This Day In Weather History

 
In 2021, the beginning of an arctic cold blast that would end up being the most powerful winter event in more than a generation began to roll into the Northern Untied States. More than a dozen record lows and record cold high temperatures were reported across Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wyoming. In Kansas, temperatures continued to fall and marked the first full day of 12 where the mercury would not rise above freezing. In 1861, an astonishing temperature change occurred at Gouverneur, New York. The temperature tumbled from 30 degrees on the 7th to 40 below zero the next morning, February 8th. On February 9th, the temperature soared to 55 degrees
