Yesterday was the official start of spring with the solar equinox, but did not feel like it as most of the state failed to rise above the freezing temperature mark. The featured chart displays the high temperature for the first day of spring each year for Ames. Only four other years were as cold as yesterday with the most recent year being in 1965. The bottom chart shows the year over year change with this year's change only rivaled by 1911-1912. The cold weather looks to stick around for the at least the next week with highs struggling in the 30s.
