A few notes from far and wide...
> On the summits of Big Island in Hawaii, the high wind warning has been cancelled. However, the summits are still covered by snow and ice! Yes, that happens occasionally in Hawaii.
> Churchill, Manitoba is on the shore of giant Hudson Bay in Canada. They bill themselves as the Polar Bear Capitol of the world. This afternoon, it was 31 below zero there with visibility only 1/2 mile in blowing snow and a wind chill of 66 below! Surely, even the polar bears are shivering just a bit.
> At 4 PM, CST, the warmest spot in the "Lower 48" was San Diego with 75.
> Atop Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, the temperature was in the 40s late last night and yesterday's warmth brought some melting. But this afternoon, it was 10 degrees with NW winds averaging 79 MPH and gusting to 92 MPH.
> USA cold spots this morning included Simms, Montana with 43 below zero and, in Alaska, Chandalar Lake had 60 below with a wind chill of 90 below!
> In NW Canada, Mayo, in the Yukon Territory, it was also 60 below zero with a very high barometer of 31.04 inches.
