MONROE - Area residents are used to layering themselves with warm clothing and winter gear, no strangers to cold weather. But for those of you wondering if the past few months have been colder than usual, it's not in your head: Since December 2013, Monroe has set record lows for 18 days, 10 of which occurred in January alone. Less than halfway through February, Monroe has had 10 days this month when the minimum temperature has reached or fallen below zero.
