That’s why temps are so low. So from a met standpoint, I find that interesting. Expand It is interesting. It's also real.

Expand Pretty rare to get air masses that don’t mix cold down unless it’s maybe spring time with sun and you get extra diabetic heating that is far more than winter. I’d call that fake warmth…like in March when when you have -2C 850 temps and sun the day before a big storm hits….you hit 52F but then when precip starts it’s in the upper 20th r lower 30s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 We joke about fake cold, but do you honestly think we as meteorologists somehow think otherwise? It’s a joke guys.

Expand All we get is fake weather… mixed out valley in warm season when it’s 90F in May with a dew of 40F and DIT is raging that it’s not hot. Its the transient of a lot of it, whether it’s fluffy snow, radiational cooling, real low RH heat that drops 30F the minute the sun goes down… transient stuff gets the moniker of fake.
