Biggest Step Down

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 05:45 AM

The coldest air of the season arrived this past weekend with low temperatures in the 20s for most of the state. This bested the previously coldest temperature by around 10 degrees. The featured chart presents the largest "step down" in low temperature each fall season. The "step down" being the amount a new daily low temperature was colder than the previous fall minimum for that year. Rewording, if our current fall minimum temperature is 20 degrees, we probably would not expect to see a sub zero temperature until we had another day down to 10 degrees first.

Voting:
Good = 15
Bad = 8
Abstain = 10
