To be at or above freezing

Posted: 25 Jan 2011 05:50 AM

Some lucky parts of Iowa got to experience at or above freezing temperatures on Monday! For Des Moines, the experience was brief for only a few moments in the mid afternoon. The featured chart presents the number of hours at or above freezing for January measured by the Des Moines ASOS. The total number of hours so far this January is one of the smallest since the epic winters during the late 1970s. January 2006 sticks out with the number of hours totalling around 20 days worth of time! The bottom chart presents the hourly frequency of having at or above freezing temperatures. The largest percentages are in mid-afternoon at just under 40%.

Voting:
Good = 18
Bad = 6
