csnavywx Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Definitely an outlier year so far. FDD totals are taking a big hit. If May ends up being warm, we might have a barnburner on our hands this year with all of the pre-conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If May ends up being warm, we might have a barnburner on our hands this year with all of the pre-conditioning. Melt season is coming soon. I can't wait to see what we get. Odds seem to favor a higher chance of a big melt year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skierinvermont Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The above is only for 80-90N which is a surprisingly tiny area. I couldn't find a graph for 66-90N for winter but I found some GISS figures from warmest to coldest: Jan 2016: +5.44C Jan 1981: +4.21 Jan 1977: +3.36 Jan 2011: +3.16Jan 2005: +3.02 December was warm but not record warm. Maybe top 20 or 25 warmest. It was only +1.3. Below is a graph of GISS arctic monthly. You can see temperatures until January weren't that warm be 21st century standards.
