When was that? Its been almost a decade since there's been a bad foggy season. Warmer winters = less fog. Ty climate change
The 99 freeway is definitely dangerous even with a little bit of fog.
We have been having unusually warm weather this weather in eastern PA. I ate dinner outside last night. I don't ever remember eating outside in the middle of February ever. I checked my phone around 7 and it was 60 degrees and felt like 58. That's very warm for these parts. I remember a lot of winters looking at the river frozen, not this year.
I think this is pretty typical for Gulf states, but February is always a weird month in east Texas. Every year in February I get tempted by the fabulous weather to go to the nursery and buy annuals to plant. But it's best not to because there's nearly always a really cold snap either later in February or even an ice storm in March. Not expecting one of those this year but hey, anything could happen.
It's been a really mild winter here though. Yesterday it was 80 degrees with tons of sun. I couldn't resist - had to get out and work in the yard some. BUT NO PLANTING!
It recently was in the 90's in Texas.I was not expecting it to get that hot in the winter.I think Vernon,Texas got to 98 this past saturday so Colorado is not the only state with weird weather,
Childress, TX had a high temperature of 100°F on March 12, 1989. It seems like late-winter heat in Texas is more likely to happen when the prevailing weather pattern is a trough in the West and a ridge in the East, because the winter of 1988-1989 had a prevailing pattern very similar to this winter. Childress also had high temperatures of 100°F on March 20, 1907 and March 27, 1971. Besides this year, Childress has had 90°F February temperatures in 1904, 1962, 1979, 1996 and 2006.

The lowest record high temperature in Philadelphia is 62°F on January 21, 1959 and January 16, 2007. Every other record high temperature in Philadelphia has been warmer than that. In fact, the record high for the month of February in Philadelphia is 79°F on February 25, 1930.

Eek, that might have been the coldest year ever in Fresno. I think it hit sub 15 degrees a few times that year.
Winters aren't anywhere near that harsh anymore. Anyways, thanks for the response

I think weve had 3 days go below freezing this winter here in the San Antonio area. Weve had a few days in the high 80's lately. I even went swimming last weekend and there were plenty of people out in the water.
The Rocky Mountain front in Montana actually has even more dramatic temperature swings than the CO Front Range. Montana holds the world record for largest 24 hour temperature change, when the temperature rose from -54 to +49 in Loma on January 15, 1972.
