Bitter cold shatters record

I was correct ... when I said earlier that we were heading for the record ...

Temperatures are climbing this morning after tumbling to a record low before dawn.

Right now it is a torrid 30 degrees Fahrenheit outside

The frigid readings this morning not only set a record for the date, but it marked the earliest ever that the temperature has fallen below 20 degrees Fahrenheit in these parts.

Forecasters say we will moderate slightly over the next two days, but another shot of cold air is headed for the region late Thursday into the weekend.

The unofficial low this morning was 18 degrees Fahrenheit.
That broke the mark of 20 degrees for the date, set in 1951.

The last time it was this cold around here was February 28, 2008 when it dropped to 17 degrees fahrenheit.
