Late last week, we had some of the coldest weather across the country we’ve felt and heard about in a long time as hundreds of cold records were broken. Over the weekend, morning low temperatures in central Montana near the Canadian border were more than 20 degrees below zero. Frigid weather was reported across the central U.S. and into the Northeast.
Here in Coeur d’Alene, morning low temperatures Saturday morning dropped to a record -17 degrees for the date. The old record was -8 degrees set back in 1950. The coldest weather we’ve reported within the last 20 years, prior to last weekend, occurred Jan. 5, 2004, with a low of -14 degrees. The most frigid morning in Coeur d’Alene happened Jan. 30, 1950, with a low of -30 degrees. At the Spokane International Airport, the coldest day in history was Jan. 15 and 16 in 1888 with a low of -30 degrees as well.
