A strong arctic high pressure system over British Columbia Canada moved southeast into the northern plains Sunday, the 4th ofJanuary and brought extremely cold temperatures and gusty winds to western and central North Dakota. Temperatures reached 20 to 30 below zero Sunday night and remained between 10 and 20 below zero on Monday. West winds of 10 to 25 mph combined with the subzero temperatures created wind chills ranging from 45 to 58 below zero over western and central North Dakota. The winds also created low visibilties in blowing snow in many areas of the region. Some roads were closed due to the blowing and drifting snow over parts of northern North Dakota. The frigid temperatures lead to power outages and water line breaks in several areas.
