Dear friends,

Well, we've set yet another all-time record low temperature for this date.

At 5 AM this morning, the temperature here was -38 degrees. This is a record for Devils Lake, North Dakota. Never before has the temperature been this low on February 20th.

For the record, my unofficial thermometer showed -40 degrees. I'm located about 40 miles north of Devils Lake, meaning that it's possible that my thermometer was correct. However, I'm going with the official reading taken at the Devils Lake airport......which set a record.

The day before, we had temperatures in -20s, with winds at or near 40 miles per hour......producing wind chills to 50 degrees below zero. The wind has since died down, but the temperatures continued to fall throughout the night.

This current weather system came straight down from the North Pole. It is now drifting off to the east, which is going to produce some very cold weather for the folks in Minnesota, Michigan, and eventually further east.

Joel

Joel, were not really interested in having it back, see what you can do about sending it SOUTH east when you're finished with it. ;)

Our friends in south could probably do with some cool air to reduce their A/C bills anyways. :)

Best of luck. ....
