Subfreezing temperatures abounded throughout the state early Monday.

It was 23 in Bend. Twenty-five in Baker City. Twenty-seven in Ashland. And 31 in Forest Grove.

But those temperatures are downright balmy when compared to one record from this date, several decades ago.

The National Weather Service says the coldest temperature recorded in Oregon came Feb. 10, 1933, in Seneca.

The recording?

Negative 54 degrees.

Only 10 other states hold colder all-time minimum temps, according to the weather service.

In keeping with its statewide record, Seneca’s Monday morning temps were plenty frosty.

The small eastern Oregon city’s current temperature, at the time of this posting: 11 degrees.
