Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire New Temperature record set in Utah

it use to get a lot colder than that when I lived in Minnesota...

but then I'm talking about between my soon to be ex wife and me.....

that was even during the summer time...

Coldest temp I've ever experienced was in Chicoutimi Quebec back in the early 70s...

the locals were telling me it hit 72 below that night... I had left my car running all night locked up..

got back the next night into Franconia Notch in New Hampshire, and it hit like 50 below...

that felt warm compared to the previous night up in Chicoutimi P.Q.

for the last 10 days or so, the days and night have been wonderful here in Southern Oregon...cloudless blue skies..

32 here at 4:00 am

Low 40's in NOLA.

Low 30's in NW La.

Peter Sinks is very close to the Idaho border so I checked to see if Idaho's record cold was anywhere in the area. It's not. The record is -60 in 1943 at Island Park which is hundreds of miles north.

OMG.............

12 degrees in Helena right now.

Almost every winter, some TV producer gets the bright idea to send a crew to Peter's Sink to film a thermometer. Invariably, the camera crew gets there, hikes down to the bottom of the sink - and then discovers that their camera batteries are frozen and dead. Frostbite ensues - in the atmosphere at the producer's office.

It was 11 yesterday AM here in Sandy ( up on the bench above Salt Lake Valley) Another place said 14, I don't know, beautiful day though!

Might not have varied at all, Jim. I have two digital weather stations at my house, and they always differ by two or three degrees. (If I were a climate whacko, I'd always quote the high one and claim it proves global warming.)
