Drier than the Mojave
R2B - good point. This afternoon when I saw the dewpoint of -25 I checked the Mojave Desert weather stations, namely Twentynine Palms CA and Needles CA - both were reporting dewpoints of 7 and 8 degrees. Thier dewpoints are higher than our temperature has been all day. We're drier than the Mojave today!
Motto of the day is "Fun with static electricity!"
UPDATE at 11:00 a.m. Wednesday: Minus 8 F is the new low for the winter season, this morning. Temps are rebounding back to 5 above, and climbing. Winds are relaxing back to 15 mph and under... but we have more coming up for later tonight and tomorrow. Looks like after 1 more day of arctic cold we see a major pattern change. High pressure moves off the coast becoming a "Bermuda high" for the weekend... and then the upper level wind flow becomes more zonal (straight west to east) across the northern states.
