RCNYILWX Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 ORD got back to zero at 1014pm on the 1 minute data stream we have in the office, so we're going with 52 hours in the data we're putting out.

(The Record low yesterday was unusually high for this time of year, but it would not have mattered anyway) Jan 30th Old record low max: 7° 2019 max: 1° Old record low: -4° 2019 low: -13° Jan 31st Old record low max: 7° 2019 max: 3° Old record low: -7° 2019 low: -14° DTW was below zero for 37 consecutive hours. Back on Jan 6-7, 2014, I think it was just over 40 hours. To happen twice in 5 years is amazing. As an FYI, in the 146 winters since 1873-74, there were 39 winters where Detroit never fell below zero. The warmest min temp for a winter was 11F in 1997-98, the only winter there was no single digit temp recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 It's nice to see Cedar Rapids did manage to hit -30F intra-hour Thursday morning. For a while it didn't look like it would happen. The temp kinda bounced around all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The last week of January is considered the climatological dead of Winter. This year, the last week of January was the 2nd coldest on record for Detroit. The last 2 weeks of January was the 11th coldest on record. 147 years of record. Just wild to have that kind of cold in a met Winter dominated by mild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Congerville about to lose its extreme cold state record CONGERVILLE — Last week, five weather professionals joined a conference call from their respective climate-controlled offices in Champaign, Kansas City, Asheville, N.C. and Davenport, Iowa. They were enlisted to be the final arbiters of a central question that had lingered over two Illinois communities, like a stubborn blast of polar air, for the better part of a month. Not a lot of people were awaiting their answer. The decision mattered deeply to almost no one. Yet there it was. Congerville or Mount Carroll? Reigning champ, or former champ? A farm on the banks of the Mackinaw River in Woodford County, or a water and sewer plant next to Point Rock Park in the county seat of Carroll County in northwest Illinois? Rick Dickinson or Bill Zink? Minus-36 degrees, or minus-38 degrees? “We look at three things,” said Ray Wolf, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities who was in on the conference call that would decide a new state cold temperature record. “Was the (temperature) reading meteorologically plausible in the context of the weather of the day; was it taken at a government-endorsed weather station that is archived, and was the observation taken on equipment that was working properly?” The answers? Yes, yes and yes. https://www.pjstar.com/news/20190228/congerville-about-to-lose-its-extreme-cold-state-record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Here is the detailed report on the new Illinois state record low temp (-38) at Mt. Carroll on 1/31/2019: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/monitoring-content/extremes/scec/reports/20190305-Illinois-Minimum-Temperature.pdf Good thing this unscheduled visit occurred recently...otherwise the record may have been invalidated. On 17 October 2016 the NWS COOP Focal Point made an unscheduled visit to the site when WFO Quad Cities meteorologist reported temperature readings too low when compared to surrounding locations. Upon arrival the COOP Focal Point discovered a separated LIG minimum thermometer and replaced it with a new thermometer. Since replacing the thermometer, reported temperatures were in line with surrounding stations and no further issues were found during subsequent annual visits. The current minimum thermometer has been in service since this visit and was inspected annually for accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
