Old Time Cold

This knitted scarf depicts the declining frequency of very cold winter days at Indian Lake, NY. Each square is a February day since 1933, and those embellished with blue are days of -20F or colder. The Adirondack region does not see cold days like this as often as we used to. Inspired by our friend, colleague, and climate scientist Curt Stager who put this graphic out to the world with a challenge that it be made into art. Scarf is limited to February data and begins in 1933 only because of available yarn.
