February 2021 Arctic Blast and Deep Freeze

After a warm start to February, an arctic airmass invaded the state starting on February 9th. Initially, this arctic air only impacted portions of northeast and east central New Mexico, but with time, the front pushed farther and farther into the state, eventually spilling into the Rio Grande Valley. In addition to the long duration of sub-freezing temperatures, dangerously cold wind chills were also noted across much of central and eastern New Mexico. The graphs below note the consecutive hours below freezing, and below zero, as well as the wind chill for select central and eastern New Mexico locations. Click on any graph for a larger view.
