It’s time for my weekly weather quiz question. Let’s make this one local. What is the coldest temperature ever recorded for Eugene? Your answer should also contain the date on which it occurred.

A trough of low pressure (See “U” shape offshore) is moving Eastward away from us, but another will follow close behind it so don’t look for any dramatic changes in our weather patterns. A cold front will be moving through Friday, then a little warming next weekend.
