KFGO Meteorologist Tom Szymanski joins IT2 to give us some historical perspective on this long run of cold days.
Hint: It’s not good. But, if you like breaking records, you’re in luck.
Tuesday, March 5, 2019 marks the 57th day of below freezing temperatures in a row. Putting us in the top 10 of coldest streaks to date.
And, as we think about historic March events though, Tom shares about the March 1966 blizzard.
The iconic photo of North Dakota DOT employee, Bill Koch (below), standing next to a set of power lines, was taken by fellow ND DOT employee Ernest Feland on 9 March 1966. This photo and many others which were taken by Bill and Ernest in the days following the storm are available in the North Dakota State Historical Society and NOAA/NWS archives.
