Time below 0

Posted: 27 Feb 2014 05:39 AM

Temperatures are, once again, below zero for much of the state this morning. The featured map presents the amount of time this winter season a location has experienced a sub zero temperature. The amount of time is expressed in units of 24 hour days, not the number of days with a sub zero temperature. If you are curious how these numbers compare to what we typically experience during winter, they are about 1.5 to 3 times larger than average. It is interesting to compare Iowa's totals with those further north of us. It has certainly been bad in Iowa, but it can be so much worse!

Voting:
Good = 41
Bad = 3
Abstain = 3
