I was just looking at my data from Feb 2015... what an amazing difference. It doesn't seem too crazy to think I may never experience a colder month here. Only reached freezing twice 9 single digit lows A ridiculous 17 lows at or below zero. -15.3 on the 24th, which is my third coldest temp here since 1986.

weatherwiz Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 damn...torn about what to do for the high on Thursday. In all honesty I think Friday could be the warmer of the two days (at least down this way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(-20 in 1994 and -17.2 in 2009) I had an avg min slightly below 0F. That's not supposed to happen here on the hillside. Nice use of a bulleted list too.

tamarack Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Borrowing your format for an amazing month: Only reached freezing once - for about 3 hours on 2/22 6 minus-twenties lows A ridiculous 24 lows at or below zero. The other four: 1,1,4,5. Average low was -10.1 -25 on the 24th, which (surprisingly) is only my fifth coldest February temp here since 1999. (-29 and -28 in 2003, -26 in 2008 and in 2009) That -25 ranks 15th, trailing 9 days in January and one in Dec as well, plus 2 ties in January and one in March. (-25 is my median for winter's coldest.) Despite all that cold and 23.5" of snow, my snow depth at the end of the month - 26" - was exactly the same as on Feb. 1.

You're missing some historic warmth in the Quad Cities. Probably going to break the all-time February record at MLI tomorrow, which was just set on Sunday lol.

You can yo-yo a bit, but when it warms up it warms up. The records falling at MLI, GRB, ORD, etc are pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unusual to get a big/record breaking torch for a day or two, but this will end up lasting a week. It's like a February version of that stretch in March 2012.

I found it interesting that the anomalies aren't crazy off the charts either. Around +2 SD at 850 mb. But in a smaller area around IA, WI, and IL it is outside of the model climate history.

Big diurnal spreads until recently when it's gotten more moist. Also don't have the corn fed 80 degree dews to deal with at this time of year, or any vegetation for that matter, so it's off to the races on these days with plenty of sun.

I would say your +2 SD is a lot different than our +2 SD this time of year too. GEFS is forecasting +12 over DVN for a +2 SD, but +5 over BGR would produce the same SD around here.
