GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — After a bitterly cold day Thursday, we told you to expect even colder temperatures early Friday morning — and Mother Nature delivered.
Grand Rapids officially dropped to -13° at 6:53 A.M., tying the record low for February 20th, previously set in 1966.
This comes a day after the mean temperature (high + low divided by 2) in G.R. was only -1°, marking the first time that has happened since February 5, 2007. In fact, it was only the 30th mean temperature below zero in the last 50 years.
