Es war der zweitwärmste Winter für die unteren 48 Jahre seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen, wobei die Rekordwärme im Westen den kälteren Osten überwog. Die kälteren Gebiete sind jedoch dichter besiedelt, so dass etwa gleich viele Menschen über- und unterdurchschnittliche Temperaturen erleben

I’m sorry, we haven’t had winter yet (Denver)
I wonder what this implies about weather pattern changes due to climate change.
More turbulence brings more Pacific air to the west and more Polar air to the east?
Is there a way to break up the map to show only certain categories at a time? I feel like it would be interesting, for example, to see only (-3 to 1) and (1 to 3), followed by (-3 to 5) and (3 to 5), etc… as a way of more rapidly comparins visually the difference in area covered by the extremes.
It was 93 yesterday in Phoenix. Way too hot.
here in Chicagoland December was super cold and the rest of winter was pretty warm so it evens out.
Also we had a couple pretty long stretches of below freezing temps to the snow didn’t melt for weeks and that was nice. I fear this might become rarer in the decades to come as temperatures chaotically fluctuate between above and below freezing because our current average winter high is just below freezing but global warming will change that. this will likely lead to more rapid freeze thaw cycles, ugly shirt and slush, black ice, freeze thaw cycles, and ice chunks in our snow, and less snow covered beautiful landscapes and thick frozen rivers and lakes. 😢
Twin Cities winter: slightly below average for snowfall, but with some major midwinter thaws that robbed us of persistent snow cover
December: slightly colder than average, snowier than average, but a mid-December thaw melted a lot of the snow cover.
January: mild early, then a long stretch of below-average temps lasting the second half of the month, including the first –20° reading at MSP since 2019 (that used to be a lot more common, in the 20th century). Came out a bit colder than average.
February: average for snowfall, with a big snowfall on the 18th that was the heaviest snowfall of the winter. Much milder than average, with numerous days in the 20s.
The warm Feburary pushed the Twin Cities above average for temps.
We ended with 19 days at or below 0° F, slightly below the seasonal average of 22.
Meanwhile, Tucson, Arizona, where I used to live and my parents still live, had their first winter without a frost. Normally they get about 10-12 days below freezing in an average winter, and that did not happen at all this year.
That much warmer winter in the west. I wonder how bad the droughts will there be come this summer and fire season.
Summer 2026: wildfire season goes boom
What is the dipole moment of the continental US
Effectively no winter in the Puget Sound. It’s just been late-autumn for months. And now we’re having our usual false-spring. Although this year, perhaps it’s just the arrival of spring.
Was ?
Winter is now.
And Providence,RI of all places got a ton of snow. I hadn’t seen this much snow in CT in years. Glad the season is over.
we got our only good snow in socal about two weeks ago, so last weekend the mountains were insanely packed, then the following week temperatures were in the 80s and 90s in the city (probably 70s up there too) and it’s almost all gone now
East Texas here, sside from a week in January, we really didn’t have a winter this year. We’re sitting in the mid-80s today.
South Texas is just hot. Already record breaking heat. No winter or fall at all.
Always nice to see the Carbone color map used outside of remote observation. I love Carbone42 for radar data.
Still Falspring in central Oregon
You can really see the influence of tule fog in the great valley of California.
Interesting map. I would wager that by moving the base period back only ten years to 1981-2010, we would turn much of the green area white or yellow.
Tennessee’s average is wrong, it should be higher. We had two good cold weeks and then it gave up and pretended we were part of Louisiana.
South Florida was freezing this winter. Literally, it went into the low 30s a few times. It was raining iguanas! As climate change continues the weather will only continue to get more extreme
Shit’s been brutal over here in New England.
And here was the Climate Prediction Center’s 3-month outlook for the same time period: https://web.archive.org/web/20251126035130/https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/lead01/off01_temp.gif
