Nine straight in January

Posted: 27 Jan 2017 05:32 AM

Based on hourly data, the featured chart displays periods lasting longer than four days in January with the temperature at or above 32 degrees. On Wednesday evening, the temperature dipped before freezing for the first time in over nine days for La Crosse, WI. This streak is over double the length in time of the previous two longest streaks. Extensive amounts of clouds during this period helped to keep temperatures warm at night and lack of snow cover helped as well!
