A record-breaking winter chill hit Kansas City earlier this month, with temperatures reaching the single digits.

The National Weather Service said that a bout of cold air, combined with the city’s first flood of snow caused several accidents last week.

The National Weather Service warned locals that although there would not be any more precipitation, the winter chill could drop temperatures below zero degrees.

Pamela Murray from the National Weather Service station in Pleasant Hill said that a “stubborn ridge” of high pressure was created by Typhoon Nuri pushing across the Pacific. The typhoon pushed artic air across the middle of the United States and the winter chill reached as far as the Gulf of Mexico.

The lowest recorded temperature for Kansas City in the month of November was 14 degrees back in 1903; last week’s temperatures broke that record.

With roads getting increasingly slick, your local movers would like to remind you that if you are moving to Kansas City this month, drive with caution and dress warm!
