| episode_narrative | At least 20 record low temperatures were set across Central and Northeast Wisconsin during the early part of February as a frigid arctic air mass remained entrenched across the area. The cold weather resulted in a hypothermia-related death in Green Bay on the first day of the month.Temperatures dropped to colder than 40 degrees below zero in parts of North Central Wisconsin. The coldest readings included: 43 below at Midget Lake (Oneida county), 44 below at Arbor Vitae (Vilas county), 45 below at Harrison (Lincoln county), and 48 below at Lake Thompson (Oneida county) and Mountain (Oconto county). Temperatures remained below zero for 132 hours straight in Chilton (Calumet county) and 137 hours straight in Green Bay (Brown county).The cold weather was responsible for numerous school closures, stalled vehicles, frozen pipes and broken water lines. Electrical and telephone outages occurred due to snapped wires and lines. All of the outdoor events of the Badger State games had to be cancelled and some local ski hills were forced to close for a brief period.Extreme cold temperatures combined with west winds 10 to 15 mph to produce wind chill readings in the 50 to 70 degree below zero range on February 2nd. |
