Cold Streak Ends
THE STREAK IS BROKEN!
THE TEMPERATURE IN LA CROSSE FINALLY GOT UP TO 40 DEGREES YESTERDAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE FIRST OF DECEMBER.
THE OFFICIAL HIGH OF 42 WAS REACHED JUST BEFORE 4:30 IN THE AFTERNOON. THAT ENDED A STRING OF 92 DAYS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IN THE CITY STAYED BELOW 40. ONLY TWO TIMES HAS LA CROSSE GONE LONGER WITHOUT 40-DEGREE WEATHER. THE RECORD OF 101 DAYS WAS SET NINE YEARS AGO.
