Oh ok. So how often do you see a map like this in springtime? http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/cag3/cag3.html

We had the 2nd earliest occurance last year- June 09, 2011.

I think we're going to be breaking lots of heat records this spring and summer yet again, so I'll be updating them all by editing my heat post above, rathering than cluttering the forum with new posts every time. Also, I have a feeling that this is one of the top five warmest astronomical winter periods ever for BWI- does anyone know where it ranks?

Some precip records for BWI: Wettest September ever 13.32" in 2011. August-September 2011- first ever back-to-back months with double-digit precip totals. 9/30/10 - 6.02 inches of rain, setting a daily and monthly record. This was also the 2nd wettest day recorded in BWI ever. I'll leave the snow records (or lack thereof) to someone else, they're easy pickings :-)

Heat records at BWI since March 2010: Daily records: 1 record high broken and 1 tied in April 2010 3 record highs broken and 1 tied in June 2010 4 record highs broken in July 2010 1 record high tied in September 2010 1 record high broken in March 2011 1 record high broken and 1 tied in April 2011 1 record high broken and 1 tied in May 2011 3 record highs broken in June 2011 2 record highs broken and 1 tied in July 2011 1 record high broken in December 2011 1 record high tied in April 2012 1 record high tied in June 2012 1 record high tied and 2 broken in July 2012 (1 replaced a record originally broken in July 2010) 2 record high minimums broken in May 2010 2 record high minimums tied in June 2010 1 record high minimum broken in July 2010 1 record high minimum broken and 1 tied in October 2010 1 record high minimum broken in February 2011 1 record high minimum broken in April 2011 1 record high minimum tied in July 2011 1 record high minimum broken in December 2011 1 record high minimum tied in February 2012 1 record high minimum broken and 1 tied in March 2012 1 record high minimum broken in July 2012 1 record high minimum tied in September 2012 106 degrees on 7/22/11- hottest ever recorded at BWI location Monthly records 2nd hottest June (2010) Tied for 2nd hottest July (2010) Hottest July ever (2011) Hottest month ever (July 2011) Most number of 90+ degree days (24) in any month (July 2011) 3rd hottest March (2012) Tied for 7th hottest May (2012) Tied for 5th hottest July (2012) Seasonal records 6th hottest spring (2010) Hottest summer ever (2010) 9th hottest summer (2011) 7th hottest winter (2011-2012) Hottest spring ever (2012) Yearly/long-term records: Most number of 90+ degree days (59) in one year (2010) Tied for 1st, most number of 100+ degree days (7) in one year (2010) Hottest January 1 - March 31 ever (2012) Hottest January 1- May 31 ever (2012) Hottest first half of year ever (2012) Hottest January 1 - July 31 ever (2012) Hottest January 1 - August 31 ever (2012) Hottest January 1 - September 30 ever (2012) Hottest spring/summer ever (2010) 2nd hottest spring/summer (2012) 9th hottest spring/summer (2011) 21 straight months of above average temperatures (Feb. 2011 - Oct. 2012) 30 of the last 32 months (from March 2010 onwards) had above average temperatures EDITED 11/1/12

I'd give anything to go back in time 2 years ago and relive this storm again

Between Irene and the Earthquake: In all seriousness, I was scared for a minute, thought my building was gonna collaspe. Hope everyone is safe.
