(FOX NEWS) – An Arctic chill gripping large swaths of the U.S. this week with dangerously cold weather brought record-breaking wind chills that slashed temperatures by as much as 40 degrees in just 30 minutes in the western part of the country.
The polar cold front shattered the previous one-hour temperature drop record in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on Wednesday, with temperatures plummeting from 43 degrees to 3 degrees between 1:05 p.m. and 1:35 p.m., the National Weather Service in Cheyenne said. The previous record was a 37-degree drop in one hour. The agency warned at the time that temperatures were still dropping.
