  1. BCK stopped sending temp reports after hitting -38.
  2. The opposite actually needs to happen. Winds need to die off, and faster than they are.
  3. -28 MLI. They have tied the all-time record coldest temp there now.
  4. It's been dead calm there now, so it's off to the races.
  5. -27 MLI. This is 1F off a tie and 2F off a record all-time low temp there.
  6. -25 ARR currently. I has been bouncing around, going back and forth between calm and light winds.
  7. -34 BCK now. It dropped 7F there in a 20min period from 5:55 to 6:15PM as winds went calm.
  8. ARR leading the local pack at -19 so far.
  9. Still -15 ORD, no changes last hour. We are at the checkpoint of -15 I wanted to be at by now. Next one will be -20 by 9PM OBS .
  10. ORD back down to -15. SQI -11 to -14 last hour. Let the fun begin...
  11. High here was -12 at both midnight and during the day. Have since fallen back to -14 now.
  12. Up to -14 ORD as of last OBS, which will likely be the high for daytime hours...though the actual high will be the midnight temp of -10. The first checkpoint I want to see for -30 is -15 by 6PM OBS...which realistically shouldn't be hard given where things are right now.
  13. LOT going as cold as -42 just east of RPJ for tonight.
  14. Yea, there's a few check points I have in mind to break the record or hit -30.
  15. About a week ago I went coldest temp of -28 for ORD during this period. I think I'm going to stick with that for the temp for tonight. Additionally, I think across Northern Illinois the coldest location will end up being ARR, at -37.
  16. Still -15 ORD. Likely won't fall much anymore, so we're going to have a nice starting point for tonight. Only need 13F from current temp for the record.
  17. MLI the only one that "warm" in the area.
  18. The -51 wind chill at ORD for the 7AM OBS is tied for the 5th coldest hourly OBS wind chill on record.
  19. The coldest noon temp of the 2014 cold was 1/6, with a noon temp of -14. This time noon temp was -18, which makes it the second coldest noon temp on record...only behind -21 on 1/10/1982.
