Record-Tying Early Season Cold

October 10 was the last day that our temperatures were above our normal high for this time of year,  after starting October with a significant temperature surplus.  Since that date, for the last 11 days we have dropped below normal and have taken a decidedly cold turn.  Instead of a temperature surplus, we are now running almost a 2 degree deficit, and it looks as though the trend will continue. 

Yesterday's snow squalls and our low temperature this morning were particularly notable.  Today, we tied the record low temperature of 22 degrees for this date, a record that was set initially back in 1952.  The high winds, cold temperatures and snow squalls yesterday were also a sign of things to come.  In the Stateline, we typically see our first snowfall of .1 inch or greater in October.  This week will continue to trend below normal with highs in the 50's and lows in the 30's, although on Monday we could get pretty close to 60!  Have a great start to your week!
