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.

Another fun fact with current battery technology is the batteries can not be charged below freezing AND for extra fun will not discharge below zero. So... half the nation would now be immobile. BUT HEY! All those people freezing to death will die snug and cozy knowing they are saving the planet.

In my lifetime, the idiocy I have seen which people swallow wholly is nearly incomprehensible to me.

But they do.

It's a balmy -9 up here in North Idaho right now. The sun is out and the lake is still warm (comparatively), so lots of beautiful mist rising from the lake. The Pin Oak still has all of its leaves!

Try climbing out of your car to gas it up in Rawlins. The cold and wind combined are life changing.

Climate change. Global warming would be good. Stupid people could be put to work building dykes for decent wages. Cotton, mangos and bananas could grow in Upstate New York. Global cooling, however, would mean crappy weather.

I think you meant “dikes.” Building “dykes” is accomplished by participation and grooming through girls sports.

I feel your pain.

(Not really).

Is that your place? Nice!
