Temperature Drops to 22 Below Zero

Temperatures dropped to 22 degrees below zero Tuesday morning in Sheridan. It was the coldest temperature recorded since 1995, when the thermometer dropped to 30 below zero. The weather forecast called for eight below, but the temperature dropped well below that in river bottoms. On higher ground, the temperature "warmed up" to around 14 below. Temperatures were still in the single digits as of early afternoon Tuesday. The cold snap came following a snowstorm which dropped as much as 10 inches in some places over the weekend.
