Six days in January had minus zero readings

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 1, 2015 - 2:02pm

Raise your hand if you thought January 2015 was colder than most Januarys.

There's lot of hands raised out there and you are correct. According to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer, the average January 2015 daily temperature was 21.6 degrees. The normal January daily temperature is 25.4 degrees.

Even though it was a colder-than-normal January the highs and lows included a 59 degree fluxuation. The high temperature of January was 51 on Jan. 3. The low was seven days later at minus 8. That mark was one of six January days that reached minus zero degrees.

30 candles - or in this case 60 candles on the cake

Okay, it's a slow news day.

Even so, we predict this post will explode on the internet. It's a "selfie" of former Bluffton natives Kristen Lugibihl, Ashley Luginbuhl, Ben Luginbuhl and Ben's wife, Alex Roth.

Since Ben has a zillion Facebook friends, this photo has already landed in practically every Buffton Facebook follower's page anyway. In our way of thinking that puts it in the Public Domain.
