4° on Nov. 13, 2019, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1897. Next is 6° in 1959.
New Bremen’s center stands about 950 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 910 ft to 1,010 ft, a difference of 100 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Lockport Dolomite (dolostone), from the Silurian, 425 to 445 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 425 to 445 million years old. About 16 mi of the line.
Shale, dolostone, limestone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 428 to 445 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in New Bremen reaches Lake Erie by way of Kopp Creek, the Saint Marys and the Maumee: about 240 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
140 miles of the trip are on the Maumee.

New Bremen has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 84° in July; winter nights fall to about 19° in January. A normal year brings about 29 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 40 inches of water.
On November 14 New Bremen normally reaches 51° and falls to 34°. The record high is 71°, in 1956; the record low 12°, in 1986. The most rain on this date, 2.49 in, fell in 1993.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1897 at Celina 3 NE, 12 miles northwest. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
