Jan. 31 is the anniversary of Seattle's coldest day on record, reaching a frigid 0° in 1950. FOX13

On February 1, 1950, Seattle dropped to 1°. It is a record the city hasn't been close to touching since.

Hitting the teens isn't always a guarantee. You can see how we've fared the last 11 years in the second graphic below. The last time we had temps in the single digits was in February 1989, when we hit 7°. The great folks at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle shared these wonderful photos of the Seattle snow in January 1950. That month in total, a whopping 57.2" of snow fell in Seattle! That is another all-time record. Halfway through the month an atmospheric river dumped warm rain and washed the snow away, but more fell soon after that. The frigid temps froze Gig Harbor and Lake Chelan.

Grad student, 23, killed by speeding Seattle police car: reportsSeattle grad student Jaahnavi Kandula was struck and killed by a speeding police car near the Northeastern University campus where she studied, according to reports. More anti-police news. Gearing the dem base up for riots and murder. So obvious. It's almost as if being brainwashed into hating cops is now starting to backfire on us. Makes me wonder if she was wearing headphones and didn’t hear the sirens. Don’t walk in the city with headphones.
