The temperature finally broke freezing on Thursday ending a modest streak of 9 days below. Earlier in January, we had a streak of 11 days which is the longest such streak this winter season. The featured chart presents the longest consecutive day streak below freezing for each winter since 1893. As with other charts recently featured, the winters of 77 and 78 stand out. The bottom chart shows the period during which the streaks of various lengths occurred. There is an interesting streak of 30 days that lasted from late February to mid March (1960). There is certainly plenty more time for cold weather this winter!
