Yes, I'm annoying haha. Funny enough, that November actually ended up quite cold at 4.5 degrees below normal and also contained the Thanksgiving slop storm where I got 3.5" of snow (I believe maybe more to the north and west?). Also that's the month where Buffalo received the historic lake effect event of 5-7 feet of snow. I'll stop now. i'll assure your records and documentation is better then mine. I scribble on note paper 68 is what i recorded at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 My record to add to this great disco - 79 degrees on 2/21/2018. Day ended under a Tornado Warning for the historic district. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think we have the most active thread on the entire board these days. Sunny and 72 and 10:30 - should make it into the 80s with ease today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that 1/19/94 (high of -3 and low of -22) would be the only day that might qualify. I think the normals were somewhere around 33/18 at that point, so that looks like a -38 departure from those normals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 59 ties for a record warm low for February and #2 for met winter, after 1/22/1906 (61). Also, there are days as late as 3/9 with record warm lows in the 40s at PIT and days as late as 4/4 with record warm lows in the 50s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our modern air conditioning systems, hot or cold, that keep us comfortable, I cannot imagine how good that felt in 1906. A day with no smoke smell filling the house.

Bubbler86 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Looks like the record Max Low for Met winter at MDT is 59 on 1/8/98. Apologies if that was already mentioned. I skimmed through some posts to catch up. What is surprising to me about this is that it has never stayed 60 or above one night. We have had so many anomalous warm periods the last few years I thought maybe it did it once. The highest low in Feb is 51 which is actually not all that warm.

Lot's of crazy highs but in contradiction with the HIA talk the last few days, MDT cooled down well in Feb 2017. 75 and 37. Summer on the front, winter on the back.

canderson Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I remember than Feb 24 2017 day because a friend got married. They rushed that morning to move the wedding outside to relish in the lone opportunity for an outdoor wedding sans coats in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
