-42F without windchill at Drummond Island Mi this morning 1/26. Then when it gets up to 0F it feels downright balmy!
From EUP News.
My network of folks in the EUP relayed to me: -42 Drummond Island (see pic). -39 5 miles east of Pickford. -37 in Barbeau. -36 Sugar Island. -32 Dafter. -28 Rudyard!
-Meteorologist Jim Lehocky


I remember when we lived in Upstate NY, it got down to -30* and my in-laws just told me to keep my son inside until the temp went up.

The island is one of the few places on Earth with this environment.

Fortunately. It’s still plenty cold in the UP of Michigan. Almost -20 this morning.

Now that’s dang cold, right there. I’ve been at -42 degrees, and it is not a friendly place. And yes, when it warms up to zero, everyone breaks out the T-shirts and flip flops ’cause it feels so hot. I’m not sure if Jack Daniels will freeze at -40; I know it does at -60.
