... Very cold temperatures this morning...

Temperatures fell into the single digits in many locations this
morning... with a few spots below zero. Some exceptions in south
central Ohio and northeast Kentucky only reached the lower teens due
to cloud cover. Although winds were light... wind chill values still
managed to reach between 0 and 10 below zero in some locations. Many
factors can lead to the large variations of the local
temperatures... including... differences in the air mass... cloud
cover... terrain... snow cover... nearby land usage and
characteristics... and the exposure to wind... nearby buildings
and bodies of water.

In some locations... this morning was the coldest in nearly three
years. Here are statistics from our three main climate sites.

In Cincinnati... the low this morning was 3 degrees. The record low
is -3 degrees in 1962 and 1917. This was the coldest low temperature
since it was -8 degrees on January 22 2011.

In Columbus... the low this morning was 11 degrees. The record low is
-2 degrees in 1962. This was the coldest low temperature since it
was 8 degrees on February 1 2013.

In Dayton... the low this morning was 1 degree. The record low is -3
degrees in 1960. This was the coldest low temperature since it was
