Ha. I'm not even going to go with TWC's predicted high today of 54°F when it's already 56°F, I'm going with high in the low to mid 60's.

So much for that Arctic blast!  It's now 59°F and sunny.

Lol what arctic blast? Not one record low was broken.

Record lows do not have to be broken for a cold snap to be classifed as an arctic blast!

But anyway, I LOVE the weather today!

73°F Sunny/Windy

I was just pointing out. I never said that records need to be broken in order to have a cold snap or heat wave.

Today at 12:33PM it is
60°F and Sunny

Holy crap! I just went searching around on TWC's interactive temperature map. Turns out the many places in the northern mid-west are seeing incredible highs today. For example, Murdo, SD reached 74°F, shattering the old record by 21 degrees! After looking up some more data, it's the second highest temperature ever recorded in the month of January there, the highest ever being 75°F. You would think it would be in teen's and twenty's during this time of the year according to the average, but the with a high of 74°F, it will make it an outstanding 42 degrees above average!!! I've never seen it so above average in any given place. WOW

Both TWC and NWS made a bulls eye forecast. They both predicted lows of 14°F which was perfect.

"Cold spell" is also a relative term, and it's usually not used to compare a time period as far back as the 1800s. For this 365-day period, this is definitely a cold spell for the South. Granted, we're not as cold as back then, but we can still experience some pretty brutal lows nonetheless.

Right. But you have to agree that these brutal lows are null to what people had to cope with back then. It was probably a much more worse case scenario back then than it is today due to the fact that many people didn't have proper heating utilities, many more people back then died of cold related inflictions than today, mainly do to the advancements in modern technology, that doesn't happen much anymore. If you think we got it bad, just imagine what it was like hundreds of years ago during cold spells. Not much heat for the house, maybe if you were poor, you couldn't afford a coat. We take a lot for granted, not thinking of what it was like years before.

If there were any people alive from the 1800's, they would laugh at us, seriously, you guys call this a cold spell? Yes, it's a big contrast to the weather we've all been seeing lately but this is nothing compared to what they got hundreds of years ago. I like to watch the local news and see the almanac for NYC and it's sad to see that today's cold spell can't even match the ones hundreds of years ago. The daily record low for the day in NYC is -4°F set in I believe 1876. Out of all the cold spells we've been getting over the past 20 years, not one has even came close. 2 things I blame it on is GW and the urban heat island effect. It's sad to see that this happening and that the govt. is taking no action to slow GW, they were supposed to put wind turbines some 10 miles off the ocean here for electricity production, but it was turned down, because we got the ignorance of the people who said "oh well it blocks our view", HELLO, these things are 10 miles away, you can't even see out that far. I thought it would be a great idea, since we get a lot of wind storms and they're well off in the ocean. I'm sorry to rant and post so much random stuff but this is what's on my mind. Crazy...

This is one of the reasons why I live right along the coast. Not trying to say anything. The temperature seldom drops below 5°F every year. In fact, there are species of palm trees that can survive single digit temps. I see them along the beach a lot, here's a link to the palm I'm talking bout,

Don't ask I just quickly googled it.
