At some point reality is going to matter more.

IMNSHO of course
We've had one of our warmest winters and summers in the last 6 years.

Most of 2017 was pretty much warmer/hotter than normal (if there is such a thing as normal) and drier than normal, but now we're bracing for colder than normal for at least a week.

NYC Actual Max & Min Temps this month. The max temp past 4 days have been below the normal minimum average. And Low of 11F 2 days in a row.

(Pink dots are the normal max for that day, Blue dots are the normal min temps)

Source:







Last time they had 5 in a row in December was in 1989.
Last time with 6 in a row in Dec was 1962.
Last time with 7 in a row in December was 1963.



Longest streak below freezing in December was 11 in 1935 & 1892.

13 days in a row below freezing would be impressive for any month

The record cold/snow is confined to just central/eastern USA. The west has been warming at an alarming rate these past few years along with the rest of the planet.

Must be all that cold air emanating from the politicians in the White House under president Trump:hamd :.

I'm in Berea, KY, where it's not supposed to get above about 25F between now and when I leave on Tuesday. Sadly there's no snow cover and nothing more than a chance of flurries is forecasted. But I'm going up to Indianapolis tomorrow, and there should be snow on the ground there. I was outside for a few hours today playing an online game with my friends (the wifi wasn't working, so I had to use a mobile hotspot, but service was bad inside), and I felt extremely cold after being out there a couple hours. It was only about 30, but there was no sun and I wasn't wearing gloves or moving around much.

If anyone's interested in finding their coldest [or warmest] weeks for the favorite station, let me know. Would be best for me to do other stations after figured out how to do one.
Could you do the coldest weeks for Raleigh and Oklahoma City?

7 days in a row at or below where the normal low is. Nice! Can we make it 2 weeks in a row? Very possible
