... On this date in weather history...
In 1899 one of the most intense Arctic outbreaks in the history of
the United States was in progress. Four all time state record low
temperatures fell on this date that still stand today... including 47
degrees below zero at Camp Clarke Nebraska. While few local records
exist from this time... those that are available indicate that the
entire area fell to near or below 25 degrees below zero. Culbertson
Nebraska reported a low of 38 degrees below zero. This remains the
coldest temperature ever recorded in the tri state area.
