A very chilly late Feb 23 degrees this AM. Feels and looks like snow.
Congrats to @Mount Joy Snowman for predicting MDT would top 40 for their average this month. MDT current stands at 40.9 for an average with an AN departure of exactly 8 degrees. They stand at number 2 as to the warmest Feb ever right now. Looking forward just at zones, there does not seem to be a lot of traction to get much higher but not sure they drop down past #3 if even making that. With the Jan records in the books, in my mind, this will be the warmest winter in my lifetime if not all time. Feb wise, 7 of the 10 warmest Feb's have happened in the last 32 years with 4 of the 10 in the last 5 years. Regardless of why, hard to argue we are in the warmest period of the recorded history of this area. Hard for me not to laugh when I hear any local yokel's complain about "how cold it is". This has come in a year where Central Florida has recorded several well below freezing nights and it snowed in Miami.
