-23 at ORD. 5th coldest temp at Chicago on the threaded extreme site. Annihilated the daily record. 

Buuut....-10F at midnight. Cheap midnight high is gonna cost them a shot at the all time record low max. 

 

-24 at ORD. https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/timeseries.php?sid=KORD&wfo=fgz&num=72&hfmetars=1

4th coldest all time now.

-27˚ on 1/20/1985

-26˚ on 1/10/1982

-25˚ on 1/16/1982 and 12/24/1983

-24˚ on 1/30/2019

I was rather surprised to read a headline saying the USPS is not delivering mail tomorrow in some states in the midwest because of the unsafe cold temperatures

I'm a mail carrier. It's a great decision. Alas, I'm the only one in my office that has to work today...because they still want collections done. Going to be not fun.

Fyi, the ORD official low was -23.  The NWS Chicago met who is a member here called the ASOS and the -24 reading on the 5 minute obs was a rounding issue.

Can you call the ASOS to get the official min? I think it just gives you the current temp unless the NWS as access to more data. Guess we'll see in a few mins what the 6hr min was.

You haven't hit -20s?  We've had some big cold in recent years, I would've thought you pulled a -20 something at some point.

He's on the side of a hill right? Bottom of his hill prob hit it a few times but unless you can really go basically dead calm, it's very hard to hit -20.
