Eastern Idaho is colder than Antarctica this week. How long will it last? – East Idaho News
IDAHO FALLS — Warm up your car extra early this week because eastern Idaho is in for quite the chill.
Cold temperatures on Monday morning prevented cars from starting, froze the roads, and encouraged Idahoans to wear all of their extra layers.
The coldest temperature in Idaho Falls was around 6:55 a.m. at -18 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, and felt like -32 degrees with the wind chill.
Rexburg was even colder, with its lowest temperature around 8 a.m. at -18 degrees, but with a windchill of -37 degrees.
Pocatello was a bit warmer, but not exactly sun-tanning weather. At 7:50 a.m., the Gate City saw temperatures of -11 degrees. With wind chill, it was -23 degrees.
Driggs recorded the coldest weather in the area with a whopping -33 degrees without windchill at 8 a.m. With windchill, radars recorded their temperatures at -46 degrees around 7:40 a.m.
These temperatures are much colder than Antarctica, whose lowest temperature was a crisp 14 degrees on Monday morning. It should be noted, it is currently summer there.
When will it get warmer?
According to Audra Moore, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pocatello, the light at the end of this chilly tunnel is pretty far.
“(Monday morning) is definitely the coldest morning that we’re expecting,” says Moore. “(Tuesday) will be a couple degrees ‘warmer’ but not by much.”
The National Weather Service expects to see temperatures around and above 10 degrees by Friday but another cold front is expected over the weekend.
“Our morning lows are going to just kind of very gradually warm up through the rest of this week. Now that said, a lot of us are probably going to be a couple degrees on either side of zero basically through Thursday morning,” says Moore. “Friday morning looks like about the soonest we get close to the Idaho Falls area finally getting back up to about 10 degrees in the morning.”
The National Weather Service has also extended the Extreme Cold Weather Warning through Tuesday morning.

How to keep you and your pets safe
Moore says it’s important to limit outdoor exposure only to when absolutely necessary, and if it is, make sure to dress for the weather.
“If you don’t have to be outside for any length of time, don’t. For those who can’t get inside, try to check out some public areas like libraries, or malls, or someplace where you can be inside for a little while,” says Moore. “If you do have to go out and about, you have to make sure to wear multiple layers…and of course remembering to bring in your pets. Limit their time spent outside, that’s a big thing.”
If you have to drive, Moore recommends wearing snow pants in case you have to get out of your car for an extended period of time and making sure to bring extra layers and plenty of food and water.
“If you’re going to be driving, cars don’t like the cold either. So always make sure you’ve got an extra blanket in your car, some extra water, and some snacks,” says Moore. “Just incase your car would stall somewhere and you have to wait for someone to come pick you up, or get towed somewhere.”

GROTON, Connecticut — Last week, the future USS Idaho nuclear submarine was delivered to the U.S. Navy at its facility in Groton, Connecticut.
The nuclear-powered submarine is set to be commissioned in spring 2026, sailing the world for the next 30 years.
Before it commissions this upcoming spring, the USS IDAHO crew will undergo training and mission exercises.
Virginia-class submarine program manager Captain Mike Hollenbach comments on how driven Idaho is in the military space.
“Idaho represents the hard work and tenacity of shipbuilders, industry partners and Navy personnel to deliver the best undersea warfighting platform to the fleet.”
The future Idaho submarine will be the fifth Navy ship to be named for the state of Idaho. The first one, a wooden-hulled storeship, was commissioned in 1866.
PAUL, Idaho (KUTV) — Two bus drivers and four students were transported to hospitals in various conditions after a head-on collision between two school buses in southern Idaho.
Officials with the Idaho State Police said they responded to a crash near Paul in Minidoka County early Monday morning, extricating a driver from a bus.
Both drivers were airlifted to a hospital, and four injured students were transported by ambulance or car to local hospitals for treatment. Police believe the students’ injuries are not life-threatening.

Police said the crash occurred just before 6:15 a.m. on State Highway 25. There were a total of 17 students on the two buses, all of whom have been reunited with their families.
Officials did not release information on where the students attend school.
The crash comes just days after two school buses were hit by a pickup truck in central Utah, sending 18 people to the hospital and resulting in the death of the truck driver.
The majority of the Wasatch Academy students in the Utah crash have since returned from the hospital, according to school officials.
Utah officials believe the three-vehicle crash may have been caused by fatigued driving. The cause of the Idaho crash is still under investigation.
