Iowa Sets Weather Records in 2012

Iowa set some weather records last year. The National Weather Service says one is 693 straight days, and counting, without the temp dropping below zero. The last reading of -1 or lower was February 11, 2011. Iowa also recorded the warmest year on record, with the average temp in Des Moines at 56.0 degrees, 5.1 warmer than normal. The old record was 54.5 degrees set in 1931.
