January 2015 was a fairly typical January (average wise), have a look:
The only reason it was close to average was because of the cool days at the end of the month. If it would have 78-82 all month it would have been a well above average month.
Matter of fact, that month was still above average by about 2 F. About as above average as this February was below average, yet you were acting like February was an anomaly.

Which was my point, a few cold snaps can depress the mean.

That month was about 1.4 degrees above average for daytime highs. Just 1.4 degrees.

Yes, but 4 F warmer for nighttime lows. You love to conveniently ignore that huh?
I'm starting to notice a pattern with you. You claimed earlier it reached 89 F where you are but MIA didn't go above 85 F all day, and you live by the beach.

We are talking about daytime highs, since you quibbled about my 75 degree cuttoff. We seem to be in agreement on daytime lows (55 vs 52).
Again, I picked a month very close to average to show you how many of the days can be above 78 degrees, yet a few 60 degree days can bring down the average. That's what a cold snap is, severe departures from the average but short lived.

So if it's a severe departure from average, how in the hell is a high that's 1-2 F below average a "cold snap"?
And nighttime lows are important for the means. I was talking about it being an above average month in terms of means. Even if the daytime highs are average (which they were actually above) and nighttime lows are 5 F above average, it would considered an above average month.

Please read on the difference between mean and median. And we're not talking about nighttime lows, try to keep the plot and stay on topic.

Consider this conversation over.
I'm well aware of the difference. The only reason "most days" were 78-82 F that month was because of a well above normal first half of January.
Please actually know what you're talking about before spouting bull****.
