beavis1729 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Just browsing some old winter threads and came across this. Nice work! January 1912 sounds like it was a brutal month in the Upper Midwest...their coldest January on record by about 4 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
