It’s a new maximum temperature record for February across all of Scotland. The previous record stood for 122 years — since 1897 This comes just a week after Berlin set its record high temperature for February at 62 degrees. Do you know what the previous records were?

The parts of NJ with the 2000+ toxic superfund sites and the resulting highest rates of autism in the country need to be avoided though. I heard they found high amounts of lead in the tap water in some counties in NE NJ. It's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde state, the pretty parts are REALLY nice and the urbanized areas are not. Actually real estate In those parts are much cheaper. The areas 10-30 miles from the city are where most of the million dollar plus homes are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three of the highest property taxed counties in the country are in NJ. NY has a few counties right up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHERMINATOR Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I think the problem this winter is no sustained cold air. Minneapolis has the snowiest February ever. So that jet stream is not staying south while we precipitate resulting a warmer solution like snow to rain or just rain. We need a nice +PNA trough to get that sustained block from storms cutting into the lakes. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/weather/2019/02/22/its-snowiest-february-record-minneapolis-blizzard-could-hit-this-weekend/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I believe that solution, but I think people are calling this winter over too quickly. We have a lot of cold air for the next 2 weeks, except for perhaps a very brief spike in temps for saturday March 2nd. With cold air for 2 weeks, snow is not out of the question. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etudiant Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Interesting factoid, but how is this relevant to 'American Weather'? Given the circulation patterns, one could argue that this record merely reflects the warmer than usual winter here in the NYC region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta had its earliest 80 degree temperature ever, Australia had its worst heat wave and I believe the highest temperature ever recorded at an ocean beach location? It was 120+ about 100 meters from the beach- anyone who stepped on that sand would have had severe burns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here, the largest storm that stayed all snow had like half an inch of snow lol. That has to be some sort of record. That 6.4 inch storm in November (which was 4.7 inches here) didn't stay as snow either and changed over to rain and was all gone by next morning.
