Some of you guys seems to be hung up on the negative departures. I'm not trying to downplay a below average (temp) winter. Those have become rare around here recently. But let's keep perspective here. Our normals are the warmest they've ever been. So a -3 departure while below normal, isn't frigid. It's definitely cold, well, bc it's winter. To our south and west the -5 to -10 departures are definitely cold in regards to a 30 year average from any decade in our past. Now if it were +3, well that's definitely warm bc our normals are so warm. I hope you guys understand what I'm getting at.
