Not by Fire but by Ice THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW! |
Record Lows - 2000 Record
low temperatures in the United States |
| It's official. "Two
months in a row of much-below-average temperatures
resulted in the coldest November-December US temperature
on record," said Jay Lawrimore, chief of the Climate
Monitoring Branch of the National Climatic Data Center.
This broke the old record set in 1898. It was the coldest November-December on record in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri, and the second-coldest such two-month period for Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Forty-three states recorded below-average temperatures. Snow depth records were set in cities ranging from Milwaukee to Amarillo to Marquette, Michigan to Waterloo, Iowa. |
