First 70

Posted: 09 Apr 2014 05:39 AM

Today is the long anticipated day of very warm weather with highs expected into the 70s for much of the state. The featured map presents an analysis of the average first date of 70+ degrees each year and those locations that have already hit that level this year denoted with a x. The eastern half of the map is where the persistent cold and heavy snowfall has occurred this year and you can see how far behind they are with hitting their first 70, by about two weeks. Hitting 70 today would be about normal for areas in the teal color. Minneapolis would be one such area.

Voting:
Good = 30
Bad = 4
Abstain = 3
