Record temps in Minot
Whitney Pandil-Eaton/MDN --
Shane Arra, a recent transplant from Arkansas, is seen here playing Frisbee with Cody, her 6-month-old German shepherd, Friday afternoon at the dog park.
There was a flurry of activity on the sidewalks, walking and bike trails, and in the parks in Minot as adults and children with the day off from school took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather Friday to complete outdoor chores or simply enjoy what could be one of the last summer-like days of 2009. The temperatures were so unseasonable in fact that two North Dakotan cities recorded new record high temperatures and two others tied their respective records. With temperatures reaching 75 degrees on Friday, Minot easily surpassed the previous record of 70 degrees, set in 1949, while Dickinson eclipsed their 1980 record of 72 degrees by hitting 76 later in the afternoon. Tying their respective record high temps — both set in 1954 — was Bismarck at 72 degrees and Williston at 69 degrees. With several of the parking lots full of cars, Oak Park seemed to be the most popular destination in Minot.
