Re: Post the daily low temps in your area
I can't imagine surviving some of these low temps posted. Our low has been around 69 and our highs in the low 80's. Now that's a cajun winter!

You haven't lived until you've gone outside before sunrise on a -20F morning.

Re: Post the daily low temps in your area
8F this morning. Very mild because it was snowing hard (snow keeps it warm). Tonight is clear now. It's 7Pm right now and already -3 at the house and -1 downtown. Tonight is supposed to be -13, but it's always colder on the outskirts of town.

Looks like a "big warm" up by Tuesday.
+23 degrees and maybe even nights above 0.

I'm looking at a nice warm-up too. Should get into the low to mid 30's. Every day since November 28 has been below average (avg is around 29 right now).
PS: I'm not complaining either that it has been below average.

It's been much milder than average around here lately (before the last day or two).
It gets quite a bit colder around here than the area around the Minneapolis ever gets, but on the other hand we don't have any summer hummidity or tornadoes.
Anyway, have a nice warm up!

Do you guys often get the same effect the Uinta Basin does with trapped cold air, or does it just have to do with your location in a mountain valley?
Even when it's warm in the rest of the state, the cold air continues to hang around the Uinta Basin; it was 34/18 in Salt Lake City today, and a whopping 8/-7 in Vernal, for example.

Yes, same affect as the Uinta Basin. Our climate is very similar to the Uinta Basin, but a usually a bit colder in winter (but not the past two days-we've got up into the 20's) with more snow and not quite as dry. The Uinta Basin is straight west of here.
Just like the Uinta Basin, the river bottoms get much colder than the higher hillsides. For example, the Weather Station Craig 4SW is on the high hill south of town and at the Trapper Mine. Since 1977, the coldest it has gotten there officially is -41F, and in winter is the warmest of the locations in the area. At the Craig-Moffat Station which is just outside downtown and only seven miles away has gotten as low as -56 and has dropped to -50 on several occasions (last time in Feb 1989). It's at the airport and is the closest official station to town. Maybell, the next town down river is a bit colder still. In 1985, it hit -61 in 1985 and still remains the record low in Colorado. Surpisingly, it's considered a fairly low altitude in Colorado (5920 feet) and is not much higher than Denver.

Anyway, -5F this morning (-2 downtown). Not too cold and I walked to work.
Supposed to be above freezing tomorrow. Next two nights look very mild with temps above 10F. It's the warm before the storm.
