65 degrees in January

[Mixolydian]

One week ago today the temps were in the single digits with windchills well below zero. Today it's already 60 degrees, supposed to be 65, and they are predicting severe thunderstorms with over 2 inches of rain possible. Wild stuff! 😵

 

[Red Storm]

Same here. I miss blizzards. 🙁

 

[Saint Nick]

Snow tonight here in Omaha.

 

[GobBluth]

Same kind of weather as last year when we got hit with big tornadoes... better start disaster planning.

Snow tonight here in Omaha.

I'll take your snow and give you some warmish weather in the 30s? Missing out on the ski season this year because the mountains have no snow on them. 🙁

 

[vi edit]

Yep, Central IL here. 67 degrees for me. Then a low of 3 Thursday. 64 degree swing. Booo!

It is the same crap here in SW Ontario. I have already seen lightning today. Feels like March/April.

hope we dont have crazy weather again this spring. got lucky last year. funnel cloud swooped down right over our house and touched down a couple hundred yards away.

Yeah, last March we had a long stretch of 80 degree days. All the plants and trees and everything started blooming, then in April it got real cold and fucked everything over.

 

[highland145]

Guess you aren't impressed with my 71.

 

[DesiPower]

81 projected for this afternoon here... beat that!

 

[drebo]

Yeah, cause there have never been warm spells during winters before. Ever. Not once in the history of the world.

T tops? What kind of mullet mobile has T tops? 😕

 

[MixMasterTang]

In KC we were down to single digits 1 or 2 nights last week but reached 76 (maybe even slightly higher) yesterday!

I'm guessing his 300zx, not sure I'd call it a mullet mobile though....

 

[GagHalfrunt]

After about 10 days or so of the daytime highs here not topping 25*F, bring on the warmth! People who like cold weather and blizzards are obviously children whose mommies and daddies pay their heating bills.

of course it did, but that time even Dinosaurs didn't exist.

77 in N. Florida. Though that's pretty hot for this time of year. Usually its in the 40s or 50s.

 

[Jaskalas]

Here's the graphical representation of those numbers, and how widespread they are. It's warm air sucked up from the gulf ahead of the approaching cold front.

Last year was the single hottest calendar year for my area since temps were recorded. And it wasn't by a small amount, it was several degrees IIRC. That's somewhat significant. As others have said last year we had almost 2 weeks of 80 degrees in March. That's not good. Plants and trees come out of dormancy too early and then get rocked if a hard freeze hits again.

It's been some very odd weather here the last couple years.
