Record Low in Rockford!

The mercury bottomed-out at -20F at the Rockford Airport this morning. This breaks the old record low temperature for this date (Feb. 10th) of -19F set back in 1994. At left are other low temperatures across the area this morning.

Coincidentally, record lows were being smashed in other parts of the country as well. In Tulsa, OK, a daily record low of -12F was recorded. And closer to the Kansas state line, Nowata, OK bottomed-out at -31F. That's a new record low for the state of Oklahoma!
