With temperatures near freezing, many anxious folks were wondering what the low temperature was on Tuesday for Ames. The answer is: "depends on who you ask!" The featured chart presents observation time-series for various weather stations near or within Ames. The Airport sensor is the official temperature for Ames and was much colder than any of the other sites. The hourly observations are presented on the chart and the site actually reported a low of 23 in-between the hourly reports. Other sites hovered just above freezing. This chart will be updated later today once the minute interval data from the airport sensor becomes available. Also, the NWS COOP site reports once daily and is represented by the short line. Temperatures are colder this morning, so we will have to see how much damage these two days cause the vegetation

Update: Sorry, the one minute interval data from the airport came in mostly missing for this time period.

Voting:
Good = 21
Bad = 5
