A friend and colleague passed along a couple of links to some research being done by a few students at the University of Missouri concerning the "Blue Norther" of November 11th, 1911. An impressive cold wave pushed into Missouri, causing 24-hour temperature drops of 60-80°F, with many locations falling 30-50°F in less than two hours!
I love going back and looking at past weather events, so I was delighted to look into this for the first time. For more information on this fascinating case study, check out these links:
