While most of the state experienced sub-32°F low temperatures over this past weekend, the Des Moines Airport and a handful of other isolated locations failed to do so. It is getting very late in the season to not have a sub freezing level temperature! The featured chart presents the period each year between the last spring season and first fall season sub 32°F temperature for Des Moines. The right hand side panel lists out the earliest and latest dates for each. The record shown for Des Moines is 13 November.
