Record cold temperatures in Iowa

I'm not posting this rebut global warming...but, they will break a 91 year old record...

Be careful walking around today. There may be shards of a broken record lying about after overnight temperatures were expected to dip as low as freezing.

In a sure sign that summer is drawing to a close, forecasters Friday declared a freeze warning from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. today. A frost advisory also was issued for the same seven-hour period.

Sometime overnight, Burlington's 91-year-old record for a low temperature Sept. 15 was expected to break, by either a little or a lot. There's no need to dig out the winter clothes and pack up the summer ones just yet, although sensitive plants should be taken inside or covered at night.

Temperatures are expected to be back in the 80s next week, meaning that today is a preview of things to come.

"It's just going to show we're headed toward fall," said Bill Nichols, Davenport-based National Weather Service meteorologist.

The coldest recorded Sept. 15 temperature in Burlington heading into Friday night was 39 degrees in 1916.

Nichols said temperatures were expected to go as low as 32 degrees in the Burlington area, meaning the record could have been broken by as much as 7 degrees. More likely, a new record would be in the 35- to 36-degree range, which Nichols said was more likely for the area.

A couple of weeks ago the Star reported that August was the dryest on record.
They didnt report, of course, that August was the wettest on record in Sask and NB/NS.
