  Keep on dreaming of that tornado outbreak. Of course as usual it turns into a major bust. 

  NW St Francis, Kansas February 15, 2021. Temp -26 wind 15.9 and wind chill -53.3F. Additionally I found a temp of -26.2F with a 16.2 mph wind with a wind chill of -53.8F in far NW Cheyenne County Kansas at coordinate points 40.002, -101.97. Here is the site I found it doing sub hourly at 1 and 5 minutes.

  I used a weather site called visual crossing and it showed a -53F wind chill in ENE Colorado, a -54F in NW Cheyenne County Kansas, and a -54F wind chill near Haigler, Nebraska. This was on February 15th. On February 16th in NE Kansas there was a -51F wind chill NE of Bern, Kansas, a --52F wind chill North of Sabetha, KS, and a -54F wind chill near Dawson, Nebraska. I have never heard of wind chills that cold coming this far South so late in the season. I experienced a -45F wind chill back in 1989 in Central Kansas and that had a very distinctive sting in the air. 

    On February 15th between the hours of 12:00-8:00 am there were wind chills of minus 50 to minus 60 in extreme NW KS, extreme ENE CO, extreme SW Nebraska, and other parts of Nebraska. I talked with a farmer and lady who lives in far NW Cheyenne County Kansas and they said temperatures were around -25F to -27F with winds around 15 to 25 mph. That puts the wind chills around minus 50 to minus 60.

  There was a temperature of -26F and a wind of 15 mph creating a wind chill of -53F right at the Kansas/Nebraska border near Haigler, NB last night. Haigler hugs the Kansas/Nebraska and has one street Logan that runs into Kansas. This could be a potential record for Kansas that runs along KS-27. 

  Is there a way of proving this -53F wind chill was also in Kansas near the Nebraska border?

The last time I experienced this kind of cold was 1989 . I think the temp was 14 below zero . But that was in a January . The record cold for West Plains, MO for February is 7 below . We might break that tonight .

  This is the coldest I have seen since December of 1989 and probably one of the coldest February's consecutive with below zero wind chills lasting for days.

 

  It was cold in my area last night the temperature was -10F with a wind of 18 mph creating a wind chill of -34F. This is near Wichita and is the coldest I have felt since 1989.

   I have a question for a meteorologist or an expert. Why is it in a wind chill advisory that they don't mention it as a possibility of being life threatening?

Wind Chill Warning: The combination of very cold and the wind will result in dangerously low wind chill values. Frostbite can occur quickly and these conditions could even lead to hypothermia or death if proper precautions are not taken.

Wind Chill Advisory: Very cold air and strong winds will combine to generate low wind chill values. This will result in frostbite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken. 

   Like why doesn't it say in a wind chill advisory something like this?That this could result in frostbite, could lead to hypothermia, or could be life threatening if precautions are not taken. 

  I am just curious.

Probably a couple reasons why ORD is colder than MLI: west winds covering less of a snow field before arriving at MLI, and H85 temps are a bit warmer at MLI. 

   Did you hit a wind chill of -50F? We bottomed out at -3F with a wind chill of -24F. I went outside and walked a mile in it and it made my face numb. It didn't sting but those winds were stiff. In fact when I was walking on my deck it felt like it was going to collapse. It was cold but pretty balmy compared to what a lot of you had last night.

  Temps here are going into the negatives and wind chills of -21F. Wind chills may bottom out at -24F or -25F. I went for a walk for about 10 minutes outside and for a minute walking into the wind. It was cold and it made my face numb. 

 Winds are howling around 20 mph in my area.

Just had a mini pixie dust snow squall roll through. I just can’t get over these winds. Can hear my flag flapping around.

  The temperature here is 7F with a wind chill of -12F. I went outside for about 5-10 minutes with no gloves and it made my hands go numb for a few minutes when I went back inside. I feel bad for you people up north that have a wind chill of -40F to -55F not only is it numbing but it feels like pins and needles are pricking your skin. Didn't some areas up north in the Dakotas and Minnesota have wind chills forecasted as low as -60F to -65F. This will be memorable day for a lot of people.

Saw a -28/21mph for a -59 WC in Park Rapids, MN at last hour.  

  That has to be painfully cold.

I was at the store to get a few things and you would think a big snowstorm was on the way.  People seem to be taking it seriously.

  It will probably be your most coldest wind chill you ever felt. It will probably feel like -50F in your area tomorrow. It will feel like -20F in my area though not as cold frostbite can occur in 20 to 30 minutes.

  The weather channel is forecasting a wind chill of -52F for Lake Zurich, Illinois. This will probably be one of the coldest days you ever felt Mr. Beavis.

-15F winds of 25 gusting to 36 with a windchill of -44F and we have another hour of daylight!

Stepped outside to run some errands and the wind just absolutely obliterates any exposed skin. 

   It feels like your exposed flesh is being peeled off or stung at those types of wind chills.

It was a historic Canadian tornado, one of two violent tornadoes this decade in my country. It might be the only EF4+ to be official for the 2010s so far. It had good velocity at the base and was up there for best looking in recent times. If I'd have seen that I'd be set.

In one of the videos that mesocyclone or structure around the twister was jaw-dropping. I've never seen anything like it. Manitoba is getting all the gems here. I remember 2015's insanity.

  The Elie F5 tornado did its most intense damage when it was like 40 yards wide. It was roping out basically. Did the Alonsa tornado do that as well when it did its most intense damage? Elie got up to 330 yards wide and the Alonsa tornado got up to a half-mile wide.

  The Alonsa, Manitoba tornado has been rated as an EF4. Its appearance reminds me of the Elie, Manitoba F5 tornado but the Alonsa tornado was wider than the Elie tornado. 

  Heilig/Scottsbluff, Nebraska December 22, 1989 -41F winds 9 mph wind chill -65F.

That is insane if it is true. 

Kansas and Nebraska really got it in the December of 1989 arctic outbreak. Minus 30s in Northern,Kansas and -40s in Northern, Nebraska. The coldest temperature in Kansas was -34F at Atwood and the coldest temperature in Nebraska was -47F at Oshkosh. Both occurred on December 22, 1989.

Nice.  That is an insane airmass...-23 in Akron OH with a 21 mph wind out of the SW.  Wow...

  I read through some old newspapers from January 20-21, 1985 and wind chill factors in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio were as low as -85F on the old scale or around -60F on the new scale.

  Sorry about if the newspaper articles you may have to sign up to look at them and cancel within the first week or 30 days depending on the site.

That looks like the old school TWC graphics.  Who knew that they're still in use.

   To Mr. Hoosier,

If this article is correct Muncie had a temp of -26F and a wind of 28 mph at 8 am producing a wind chill of -60F(-85F old scale).

Northern Kansas likely had wind chills in the low minus 50s from what I have read in newspapers. It was December 22-23, 1989. I am not going to say a record but it was truly very cold that time in Kansas. I was 9 and it was my first memory of extreme arctic cold. The wind chill was probably around -45F the morning of December 22, 1989 where I lived in Central Kansas.

   Wow!!!!!!! I wonder what that would feel like on your exposed skin. It would take only seconds to frostbite. You probably would also have to wear a lung piece to breathe.
