It rained!

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 05:42 AM

Something remarkable happened in Iowa on Thursday. Precipitation fell in the liquid form at temperatures well above the freezing point! The featured chart displays the times this year where the Ames Airport reported precipitation and the temperature at the time of the observation. Yesterday's event was the first time this year with precipitation at temperatures above 50. The next chance of precipitations looks to come this weekend and again, temperatures will be well above freezing. We must be dreaming!
