2012 setting records for warmth
A very warm spring set the tone for the rest of the year in northeast Wisconsin, and some cities are seeing records fall.
Meteorologist Jeff Last of the National Weather Service in Green Bay says Appleton started the day with an average temperature of 49.5 degrees for 2012. He says that's 0.1 of a degree above a record set in 1987. Last says Green Bay's average temperature this year is nearly 51 degrees, and that will set a record.
Last says many people enjoyed the warm temperatures, but they also had a downside. Frosts during the spring cost cherry and apple growers much of their crop, because blossoms that formed too early, later froze.
