Record Cold Start To October

We found an interesting news headline on the Sioux Falls National Weather Service office. It talked about a record cold start to October. Most of us probably figured it was somewhere near that, but it has been confirmed. So far, including yesterday, the average has been bumped up to 40.97 degrees.





Here is how things stack up for Sioux Falls, Huron, and Sioux City:

The big stats, to me, although Sioux Falls is pretty imressive with the coldest start ever... are in Huron and Sioux City. Both of them are breaking records set all the way back in 1925! Thankfully we have a much better start to the pheasant hunting opener.
