Thursday - February 03, 2005 at 09:05 AM inMild winter? WTF?
Even as much of the rest of the country has been flash-frozen then buried in snow this winter, here in the Twin Cities this is looking like one of the mildest and driest winters in recent memory.
To date, we've had almost no snow, and only one serious cold snap. Even that cold snap was not nearly as cold as is typical: it got down to -15, as compared to -25 last winter, and -20 the year before. We're now in the middle of an exceptionally warm week, with highs close to 50 for the next three days. What little snow we have could be mostly gone by the weekend. Even though January and February are normally the coldest months of the year, time is running out for another major cold snap. We just don't normally get deep subzero temperatures after the end of February, and by the end of March even the record lows are getting above zero. I realize that to a resident of Austin or Orlando the phrases "it got down to -15" and "even the record lows are getting above zero" don't sound particularly balmy. But if you compare this year to most, we're getting off lightly in the winter department. Posted at 09:05 AM | Permalink | | | |
