Who's laughing when all the baggage associated with drought comes home to stock? The propaganda never ends!
Also WA, CA, and AZ logged the warmest February by mean tmax; NY, VT, NH, and ME came in at the opposite end. The national tavg? Misleading!

All I know is Farmers and home growers love, need and don't mind "warming temps".. its the cold that they need to fear, not the warming. Drought is different story, That's about Moisture and Pressures. But you can have a drought with cold/cool temps.

Ok, I updated my file to add this past winter.

NOAA's Winter forecast from 2.5mths out compared to actual. I should do 1 month out for curiosity.

You can see the Axis of the cold was East more this year than previous winter.

And much warmer in the west this winter than previous.



But will NOAA stop using the orange colors?? Even their forecasts are ................. nevermind

Those NOAA maps don't have the same scale, which is very irritating for comparison. 2012-2013 looks as warm as 2011-2012, even though they're not. At least zero is always white..
