Monday morning saw our coolest temperatures of the season so far with some very limited areas seeing temperatures at or just below freezing. The featured chart presents an IEM computed analysis of the areal fraction of the state that has experienced a temperature below 32 degrees prior to a given date. 2012 has yet to appear on this chart as the freeze area was negligible yesterday. The longer term averages are computed over two periods for comparison. The two hot and dry summers of 1988 and 1936 are shown as well for comparison. It is certainly the time of year to start seeing freezing temperatures in the state.

Good = 39
