An approaching arctic high pressure system over southern Canada and exiting low pressure system over the northern plains broughtextremely cold temperatures and bitter wind chills to western and central North Dakota. Ambient temperatures ranging 20 to 35 below zero combined with northwest winds to 30 mph resulted in widespread wind chill factors of 40 to 65 below zero. In southwest North Dakota, in Adams County, icy roads and reduced visibilities in blowing snow resulted in a fatality (indirect) when a 35 year old male lost control of his vehicle and rolled several times. The driver was ejected from the vehicle. The arctic high pressure system settled over the region late Wednesday morning on the 28th of January and brought diminishing winds to the area.
