Day Two Of Historic Cold

Cedar Rapids, Iowa was part of the historic two-day cold blast that affected most of the midsection of the United States from January 30-31, 2019. My home weather station recorded a low temperature of -27 degrees F (above) at 6:15 am CST, Thursday, January 31. This broke the record low for the day and came just 2 degrees of equaling the all-time low for the city!

Have a seat? Not recommended. This image of our lawn chairs was converted to black-and-white via the Nik Collection Silver Efex Pro 2 Photoshop plug-in. Air temperature was -26 degrees F at time of capture.

8:34 am. The air temperature had risen to a balmy -18 degrees F. This image looks SE from Brentwood Drive NE in Cedar Rapids, Iowa toward cirrocumulus undulatus clouds partially covering the sun. By 10:00 am the temperature had further increased to -13 degrees F, and light snow began to fall. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
