Iceagewhereartthou Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Well I'm a little late, but been meaning to post this just in case anyone is interested or wanted to add stats for their area. Another very warm winter with very little wintry weather. Overall, I believe it was officially the warmest Dec-Feb period on record at GSP. Dec - the closest to average. 45.6 which was + 1.6. Only 10 nights below freezing with a low of just 22 for the month. 11 days with a high below 50 (lowest 35) with one day above 70. 10 above 60. Jan - 48.7 which was +6.5. Just 10 nights below freezing with a low of 16. Just 7 days with high below 50 (all of them before the 11th) with 2 days only reaching 32 (snow). 6 Days over 70 with a high of 78. 13 days over 60! Feb - 53.9 which was +8.2 (one of the warmest of all-time). Only 1 day with a high below 50 (46)! Whopping 11 days with highs above 70 with a high of 81! 24 days 60 or above! Only 6 nights below freezing with a low of 26. For the 3 month total - +16.3. Only 26 nights below freezing with 2 days not getting above. Lowest temp of 16. Only 19 days with a high below 50! 18 days of 70 or higher (let that sink in). 47 days reaching 60 or higher (out of 90, more than half). This isn't counting Nov or March, and this is GSP data, which is often a little warmer than surrounding places, but obviously a historically warm winter in the upstate. We were lucky to get the one snow for sure (officially 3.6 inches for the season). Pretty humbling stuff! How about your city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were lucky to get the one snow for sure (officially 3.6 inches for the season). Pretty humbling stuff! How about your city? I'll do Raleigh, and can compare to Oklahoma City, where I was most of the winter (I know that's in the Central/Western region, but that thread is pretty quiet in the winter). I hope you don't mind I just copied your formatting and changed the numbers; I was too lazy to be original. Raleigh Dec - The closest to average. 44.5 which was + 1.0. Only 11 nights below freezing with a low of just 19 for the month. 11 days with a high below 50 (lowest 32) with one day above 70. 10 above 60. Jan - 46.5 which was +5.5. Just 10 nights below freezing but with a low of 9. Just 7 days with high below 50 (all of them before the 11th) with 3 days not exceeding 32 (snow). 5 Days over 70 with a high of 76. 11 days over 60. Feb - 53.3 which was +8.8 (the warmest of all-time). Only 2 days with a high below 50 (45 & 49)! Whopping 13 days with highs above 70 with a high of 83! 22 days 60 or above! Only 5 nights below freezing with a low of 26. The airport only received 0.5" of snow, but I got 2.8". 19 days hit 70 and 20 failed to hit 50. 43 days hit 60. OKC (for comparison, and with the benefit of being slightly cooler in winter on average) Dec - The only below normal month since August. 39.5 which was -1.1. A solid 19 nights below freezing with a low of 4 for the month. 13 days with a high below 50 (lowest 320) with one day above 70. 8 above 60. Jan - 41.5 which was +2.3. A decent nights below freezing with a low of -3 (but it happened when I was in NC). 12 days with high below 50 with 3 days not exceeding 32 (snow). 4 Days over 70 with a high of 79. 13 days over 60. Feb - 51.0 which was +7.3 (the 3rd warmest of all-time). Only 4 days with a highs below 50! Whopping 11 days with highs above 70 with a high of 89! 15 days 60 or above. Only 7 nights below freezing with a low of 23. The airport only received 2.1" of snow, all of which fell while I was in NC. 16 days hit 70 and 29 failed to hit 50. 36 days hit 60.
