63 and sunny.
Had to run out for work. On the way back I had the windows down and the sunroof open, blasting music, flying along the highway. Too bad it's going to be 28 on Thursday.
50°F at lunch right now. We're supposed to get 4-16 in ( everyone is saying something different) of snow tonight. 50°F by Friday.
35f and rainy as shit.
my nipples are hard
You know you got fucked up weather when the animals are confused. Warm jogging weather one day, 4-6 inches of snow the next. Had to walk part of the way to work today and noticed some birds fattening themselves up, thinking they had to migrate again while squirrels were burying nuts. This winter is like a crazy bitch ex-girlfriend that can't make up its mind.
80f and Sunny yesterday, back down to low 70's and Sunny today. Although, can the people in Southern California just start saying SoCal as a way to describe weather? I mean, shit. It's always 70~80 and Sunny, and only abnormal the two weeks it's cold, two weeks it's hot and one week it's rainy.
Almost midnight and it's -1C. Low for this week is -9C.
Spring is finally here, fuck yeah.
Why the hell is it still cold in Virginia Beach in mid-march? Where is my global warming, dammit?
http://www.weather.com/news/winter-n...-2014-20140313NOAA: Winter 2013-2014 Among Coldest on Record in Midwest; Driest, Warmest in Southwest
Winter 2013-2014 was one of the coldest on record in parts of the Midwest, according to the government's official monthly climate report released Thursday.
NOAA's National Climatic Data Center said that the period from December 2013 through February 2014 was the 34th coldest such period for the contiguous 48 states as a whole since modern records began in 1895.
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri registered a top 10 coldest winter. Seventeen other states from Washington state to the northern Gulf Coast to New York were colder than average.
The first two months of 2014 were among the top three coldest on record in the following cities:
Green Bay, Wisc. (second coldest)
La Crosse, Wisc. (third coldest)
Rockford, Ill. (third coldest)
Detroit (third coldest)
Dubuque, Iowa (third coldest)
Waterloo, Iowa (third coldest)
Continuing what was seen in 2013, the number of daily record-low temperatures outnumbered the number of record-high temperatures nationally in early 2014, according to NCDC statistics compiled by meteorologist Guy Walton of The Weather Channel.
As of March 13, daily record lows led record highs by about a 2.5-to-1 margin – a sharp contrast to a heavily lopsided 2012 that featured about 5 times as many record highs as record lows.
Winter snow cover areal extent over the Lower 48 states was the 10th largest on record, dating to 1966, according to the Rutgers University Snow Lab.
On the other end of the spectrum, it was the record warmest winter in California, and the fourth warmest winter in Arizona, according to NOAA/NCDC. Alaska came in with their eighth warmest winter.
The first two months of 2014 were the record warmest in the following cities:
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Las Vegas
Phoenix
Tucson, Ariz.
Fresno, Calif.
On the precipitation side, December through February was the ninth driest on record for the Lower 48 states dating to 1895.
California, Arizona and New Mexico had their third driest winter, while Texas registered their 10th driest winter.
January through February was the driest such period on record in Dallas, Tulsa, Okla. and El Paso, Texas, according to NOAA. El Paso didn't see their first precipitation of the year until March.
Average storage for Texas reservoirs was just 64 percent of capacity on February 20, the lowest level for that date since 1990.
In northern and central California, reservoirs were only 36-74 percent of their historical average capacity as of March 1. NOAA says much of this area would need 18 inches of precipitation in the spring months (March - May) to effectively zero out the drought, which is highly unlikely.
