Temp Record Part 2

We broke not one, but two "high low" temperature records in the past 2 days. On Feb 16, the old record was 47, and we set a new "warmest low" record of 48 degrees. Yesterday, Feb 17, the old record was 45, and we broke that record with a low of 46.

And to top off this warm spell, yesterday the high temp tied the record of 62 for the date.

I should note that the most official station of Hood River climate data and records is the OSU Mid-Columbia Ag Research and Extension Center. However, their published data is usually about a week behind. I'm not sure why. It's always struck me as odd that Hood River doesn't have an official NWS reporting station. For now, for up to date information, your choices are the Hood River Weather site, or the IPM site (only the Agrimet sites there are current).

Our station is located about 4 miles from the MCAREC station, so we probably don't differ by all that much.
