75° on Nov. 14, 1999, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1956. Next is 70° in 1990.
Haney’s center stands about 1,070 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 680 ft to 1,140 ft, a difference of 460 ft: hilly country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Prairie du Chien Group (dolostone), from the Early Ordovician, 471 to 487 million years old.
The section below crosses 6 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 30×. 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: Early Ordovician, 471 to 487 million years old. About 14 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Cambrian, 487 to 542 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Middle Cambrian to Cambrian, 487 to 521 million years old. About 0.9 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 0.7 mi of the line.
Sandstone, shale. Age: Middle Cambrian, 497 to 521 million years old. About 0.2 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

A raindrop that lands in Haney reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Kickapoo, the Wisconsin and the Mississippi: about 1,660 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Haney; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Haney has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 83° in July; winter nights fall to about 7° in January. A normal year brings about 38 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 38 inches of water.
On November 14 Haney normally reaches 46° and falls to 27°. The record high is 75°, in 1999; the record low 6°, in 1996. The most rain on this date, 0.57 in, fell in 1994.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1956 at Gays Mills, 5 miles north, 380 ft lower. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
