| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An unusually cold Arctic airmass came across the area on January 6th and stayed through January 9th. This area has not seen a cold airmass like this since December 2005, and even February 1996 before that. Besides the cold temperatures, this Arctic airmass brought in very strong winds throughout the area on the evening of January 6th and on Thursday, January the 7th. The strong winds combined with the very cold temperatures creating dangerous wind chills. Wind chills through this cold outbreak created dangerous situations for people, animals, and property that were outdoors for a long period of time. Several schools across the area were cancelled or delayed, waterline mains bursted and slick driving conditions were reported. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Temperatures in the single digits combined with wind chills of minus 15 to minus 20 degrees led to numerous water lines to burst across the county. The city of Wichita water department reported 160 calls of burst water lines or burst water meters. The extreme wind chills also led to numerous schools in and around Wichita to cancel on Friday, January 8th, as minus 20 degree wind chills made it unsafe for children to wait at the bus stops. |
