Three new daily records were also set, and two daily records were equaled. The records that were equaled and broken were the result of two warm fronts that passed through the region.
The day the summit reached 35F degree below zero, while cold, was still 12 degrees warmer than the all-time record low temperature of 47F degrees below zero set on January 29th, 1934.
