| episode_narrative | A strong reinforcing Arctic cold ront dropped south across Iowa during the late afternoon hours of the 1st. With it came north winds of 15 to 20 MPH along with temperatures between -15 and -30 degrees F. These conditions resulted in extremely low wind chill values. Most of the state fell below -50 degrees for several hours with the coldest wind chill values in the north central counties. Mason City recorded the coldest wind chill with a bone chilling -79 degrees. The extreme wind chills resulted in most schools in the state being closed. Even Iowa State University called off classes for the day. Numerous record low temperatures were set around the state on both the morning of the 3rd and 4th. Elkader reached -47 degrees to tie the all time record low for the state. A record low of -26 degrees in Des Moines on the 4th was the coldest temperature in the city since 29 January, 1912. |
