iowans waking up sunday morning to windchills as cold as 45 degrees below zero, frostbite happening in ten minutes or less. by monday evening, we re still looking at windchills as cold as 30 degrees below zero. frostbite times at 25 minutes or less. this is by far the coldest caucus on record, most caucus days have been in the 30s and 40s. you do have one that sticks out, 16 degrees back in 2004. now, it looks like this one will be much, much colder, probably not breaking zero degrees in des moines with a high of only minus 2. so very cold. and again factoring windchills, even colder than that. in the evening most of iowans 10 degrees below zero. and then you factor in the windchill, again 30 degrees below zero. and it is not just iowa. you have air temperatures for the upper plains here, the northern plains where we re looking at subzero temperatures lasting through tuesday and wednesday for places like rapid city, omaha, chicago as well.
