Winter temperatures increased by 3.8 degrees Fahrenheit on average since 1970 in these warming locations. Winters in the fastest-warming cities have warmed by as much as 7 degrees.
The Northeast and Upper Midwest are the regions warming fastest, and are running a nearly 5-degree winter fever. This includes some ski towns like Burlington, Vermont, (7.7 degree increase) and Concord, New Hampshire (6.6 degree increase). Winter in notoriously cold Milwaukee is now 6.7 degrees warmer on average.
For many, a little extra winter warmth may sound nice. But milder winters come with consequences.
“Wintertime plays important roles in the life cycles of plants, animals, and insects, the recharging of freshwater supplies, and sustaining snow and ice for winter recreation, which supports local economies,” said Lauren Casey, a meteorologist at Climate Central...
Even cities known for cold outbreaks — like Buffalo, New York, Chicago, New York City, Boston, and Detroit — now no longer experience two-to-three weeks’ worth of freezing nights each year.

Hopefully you can enjoy a nice, warm winter day. Maybe even a dip in the lake or pool.
Aren't CNN's weather forecasts just dandy?
Have a nice time playing outside!
So the coldest winter in 25 years is really warmer.
Minus 30 degree wind chill last night in the Midwest.
We just spent the whole week in this balmy weather in Wisconsin. It was so much fun getting my water pipes unfrozen. It should be a ride at Great America.
I have to buy a $60k EV so some town can have fun in the snow?
CNN says you’re wrong.
They wouldn’t lie to you, now would they?
Weve experienced sub freezing, and in some cases, subzero temperatures for the last few weeks. So much so that our water system failed despite the precautions I’ve taken. Several days on end of temps in the minus 20s. All we can do is to wait for warmer temps which we should get in the next day or two. The old north Idaho January thaw.
18° this morning, mid January... that’s right there around the normal range.
Y3ah? And back in the ice age, EVERYTHING was frozen year round, but then things warmed up, the ice melted, and people could,live there without the fear of freezing to death-
Where was CNN back then when the earth was warming tremendously ALL ON ITS OWN!? The earth warms, and the earth cools- that is just a fact of nature, and nothing we do, no amount of money is going to,change that factà
Well hmmm.. As I recall, in the winter of 76-77, in the "Upper Mid-West", "THEY" were whining about the coming of the terrible ice age...
I think they go the Castanza route by saying it’s not a lie if you believe it.
We’ve been in the high teens, low twenties overnight in SE Alabama. This is unheard of around here. Pipes bursting everywhere as this area didn’t build with hard freezes in mind.
It’s almost like half the time we are above average and half the time below average. That was for the math impaired.
This year, meaning right bloody now, we have a few inches of snow on the ground and temps in the teens overnight. In fact, I need to go out and put air in my tires at Sheetz before the Tesla heads crowd me out from the air pump, but that current 18° (wind chill 9°) is making me think that another cup of coffee and watching some blackjack on the For the Fans Live TV channel (228 on Roku for those of you playing along at home) is a better and warmer idea.
The climate changes, it always changes. It’s a dynamic, multi variable system that we don’t really understand.
If the greenies really were interested in helping, they would plan for how to adapt to climate variations, rather than fear monger.
Get your science right here at CNN....from a journalism major.
***Winter temperatures increased by 3.8 degrees Fahrenheit on average since 1970 in these warming locations.***
1970? That was about the time THE COMING ICE AGE scam was being popularized in the USA by the news media! January of 1977 was extremely brutal and used as proof.
And we just had the coldest caucuses in history here in Iowa.
Well, that’s what they say on CNN so it must be true.
