You can tell your grandchildren you remember when it was 19 below zero in the winter of '14

Posted by Paula Scott on Tuesday, February 18, 2014

Nineteen degrees below zero.

Remember to tell your grandchildren this story some day. Perhaps they will believe you. The low temperature reading for Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2014. in the Bluffton-Ada area reached 19 degrees below zero, according to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.
And, it was one of seven of out eight days in a row with a minimum daily temperature of below zero.

The maximum temperatures during that eight-day stretch weren't much to brag about either. The high was only 30 on Wednesday, Feb. 13.

To view the daily weather summary for February, open the attachment at the bottom of this story.
