ESCANABA - The arrival of the "Siberian Express" over much of the Great Lakes region during the night has caused temperatures to plummet.
According to weather officials, the "Siberian Express" is an Arctic air mass moving down from parts of northern Ontario.
Escanaba Water Treatment Plant officials said winds were reported this morning at 13 miles per hour, with gusts up to 35 miles per hour.
Combined with a -3 degree temperature reading at 8 a.m., the wind chill factor was recorded at 23 below zero.
In Menominee, the mercury dipped to -8 below zero, according to Kari Fleegel of the National Weather Service in Negaunee,
Fleegel said the current weather pattern is anticipated to remain in the area through Sunday evening before moving eastward.
"Saturday we are looking for similar conditions, possibly even colder as this mass of Arctic air moving down from northern Ontario passes through," said Fleegel."
