Frostbite versus hypothermia

Frigid weather is plunging down into the central and eastern portions of the country this week, with freezing temperatures likely in the Deep South. Despite December-like conditions in this part of the country, climatologist Cliff Harris and I don’t see extremely cold temperatures across the Inland Northwest in the immediate future.
The last time Coeur d’Alene’s temperature fell below the zero mark was Feb. 11, 2025, with a frigid minus 6 degrees. The following morning, Feb. 12, low temperatures were at minus 2 degrees with a 0-degree reading Feb. 13. At the Spokane International Airport, low temperatures dipped to minus 2 degrees Feb. 12 and 13. If Coeur d’Alene and other locations in the lower elevations were to have readings below the zero mark, the best chance would be around the full moon cycle beginning in early January.
