According to the Lamar Weather Service, through University Extension, the temperatures were frigid during the duration, with low readings of 6.0 on the 23rd, 3.9 on the 24th, 1.0 on the 25th and -6.7 on the 26th. The recorded highs during this period show 8.4 on the 24th, 13.1 on the 25th, 19.4 on the 26th and it finally broke the freezing mark on January 27, with a reading of 32.6 degrees. The City of Lamar was kept busy throughout this time and remain that way as they attempt to clean up the massive piles of snow around the town. While some schools remained closed on Wednesday, Jan. 28, Lamar R-1 and the Lamar Career and Technical Center returned to regular classes.
