Thats probably the longest stretch in my lifetime.

Impressive. Would be even more impressive and unique if we challenge it again at some point this winter. I wouldn’t put it past, given what the pattern has shown in the last 40 some days. Winter 13/14   2.0???
