colder...

I like many have been commenting today about how cold it is. 14 degrees, the current temp, is better than the -13 wind child we had this morning. The wind chill right now is -1. This is according to my WeatherBug which reads from the Mountain Home Air Force Base.

With all the comments I still remember is being colder. To test I memory I decided to look it up. With the help of the National Weather Service and KBOI I found the following information.

as of this date (12/8/09) these are still record lows...
December 1990---I was 12 and a seventh grader...
20th:  -8
21st: -23
22nd: -25
23rd: -18
24th: -20
25th: -20
29th:  -17
30th:  -9

I still remember standing out for the bus, which was late, because it was too cold to start the engine.

Oh...and in case you are interested 0 was the record low for December 7th in 2009.

What was that about global warming?

It is now down to 10 degrees...
