Record Warmth Here, Record Cold out West!

As noted in a previous post, Rockford set a new record high on Monday of 93 degrees. While we are baking in an unseasonably warm and humid airmass, the western states are wishing they were so lucky! On Monday morning. 0.2" of snow fell on Salt Lake City, UT. This is the latest that measurable snow has ever fallen in that city! The previous record was May 18th when 1/2" of snow fell back in 1977. No snow in Sacramento, CA, but boy was it cold over the weekend! It was 45 degrees on Sunday morning, matching a record set back in 1960. On Saturday morning in nearby Redding, CA, the low was 34 degrees. This broke a record of 39 degrees set back in 1960!  --TS
