February 2025 General Discussion

[Snowstorms]

We've now gone 51 days (since Jan 1) below 41F. The longest stretch since 1985. 

Although this cold hasn't been extreme, its been seasonably cold since January which is something we haven't seen in a long time so I am grateful for that. YYZ will likely finish DJF right on average. 

This stretch is almost as remarkable as the stretch from Jan 25 to March 2, 2015 where Toronto went 37 days below freezing in a row.

Today's -4 here was our 7th subzero day of the month.  Had 6 days in January, so 13 total for the season.  Coldest was -14 back in January.

Had a great time up north. Snow deep everywhere, but especially in Paradise where it was 3 feet deep

Still have a nice snowpack in SE MI. My season to date snowfall sits at 26.9" with 26.0" at DTW. Have definitely made the most out of the snowfall in terms of days with snow on the ground.

Haha and they love it. They "only" had 80" last winter and expect to crack 300" this winter. They are smack dab in one of the biggest Lake Superior snowbelts and it's their livelihood.

some stats for recent days

This morning's Euro has near 60º here next Friday.  That will feel great.  Our last couple inches of snow should be melted off pretty quickly over the coming days.

I was looking at some info from Minnesota this week. On the 18th, Rochester had a high of 3, low of -19 (tied a record low.) That's pretty nasty when a place in Minnesota ties a record low in the winter. Some of the records at this time of year are -22 and lower, though.

Rochester was 79 degrees just before Halloween.

Temps overachieved here today, made it to 35. 50s Monday and maybe pushing 60 Tue and Wed.
