**** an intense cold blast that could send wind chills plummeting below -20°F in some areas. ****
Sounds like a replay of January 1962. Brutal cold and snow all across the High Plains from the Rockies to the Ozarks.
So much for pouring concrete walls this week.
January 1987 was a rough one. Deep snow and cold for days and the weather forecast missed it.
I remember the winters of ‘84 and ‘85 in Missouri where we had two solid weeks of -15°F temperatures both years.
