We're ties at 14 for the days with highs over 32, but you've got 30 more days with lows under 0. <br />I'll have to look up the # of consecutive days with lows under 0, but I think you've got more!...

I was usually colder that him!Erik Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051303728879129181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247474336436209096.post-51157386814126108602014-03-24T11:36:21.917-05:002014-03-24T11:36:21.917-05:00Interesting stats.
