The polar cold front shattered the previous one-hour temperature drop record in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on Wednesday, with temperatures plummeting from 43 degrees to 3 degrees between 1:05 p.m. and 1:35 p.m., the National Weather Service in Cheyenne said. The previous record was a 37-degree drop in one hour.

The agency warned at the time that temperatures were still dropping.

In a span of two hours, the winter chill dropped temperatures across southeast Wyoming by 51 degrees, from 42 degrees to -9 degrees, the NWS said.

Loved the Welcome sign driving through Cody, WY:

Welcome to Cody, WYOMING!
We hunt,
We fish,
We trap,
we shoot,
we eat meat,
We wear fur.
Love it or shove it!

So cold in the Ozarks the exhibitionists only describe themselves.

Love WY. But not the winters. Nebraska with mountains.

As the year-round residents say, “If you can’t stand the summer, you don’t deserve the winter.”

“”43 degrees to 3 degrees between 1:05 p.m. and 1:35 p.m.””

That makes it tough when you are up to your waist in a hole full of water, trying to fix a water supply leak to an apartment complex.

All you people that choose to live where it gets this cold only have yourselves to blame! LOL.

Yikes! Without global warming, it would have been much worse!

"...According to AAA’s “Cold Weather Can Cut Electric Car Range by Over 40%”, EVs often lose 12% of their range in cold weather, but the loss leaps to 41% with the heater on full blast...'

This is no big deal. According to our new overlords, just dress warmly and don't turn the heat on. Problem solved!

Of course, in North Dakota, that means you might be a human popsicle...

Once when I was in a shop in Laramie, Wyo., the woman at the counter said to me, “I tell visitors, yes, Wyoming is cold. So don’t move here!”

[rlmorel]

LOL, that post nailed it.

[ConservativeInPA]

It’s the BOMB! Or at least my puppy thinks so.
