Cold Weather This AM

Thu Feb 5 13:20:12 PST 2009

Hi Mitchell the name is Thomas. 

CWOP #6582 in the Kathleen area had a min temp of 22 deg. Here in the highlands of south Lakeland I had a min temp of 27 deg. I had a min wind chill temp of 17 deg. Lakeland Linder AP had a minimum temperature of 28 deg. 

Tonight should be just about as cold as last night especially the locations not up on the ridges.

I'll have a statewide tally of minimum temperatures later this evening. Normally I do it in the morning but I've been outside all day in the cold putting up a 1/4 wave coaxial inverted L for 160 meters. 

73 & GUD DX,

  KN4LF... pls forgive me, forgot your name....

  What summary do you have??? I had some people tell me
  this morning at my work place (Publix Pix) they had temps
  as low as 24 AT SUNRISE, and one guy told me he had
  a wind chill of 4 above 0 around 755 am.

  One more blast of cold air coming this way, to bad it's
  a month and a had late for CHRISTMAS....
