Minneapolis was featured last week for tying the latest date into the winter season it has gone before hitting a zero degree or lower temperature. The featured image looks at the minimum temperature to date for Des Moines. This year is with a handful of others to not see a sub zero temperature by this date. The warmest minimum temperature for the entire winter was zero for 1930-1931, so there is a chance we could best that mark this year. There is plenty of winter to go yet.
