If I heard the news right a few nights ago.They said the average temp in the US was 14* for that day and set a record.Just heard it in passing and not since than.Hope I have that info right.takesiteasy said:This prompted me to look at our records. Longest time below freezing: 98 days!
Longest time below zero: 186 hours (almost 8 days).
But we haven't had cold weather like that for some time. This past stretch has been the coldest I can remember for quite a while.

Anyway it's cold in lots of places where it shouldn't be.
Maybe winter will bring some warm weather.
