The lowest temperature I have found in the "Lower 48" this morning was 42 below zero at West Yellowstone, Mont., which tied the December 8 record. Yesterday they had -45. Here is a look at some frigid spots:
42 below zero in West Yellowstone
35 below in Big Piney, Wyo., breaking the old record of -27.
24 below in Stanley, Idaho
29 below in Jackson, Wyo., just south of the Grand Tetons

Pinedale is in West Central Wyoming, in a valley. However the highest point in Wyoming, Gannett Peak, elevation 13,804 feet, is only 45 air miles to the NE. One of the ladies that posts on this blog reported yesterday that she lived in Pinedale for two years and that it was really beautiful.
