My fav pic was the one of the Arch that had a sign thumbtacked/photoshopped on it (it would have been 150 feet tall) that said "Sorry, we're CLOSED".
Officially it got down to -8F. It didn't break the record at the airport, tho. Why? Because the record for January 6th is the ALL TIME RECORD LOW for St Louis, set back in 1884, which was -22F. -8F puts it ranked with the 60th lowest temp of all time along with about 16 other dates. Mind you, it's about 40F below average for the day, so YES, it's FREAKING COLD.
Warmed all the way up to 23F today! Break out the swimwear! We did tie for 9th all-time coldest high yesterday with 2F. Brrrrr
Stay warm, Northern Hemisphere peoples.
PS: Why, yes, I was an atmospheric science major in college. Why do you ask?
