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.

Liberals tend not to last very long here. That’s basically what that sign means!

“We’re 40 miles out of Cody, Wyo and it’s -32F right now! Brisk!!!”

If I’m never cold again, it will be TOO SOON! I love living where it RARELY gets down to 65, and RARELY gets up to 80. No complaints!

That’s why I hang my hat in Arizona.

You're probably not in Flagstaff, where the climate resembles that of Vermont.

WTH? How is this possible? I thought we would be able to remove the furnace and reclaim the space.

The coldest place in the lower 48 is often Hawley Lake, Arizona. I lived a few miles from there in Pinetop during the falll, winter, and spring of ‘75-75. At 7,500 feet, it gets mighty chilly.

I am in Casper, and was a little unnerved when the power went out right after I climbed in bed last night. I have electric heat, which works out well in a coal-rich state. It’s not like we have trees around here to fall on power lines so it’s typically extremely reliable. Fortunately it blinked back on again after a moment, but apparently it was out 4 times in the night.

We don’t have a furnace. Use wood burner.
Our Siberian Huskies are loving it.

Pffft- that’s nothing! I experienced a temp drop of 100 degrees once in a few hours. Left Florida when it was 80, and arrived in NE it was -20

It is good to be prepared...

Even prepared for tyrannical governments that want to force you to freeze!

I’m seeing little towns in NE Colorado at around -13, not snowing but the snow already there is blowing and drifting, bad wind chill. +28 over here in western Colorado.

Do you know the origin of the term, "Three Dog Night"?

Coming to southeastern Louisiana tomorrow:

Starting Friday, during the day we do rise above the freezing mark but the night temp lows are as follows:

Fri. 16-34
Sat. 17-37
Sun. 19-43
Mon. 18-46
Tue. 23-57

Hard freezing for 5 straight days is something I've never seen down here since we moved here in 2004.
