Since the bitter cold and blizzard around Christmas time, much of Iowa has enjoyed rather nice temperatures. Burlingon, in far SE Iowa, has had a minimum daily high temperature of 28 degrees since the 28th of December. The featured chart presents the yearly minimum high temperatures over the period from then through 10 January. The 2022-2023 value doesn't make the top 10 warmest and is even comparable with two of the recent three years. It is interesting to note some of the years in the top 10 coldest as many of those were epic winters, since 1911-1912, 1981-1982 and 1978-1979. Given our ongoing La Nina, it is unlikely for this winter to experience such sustained cold as well.
