38F and rain. Bleh.

for the stations that have them in their period of record, some of those dust bowl-era records are gonna be tough to beat. I suspect we will do so eventually, though.

53/38 is climo for places along the coastal plain about 200 miles to the south. I guess that is largely our future.

lookin like 61/41 for the penultimate day of this peak-of-winter month.

unfortunately we're due for some summer blow torches. DCA (amazingly) hasn't hit 100 since 2016.

I lived in Santiago, Chile one summer (so winter for them), and this was basically how the weather was. Highs 8-12C and lows 2-5C.

DCA hit 60F - 7th 60+ temp recorded this month. 18 days have been 50+ and we've had no highs in the 30s. lol

yeah maybe it's because i was much younger, but in the early 2000s he seemed pretty reasonable. It's quite a shame.

Yeah I feel like Mount Mitchell in NC is similar to what you'd find in Ontario or something.

the high elevations of NC basically have a similar climate to areas hundreds of miles to the north. It's wild.

LOL there is a WSW as far south as Austin TX for icing.

DonS in the NYC forum posted that NYC has recorded 32 consecutive above normal days, setting a new record. Insane.

we really might get shut out this winter. incredible.

We put up >10+ days like Steph Curry drains 35ft 3 pointers.

2012 March was one of those "it's so warm right now and it's not supposed to be that this feels unsettling" moments. I was on a business trip in Chicago and I got up for an early morning run (around 7am) and it was in the upper 60s out. Like mid fuckin summer.

Another day, another above freezing low at DCA.

yeah only your typical lake effect bullseye areas have seen anything noteworthy. And of course THAT is being driven by anomalously warm lake water temps.

I'd be curious to know how extensively these models are trained on historical data and maybe analogs just don't work anymore?

again... weirdest winter ever. Basically pretty warm wire-to-wire, but the biggest snowfall in NYC history and the coldest temp in 22 years. Sure.

it's just... mild. Like, you walk outside, and it doesn't feel that cold. It's not like it's been 70+ (although we've had 6 days of 60s this month in DC). I think you are seeing the same thing in the urban areas all up and down I-95. There just isn't much cold air around, so at night, the UHI basically dominates. Sure, your typical areas will get their radiational cooling. But we're talking 20s at night - not exactly frigid. I think the most disconcerting thing is that literally after a frontal passage, it STILL struggles to get below freezing. WTF?

That really is something. Now we almost never get freezes before Nov 15th...

And it's not like it's been super hot, where we had days of 70s etc. It just hasn't been cold. Down in DC it feels like a typical winter in maybe Charlotte, NC. Lows 35-40, highs in the low 50s. Actually pretty unsettling tbh.

UVA won this game Never give up.

Is my count right that the city has only had 3 days so far this month of 32 or below? That's insane.

ugghhhhh.... at least we got about a foot in the city. F that storm.
