Abstract
Using a five category classification scheme of mean monthly temperatures, the long-term ( 1820-1974) relationships between Minneapolis-St. Paul successive months' temperatures were analyzed . Results show predominance of two-month persistence over two-month breaks in classification . Strong above norma11 and below normal persistence tendencies are revealed, particularly in summer and early fall sequences. In contrast, two month breaks in classification appear in spring and fall sequences. This emphasizes the uneven progression of warming (cooling) that occasionally occurs between winter (summer) and summer (winter). Overall, strongest month-to-month association was for August-September, weakest for April-May .
