Chicago WX Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The top 5 coldest Januaries on record for the state of Indiana according to NCDC (since 1895). 1) 10.8º in 1977 2) 12.1º in 1918 3) 15.1º in 1940 4) 16.3º in 1912 5) 17.5º in 1979 January 1977 is pretty special. Most sites in central and northern Indiana didn't record a temperature about 32º the entire month. Even way down south in Evansville, as shown in the chart, only seven days had a max temperature above freezing. A sampling of five sites for each January below.

beavis1729 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Wow...an average low of 0 in LAF in January 1977. Very nice. Good stats, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Great work! How do you find state rankings of coldest/warmest months on NCDC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Great work! How do you find state rankings of coldest/warmest months on NCDC? Michigan: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/cag3/mi.html You can do temps or precip by month, season, year, etc. Using the "Table" portion will order it by rank or year.

Jonger Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Never knew where these charts came from..... Our state has such a HUGE variation from the top to the bottom... I guess that just shows trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get ripped a new one if you post that chart you know where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get ripped a new one if you post that chart you know where I have a customer who lives in Midland who has recorded the high and low in his backyard for the past 60 years. He was a mathematician at Northwoods university. I would be interested in seeing his records, saw him today and hes not long for the world... Would be a major shame if they got tossed after he expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a major shame if they got tossed after he expires. Those would be awesome to see. This is now, I cant believe it, my 18th winter of measuring snow imby (and 13th year recording liquid precip). Its awesome to see trends over the years, the good, the bad, etc....but I never do temps. Too time consuming or just lazy, I just use DTW and nearby wunderground stations. And yes sorry to go OT Tim....as usual...great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
