I used to realize that March would often give you the first 70 and April 80. Didn’t happen every year but it was common enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing so as often as it has in the last 10 years is alarming. But these occurrences have couched 80 as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at wiz’s chart BDL is hitting 70 over the last 20 years just as frequently as the 1960-1980 period. as far as 80 . BDL hit 80 4 times before 1990 3 times since 1990. off first glance 60s seem more prevalent recently 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdxken Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 “That’s a thing of the past,” he said. Winters are warming twice as fast as summers in northern states, scientists have found. Across New England, this winter is shaping up to be one of the warmest on record, driven by an El Niño weather pattern currently in place and climate change, which has increased average temperatures globally. In December and January in Vermont, nighttime temperatures were generally around 21 degrees, making those two months the warmest on record in terms of nighttime low temperatures. This year marks the first time in recorded history that there wasn’t any snow on the ground in Burlington, Vt., during the first 12 days of February.

I can’t speak to “Wiz’s chart” but I stood witness to 79 and 82 in two different Febs since 2016. Two Marches hosted an above 85. I’d also suggest that typical early warm synoptics brings the warmest readings to the Mass NE and SE NH. It is not uncommon within a week of these occurrences of early heat breaking down to observe a robust -NAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temp anomalies across the country are going to look exactly like a strong Nino when winter ends.

On 3/1 70 is much more highly anomalous vs 3/31. As a kid growing up mid 20th century, the things I grew to expect in March was a big snow event and the first run at 70.

rimetree Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just looking at March data for the Greenland NH coop, 2012 stands out as a glaring anomaly in the past 24 years. All 80+ days in March (3 total) occurred that year. There have been 0 80+ readings in February in the last 24 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I just want a warm March at this point....honestly.

As bad as last year was, this is worse locally when you look at how every area around me has done. I’m just tired of it. As someone who uses this season as an outlet, I’m disgusted with it. Hits the spot. Winter and all its meteorological chases and thrills have been a reliable escape for folks here for as long as we can remember (for me, since moving here in 1993, so my expectations were warped from the start). The past 2 years? The only redeeming experience was a few hours after the CF passed through on Jan 7... first time my toddler witnessed heavy snow and he was absolutely ecstatic. Here's how it would look if we do in fact sweep the rest of the season and don't hit 4" before mid Dec 2024... depressing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the almost Nina like pattern for a minute in January. December ‘72 had a Nina like pattern for awhile also I believe. Both of those instances could be due to the -PDO. That’s probably why the northern Rockies and northern plains aren’t the center of the warmth. It’s actually pushed a little more east which is bad for here and your area. I thought the -PDO might help keep some colder air around but in the end, it looks like it just pushes the biggest warmth east because of more -PNA.

Modfan2 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 13F for a low, decent cold considering I was sitting at 71F this time yesterday in FL.
