Low was 74 F last night here, currently 82 F outside with overcast skies, doesn't look like there's much precipitation on the radar. So basically this is just pointless overcast, warm and humid weather. I swear the climate here does everything in it's power not to do anything interesting.
NO! That can't be I told you. CO2 wasn't as high as it is now and the climate wasn't changing back then. lol Why was 1954 so warm! There weren't even that many planes, structures, population and blacktop pavements around as there is now. lol Impossible there was a year in the past that was so warm as that. Its only happening now. If I was living in the 1950s I would of thought we were gonna catch fire or drown. (wow, I'm in a sarcastic mood this morning. lol)
One aspect in which this December-February* couldn't be called "mild" in the Northeast at all - if you have warm weather but lots of snow and storminess that's not what I'd call a mild winter overall, seeing as it was warm but otherwise severe. Chicago with its warmth and its snow drought for the winter excluding December - now that's what I call mild, historically so in fact.
*I hesitate to say "winter" since this is going to be one of those years where a disproportionate amount of the snowfall season action will occur after meteorological winter ends. We'll have a much better overall picture of the winter weather season two months from now, for obvious reasons.

Don't hold your breath - a pattern reversion for the East is on the way for next month at least. After that who knows?

Fairbanks' forecast looks absolutely dreamy right now. Who says cold weather is gloomy? Just look at all that sunshine! How I wish I could be there...
Unless you're in a colder continental climate with lots of snow (such as the Upper Peninsula) it is hopeless to try to beat the subarctic world for high-quality winter weather - no one else can match them. Well, another exception would be cases of extreme snowfall in a warmer climate such as Philadelphia in 2010, but those are rare in our climate regime.
Looks like tonight has the potential for some volatile weather, looks like winter 2016-2017 will end up being the 9th or 10th warmest on modern record in Indianapolis, winter this year might well go out with a bang
