On Monday morning, Utah experienced some of the coldest temperatures it has ever seen. It even had the coldest spot in the nation: Peter Sinks, a natural limestone sinkhole near Bear Lake, recorded a low of 60.9 degrees below zero.
A massive snowstorm Sunday and an intense wind chill drastically dropped temperatures to the lowest Cache Valley has seen since 2017. Other areas had lows ranging from 10 to minus 29. Wind chill made those lows feel even colder by up to 25 degrees in certain areas.
Surprisingly though, this isn’t the lowest temperature ever recorded in the area. That record still belongs to a recorded negative 69.3 degrees in February 1985.
The cold caused certain schools to delay by two hours or switch to virtual learning for the day, including Cache County and Box Elder School Districts and Utah State University.
