Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong area of arctic high pressure moved from the Northern Plains on on January 15th to the Upper Ohio Valley by late in the day on January 16th. The high eventually shifted east of the area on the 17th. Very cold temperatures accompanied this high. The coldest temperatures since January 1994 were recorded at most observing sites. Gusty southwest to west winds made it feel even colder with wind chills colder than minus 25 reported from the evening of the 15th through the afternoon hours of the 16th. Winds eventually lessened early on the 17th which allowed temperatures to again plummet to 10 below or colder for the third morning in a row at many locations. Cooperative observers in Knox County reported lows of -28 and -29 on the 17th. Most of the schools in Northern Ohio were closed on both the 15th and 16th.
