It's officially -36F downtown, but I'm reading a -40F (actually -39.8F).

What type of weather station do you use that works accurately at such low temperatures? I know the VP2's temperature sensor works from -40 to +60C, but I've never seen that live, so it would be interesting to know.

Just a normal Accurite digital thermometer which works on electronic resistance. Supposedly it is accurate to -58F, but the coldest I've seen since I moved here is -48F on February 2 2011.
It can't be considered a weather station because the probe sits in the sun in the afternoon, which makes for inaccurate afternoon readings.

Re: It's -40F outside
-32F officially last night; I didn't reset the thermometer so I don't know what it was at the house (a breeze picked up in the morning, and clouds blew in so it actually warmed to -20F by the time I left for work).
Anyway, yesterday was so cold that I saw a group of teenagers and they had their pants pulled all the way up.

Re: It's -40F outside
It's not always cold here in winter. As you can see, it may finally warm up to 25F by Tuesday.
