Sioux Falls Tied Lowest High Temp on New Year’s Eve
I'm am obsessive about few things but one of them is getting snow removed from my driveway before our vehicles pack it into a skating rink. Pushing the light layer of snow off my driveway was a short project this morning made longer by the bitter cold.
At about 11:00 A.M. the temperature in my truck was -12. The high temp was -9, according to the National Weather Service.
That tied a record for the coldest high temperature on December 31. The old record was set in 1968. Huron and Mitchell broke records set in 1927.
I set a record for shoveling my driveway and sidewalks in 12 minutes 37 seconds.
