The coldest temperature ever recorded in Oklahoma was set today.

The Oklahoma Mesonet weather station at Nowata reached minus 31 degrees actual temperature at 7:40 a.m. today. That will be considered for the official state record.

That mark eclipses the previous all-time record low state temperature of  minus 27 degrees, set at at Vinita, Feb. 13, 1905, and Watts, Jan. 18, 1930.

Also, the Mesonet station at Medford recorded a wind chill of minus 47 degrees at 7:45 a.m. setting a Mesonet record.

The Oklahoma Mesonet, which began in 1994, has 120 stations throughout Oklahoma.

On Feb. 1 at Boise City, the wind chill was minus 36 degrees.

Um, Michael you realize there's a difference between "climate" and "weather" right?

At least that's what the enigmatic Nathanm keeps telling us.  

We had a weather event the last couple of weeks, not a climatological event.

"Learning to adapt to nature's extremes now will yield benefits in reduced disaster losses, regardless of the future trajectory of climate change."

This is totally unacceptable.  We must spend whatever it takes to stop Global Warming/Climate change.  :P

Oooh, I'm "enigmatic" now. I would have preferred "exotic," but your choice was fine. ;)

I was wondering when you were finally going to comment on that.  Show up to a TNF event and you will no longer be enigmatic  ;D

Hmm..now I don't know that I want to. I'd rather be enigmatic than mundane. ;)
