I didn't think it was all that warm yesterday but we broke another record.

The temperature hit 71 degrees at 4:57 PM yesterday afternoon in La Crosse.  That beat the old record of 68 set in 1995.

And that's not all.  The low temperature, yesterday morning, was 44 degrees.  That tied the previous record warm minimum temperature of 44 set in 1898.

1898 is the year the first automobile was sold (March 24th) and the U.S. Assay Office opened in Deadwood (April 20).
