February 4th, 1996

It is going to be a steaming hot day all across the state today. Some of you out there will experience the ever elusive triple digit temperature. As Wisconsinites, it is our birthright to complain about the weather whenever it isn't 75 degrees and sunny. As you puddle in the heat and humidity today, do remember that it could be much worse. On February 4th, 1996, it was 55 degrees below zero in Couderay, WI. If that shiver down your spine doesn't console you, try this on for size. On July 13, 1936, it was 114 degrees in the Wisconsin Dells. To give you some idea how hot that is, subtract 14 degrees from today's 100 degree highs and think about how much more comfortable 86 would be. See? It could be worse.
