REGIONAL The recorded high temperature in Worthington for Feb. 15, 2007 was a mere 4 degrees, the coldest high in history for that date.
Until this year, that is.
The National Weather Service reported a high of minus-13 Monday morning for the previous 24-hour period, easily breaking that 14-year-old Feb. 15 mark. Predictably, a new all-time low temperature of minus-24 was also established, breaking the old record (also set in 2007) of minus-15.
