Newsflash: It's Cold

The -15 F recorded at Kenton is the Mesonet's coldest observation since
the same site recorded a -19 in February of 1996.

This morning's low temperatures helped some counties observe their
coldest Dec 8th temps on record. Here's a table with this morning's
Mesonet observations and the previous record:
