RICHMOND: 270 STRAIGHT HOURS BELOW FREEZING (AND STILL COUNTING)
(Richmond, IN)--Monday is Groundhog Day. And, with the winter weather we’ve had lately, a bad prediction might land a local groundhog on somebody’s grill Monday night. Not really, but here’s a look at just how miserable the winter weather has been lately. The last time our temperature was above freezing was early in the morning of January 22. As of 6 o’clock Monday morning, that’s 270 consecutive hours below 32 degrees in Richmond. Lows temperatures were below zero for five of six days last week. Sunday’s high of 23 was the warmest – with warm in quotations – temperature we’ve had in the last nine days.
