| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A fairly compact ridge of high pressure brought clear skies and brisk west/northwest winds to portions of northwest and west central Minnesota. High temperatures on the 8th were only in the single digits above and below zero. The west/northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph with a few gusts to 35 mph kept temperatures from plunging too far, yet overnight temperatures did drop to 10 below to 20 below zero (or about 30 degrees below normal). This dropped wind chill temperatures to 40 below to 50 below zero for a prolonged period the night of the 8th into the morning of the 9th. With only a few inches of snow left on the ground (mostly in sheltered areas), these extreme wind chill temperatures disrupted public events and services. Some schools cancelled or postponed activities, rather than risk unneeded exposure to these elements. Numerous water main breaks were also reported, due to the prolonged exposure to the cold. |
