COLD STREAK

February 19, 2010 by Brad

La Crosse Is Creeping Close To A Record Number Of Days Below 40 Degrees

THE LA CROSSE AREA SHOULD GET HIGHS IN THE 30'S FOR ANOTHER FEW DAYS...BUT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE SEEN 40 ON THE THERMOMETER.
THAT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE DECEMBER FIRST. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS LA CROSSE IS IN ITS 4TH LONGEST PERIOD OF BELOW-40 WEATHER ON RECORD. THE STREAK WILL REACH 80 DAYS IF WE DON'T GET TO 40 THIS AFTERNOON. IN ORDER TO BREAK THE COLD WEATHER RECORD SET IN 2001, THE TEMPERATURE WOULD HAVE TO STAY BELOW 40 FOR ANOTHER THREE WEEKS, WELL INTO MARCH.
