72° on Nov. 11, 2022, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1894. Next is 71° in 1953.
St. Nazianz’s center stands about 860 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 800 ft to 1,020 ft, a difference of 220 ft: rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Silurian, undivided (dolostone), from the Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 39×. 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, 422 to 445 million years old. About 23 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in St. Nazianz reaches Lake Michigan by way of Mud Creek and the Manitowoc: about 30 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of St. Nazianz; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
St. Nazianz has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 82° in July; winter nights fall to about 10° in January. A normal year brings about 44 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 34 inches of water.
On November 14 St. Nazianz normally reaches 45° and falls to 29°. The record high is 67°, in 1958; the record low 11°, in 1996. The most rain on this date, 0.88 in, fell in 1957.
