Warm Winter

Posted: 01 Mar 2012 05:53 AM

The meteorological winter season is now behind us, so it is time to see how warm this winter was compared with previous ones. The featured map presents an IEM computed analysis of simple daily average temperature percentile. Think of it as the percentage of previous years that this year was warmer than. A good portion of the state is shown at 100%, which would make it the warmest winter on record for the location. This is all based on preliminary and unofficial data, so caveat emptor.

Update: I have regenerated the image after an off-by-one bug was found. The area at a record is smaller.

Voting:
Good = 24
