This Day In Weather History

 
In 1899, what, at the time, was the worst Arctic Outbreak on record began. Temperatures in Fort Logan, Montana, located in West Central Montana, fell to 61 below zero which was a state record. The record was broken on January 20th, 1954 when Roger's Pass, located in West-Central Montana, plunged into an even deeper abyss to 70 below. A second state record was set for Nebraska when Camp Clark, located in the Panhandle, dropped to 47 below. The historic Arctic invasion spread into Kansas, as Wichita experienced their coldest day on record. The high was 11 below and the low 17 below to produce a calendar day average of 14 below. Swift Current, Saskatchewan was under tremendous pressure when the barometric pressure hit 31.42 inches of mercury.
