Least Heat Sunset
After a week in the overcast icebox with the temperature never rising above freezing, we reached the coldest day of the long cold snap here. Finally a little sun peaked out yesterday afternoon so I said to myself, why not be stupid and go out for a walk in the park. When else am I going to be able to experience such cold temperatures here? So I went upstairs to where my Mt. Kilimanjaro climb cold weather gear was stored and put it on, which left me looking like a spaceman. As I set out on my spacewalk, the car thermometer read 1F (-17C), because, after all, it was a record setting cold day, but happily, one with a nice sunset.
After this was taken, it just got colder. The low overnight at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport was -17F, breaking the record for the date of -6F that was set in 1903.
