Yep, there's a single digit temperatue on the January 1-10, 2022 weather report from Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.

Temperatures on Saturday, Jan. 8, froze large sections of the Little Riley Creek. And, it appears that the waste water drain at the Grove Road bridge became a shelter from the storm for at least one outdoor animal, perhaps a cat.
