What's the temperature in Ada?

All depends on which one
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, December 21, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
Just checking Ada weather about 11 p.m. last night and found I'd rather live here than in Ada, Minn.

Our temp was 28 degrees while Ada, Minn., folks were reeling with a temp of 13 degrees and facing a winter storm warning.

Adak (they spell it wrong) Alaska, was warmer than here, 35 compared to 28.

And, there is an Adah, Pa., but they spell it wrong, too

There is also an Ada in Kansas, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and West Virginia.
