Lmao. Once again. Over their heads. No one argued that the -2.6° in chicago in Jan 2025 was record cold. It was brought up because maxim said it would be a WARM month days before the months began. 

Jan 2026 had impressive cold. It was -5.2° at Detroit and both December and January were solidly colder than avg for even the coldest 30 year normals in the period of record. Jan was -4.4 compared to the entire POR and Dec -2.1 to the entire POR. But thats "seasonal" and "normal". It was such a cold winter in the east that the trolls either disappeared or completely fixated on the west. Thats when you know it WAS cold.

Jan 15-Feb 9 was 3rd coldest on record for Detroit (I usually dont post intra month data sets like that but hey, they do all the time when it's warm!). And thats already the coldest time of the year. 

The warmth of march/April was discussed but apparently not enough for the liking of some which is what started a tantrum because its not discussed enough.

Its like a broken record. All the warmth was in the west this past winter. It did spread east in March. 

I dont know how anyone can say that the winter in the east wasn't cold.

A -2.6 F departure against our warmest 30 year average doesn’t even break top 50 coldest Januaries here LMAO. We’ve become so accustomed to the warmer climate we’re in now that what would’ve been considered a completely average, seasonably cold Jan just half a decade ago is now somehow standout cold to some. Also, as I mentioned in the Great Lakes sub forum, I rarely visit this board because it’s overrun with denialism, clueless takes, and the same braindead fools (many who happen to trolls as well) repeating themselves on loop, downplaying every warm up that’s headed their way. Pair that with people who are either unwilling or incapable of engaging with (because their heads are so far removed from reality) and there’s not much worth sticking around for. I’ve got better things to do than sit around and obsess over ho-hum 2-3 day cool shots that eventually get overshadowed by far more impressive heat pulses/ridges later on, or one slightly below average month followed by a several months of above to well above average temps. I’ve come to terms with this new climate, and I’m at peace (unlike many others on here).

Winter never even arrived for the western half of the country, and the Desert Southwest experienced arguably the most extreme temperature event on record, but these people (if you can even call them people) choose to lose their minds over a largely average winter in the East, and an underwhelming first half of May in terms of cold.

Average winter in the east ? Maybe in the south but not the northeast. 

I had my coldest and snowiest winter here in NYC in a decade. Close to 50 inches of snow with a long lasting snowpack and cold temps. 

Beautiful crisp weather

We have seen this before keeping clocks locked (ST / DST) and i continue to think that the likely outcome is keeping it the way it is.

The only folks I feel sorry for this weekend are those that count on nice beach weather weekends to earn a living.  It is a short season for them and this long holiday weekend was wasted.  The rest of us will survive, it is an annoyance at worst.

They have the rest of the summer to make up for this weekend.  4th of July weekend is another big weekend. 

I got married 4 years ago on Thursday.  Temperature was 96. I went to Cape Cod the weekend after and it was in the 80s. 

This is typical for Autumn

Heavy rain here

Not with kids in rec leagues or other activities! This weather in late May, during Memorial Day weekend, is just absolute trash and depression inducing. 

Of course not . Next week looks much better once we get past this weekend.

Even for Sunday afternoon it appears that the rain will have moved to the east, something I talked about for days. Cloudy and cool but it should be ok to cook outside tomorrow. And Monday afternoon looks ok -- I don't know what Anthony is looking at if he thinks it's going to rain all day. 

Monday looks like the better day but there will still be some showers.  Not a weekend for a BBQ
