Last week, I featured some extreme weather events on Christmas Day. With the start of the New Year, here are some extreme weather records that occurred on Jan. 1 across the country.
One of the warmest temperatures occurred back in 1897 on Jan. 1. For example, at La Cross, Wis., the high temperature on that date was a very mild 57 degrees, well above average for the date. In Bangor, Maine, it was 54 degrees Jan. 1, 1925. The normal high for Bangor on Jan. 1 is 29 degrees.
