we set a new record

On Saturday October 9 Dubuque set a new record for highest temp 85 degrees. The old record was 31 years old. I must say this feat was amzing considering that last year it was snowing and very cold. I remember this well because my brother got married outside. So far the heat is sticking around but not sure for how long. Time will tell I guess in the midwest you can not take any type of weather for granted.
