Shhhh, the Media doesn't want us to see this - "Some spots were 25-30 below normal, breaking record-cold lows. Some records over 100 years old!"

100-year-old cold records broken, but nary a word. "An incredible departure from normal happened with yesterday's lows out there," says reader Ralph Fato. "Some spots were 25-30 below normal, breaking record-cold lows. Some records over 100 years old!"

"Here's all the records from past 2 days for the U.S. Even Texas got in on the record-low action."

Total Records: 787

Rainfall: 28

Snowfall: 38

High Temperatures: 2

Low Temperatures: 189

Lowest Max Temperatures: 513

Highest Min Temperatures: 17

Thanks to Ralph Fato for this info

Note: In case this info somehow magically goes bad in the future, here's a list of all the record lows, along with the date and thermometer reading of the previous record low.
