You betcha, it was cold enough to set a record


from the FORUM local paper:

For those who thought this morning was extremely cold, here’s confirmation from the National Weather Service: the 33 below zero reading at Hector International Airport set a new record.

And it was a very old record at that. The previous record low temperature for Jan. 2 in Fargo, 32 below, was set back in 1885, before North Dakota was a state.

“Those 1880s-era records are tough to beat, so that’s impressive,” Daryl Ritchison, a WDAY meteorologist, said today.

You are KIDDING. I hope you have warm socks, a fire place and a good book. :)
