UPDATE: It has never been as cold in Cedar Rapids as it was this morning at 7:51. -29 UGH!
Original Post: The wind chill was 51 degrees below zero around 5 a.m. this morning in Cedar Rapids, as the mercury plummeted to record-breaking levels. It's leading the National Weather Service to use terms like "dangerous" and "life-threatening." A 93-year-old record low was tied Wednesday, when the actual temperature reached minus 22 just before midnight, according to the weather service. A record low will be set today, as well. It dipped to minus 26 this morning, breaking the 1994 record of minus 23.
Let's keep in mind the low in Cedar Rapids this morning was minus 26 degrees. The low this morning at the South Pole was minus 18 degrees, and minus 16 at the North Pole!!!
The kids haven't had school since Tuesday and won't be back at school until at least Tuesday (teacher work days were already scheduled for Friday & Monday). I'll let you know when we thaw out! :)
