    Are we gonna talk about how Fairbanks had their coldest DJFM on record, and shattered their coldest March on record by over 3 degrees?

    Some relief this week for much of the Mountain West.

    Prisoner of the moment. One season does not mean everything.

    Again, the overall pattern is not unprecedented, it's just amplified. See previous winters cited, then add on some AGW. In addition, it makes sense from a climatological perspective as the persistent pattern also produced Juneau, Alaska's snowiest winter on record, one of the coldest on record for Fairbanks, and some of the coldest temps in Canada in several decades.

    It seems like this pattern has been a bit more extreme version of what occurred in 1933-34 and 1980-81, both also -ENSO winters. 1933-34 remains Denver's warmest winter on record.

    Picked up 2.5" this am, over performer.

    Looks like a big cooldown and chance of some snow over the weekend now.

    Here's some other locations with long term records. All of these have far less UHI than Phoenix, SLC, or Vegas. Santa Fe: 4 (but missing a ton of years prior to 1997) Roswell: 5 Las Vegas, NM: 3 Gallup, NM: 4 (records only back to 1973) Mesa Verde NP: 2 Imperial, CA: 3 Barstow, CA: 5 Blythe, CA: 2 Winslow, AZ: 5 Prescott, AZ: 3 The mean is around 3-4. Clearly Phoenix's 7 is an outlier, as asserted.

    Flagstaff had some very hot summers in the late 1800s: https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?az3010 It's very possible that their was a thermometer is those summers, though 1898 in particular was hot throughout the region. But those are the official records for Flagstaff per the WRCC.

    And again, over the same period Flagstaff has experienced 2 record warm months to Phoenix's 7. Yes, the Southwest has been warming faster than most places recently. And yes also, Phoenix is an extreme outlier in this trend. Yet it's always the one place pointed out on here with all the records.

    DEN picked up 8.5" of snow yesterday, putting them at 21.2" on the season and officially out of contention for least snowy winter in Denver records. Though it would be lowest in the airport era if no more snow fell.
  12. frontranger8
    Wow, snow is just banding over your area now. Bet you end up with at least 8". Long live March!
  13. frontranger8
    About 3" here with .35" of liquid precip so far...very wet. Snow has been falling at 33 degrees all afternoon.
  14. frontranger8
    Hoping...
  15. frontranger8
    Picked up .08" of rain today. First precip in awhile...hopefully more later this week.
  16. frontranger8
    Looks like we'll be lucky to see a half inch tomorrow...but you never know.

    Some models are saying a little snow for Denver metro coming up, especially southern portions.
  18. frontranger8
    Models are showing a nice little burst of snow during Broncos game today. Nothing like what they're seeing in New England, but could make things a little more interesting.
  19. frontranger8
    That said, I think the south metro like Castle Rock and Parker may do ok tonight.
  20. frontranger8
    At the same time, Juneau hits -10, equalling coldest temp since the 1970s. And: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/yukon-energy-blackouts-extreme-cold-9.7026976 These things aren't one way.
  21. frontranger8
    For most PNW stations, December has seen around 1-2F warming since 1940s. February hasn't warmed at all. Summer warming has been much more pronounced.

    Yep. Canada will explode over the next week or so, though.
  24. frontranger8
    Should be noted that the first graph posted is only a small part of the Arctic.
  25. frontranger8
    Models have trended more bullish overnight. 3-6" looks like a good bet for most in Denver metro, possibly 8" or so for places like Lakewood and Littleton.
