Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeDangerously cold wind chills were observed from late on the night of the 5th through the night of the 6th. Wind chills during this entire period were colder than 10 below zero from the Cape Girardeau area north and west. Closer to the Arkansas border and the Bootheel of Missouri, wind chills were colder than 10 below only during the morning of the 6th. The lowest wind chills were observed north of Cape Girardeau on the morning of the 6th, when some readings were around minus 20. The actual high temperature at Cape Girardeau was 8 degrees on the 6th. This was the most severe cold snap of the 2013-14 winter season. It resulted in many problems with burst pipes and overworked furnaces. Demand for utilities such as gas and electricity was near record highs. Water main breaks occurred as the cold weather put stress on pipes. Arctic high pressure over the Plains states produced a strong northwest wind flow of bitterly cold air across the Lower Ohio Valley and southeast Missouri.
