12 degrees at Beaver today was lowest since Feb. 12 of this year, according to Oklahoma Mesonet
The reading of 12 degrees at Beaver this morning (Tuesday, Nov. 27) is the lowest temperature measured by the Oklahoma Mesonet since February 12 of this year, when Jay reached a low of 8 degrees (several other NE OK stations were below 12 degrees as well), said Gary McManus of the Oklahoma Climatological Survey. By the way, that
12 degrees is tied for the 20th coolest reading of 2012. The lowest it goes is the 8 degrees from Jay. Also, there have only been seven days with lows of at least 12 degrees on the Mesonet in 2012 (counting today).
