Storm,

Could you post that nice color map which shows temps to average across the USA for Feb (to date), Jan, Dec and Nov would love to see all the months separately - could you include Alaska - I know I am a pain in the...

Thanks,
Summer

Here's November -- chilly month in the Northeast, warm elsewhere:




December -- cold Mid-west, a bit below normal in the Northeast down to Philly:




January - solidly warmer than normal in the NE (+4 to +5 range). Normal/chilly mid-west.



February to date -- more of the same -- cold mid-west / intermountain region. Very warm east coast. However, I believe the departures you see now will be MUCH LOWER BY THE END OF THE MONTH.



Alaska -- sorry don't have maps, but I've got the numbers.

Anchorage:

January was -2.7, well below normal.
December was +0.5, essentially normal.
November was +8.8, blowtorch. Makes sense considering that was our coldest month in the East.

Storm,
Your the best - thanks - my friends in the midwest and I love to chat about these maps - the brutal cold in North Dakota in Feb is readily apparent in this map
Thanks again

No problem.

Summer, looks like the same old pattern through Feb 20th -- series of arctic shots into the Northeast, interspersed with Lakes-cutters and cold rains. However, below normal temperatures should be the rule for the most part -- knocking down those +4 departures currently in the NE. My forecast range for Feb in NYC was +2 to +4, so everything appears to be on track right now, but I wish we'd get a 12"+ snowstorm on the coast.

I hope March and April are warm months, without any retaliation from mother nature.
