Almost freezes on August morning – Breaks 100-year-old record.
The temperature in International Falls plunged to 33 degrees F yesterday morning. Or maybe it was 34F. It all depends on who is doing the reporting.
Regardless of which number it was, it shattered the previous record low for the date of 41F.
The previous record was set in 1918, 100 years ago to the day!

How are the farmers getting on with those temps, have they got their summer crops off yet.
Corn and wheat are not going to do very well at all, barley may be OK, as it doesn’t mind a colder temp, but that is crazy.
We had rounds of 3 inch slush balls throughout the day near Yellowstone. Low 50s.
We had rounds of 3 inch slushballs from the sky and highs in the low 50s.
You won’t hear about this, only the near record heat around Europe.
Yeaugh biased NWS again! It probably was 33F, but the NWS only reports the warmest temperature in that area as the overnight low.
So they made 34F as the official record.
great if youre into icy showers i guess?
brrr
