After spending most of the year comparing this year to the 1930s for hot temperatures, we now have a comparison for cold temperatures as well! At least two locations in Western Iowa reported a low temperature of 12 degrees on Sunday morning. This is the coldest temperature reported this early since 6 October 1935 when 12 degrees was reported as well. The featured chart presents the yearly minimum fall temperature reported prior to 8 October and the first date that a sub 13 degree temperature was reported for the fall for anywhere in the state. Typically, this cold of weather arrives in November.
