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.

Amen.
First decent snow we have had in two years. Knew it was coming I bought my brother a snow blower three years ago.
Yes, but look how far back he is from the coast. (s)
I’m surprised they didn’t welcome illegals to landscape their property and dust their many rooms.
Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but, the folks I see running around in ME with shorts on are NY/NJ types who spend all of five seconds running from their Auidis to the gym or yogurt emporium. Net email people who spend time outdoors are dressed in Remy’s cheapest and warmest.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Right here in West Knox County Tennessee I’ve had 12 inches or more of snow, it’s been down to below zero, and I haven’t been able to get any deliveries for the last six days. There is still a coat of ice on my driveway, people are having a hard time driving, and this is been the coldest, hardest Witter I’ve ever seen here in the last 36 years. Indeed, the last six days have been just about as cold and hard as winters were in Milwaukee, where I lived before moving here. I wonder where CNN went to discover all the wonderfully warm cities.

My area falls under the ocean influence category, just up the chesapeake bay a bit. Winters get chilly but not frigid, we’ve had a few nasty winter northerlies blow through usually one maybe two per winter. Normally it’s just a high pressure front moving offshore. Even though the vast majority of people in this area on the Seaboard use heat pumps I think we’re just north of efficient pump territory.
I have noticed that perhaps starting in South Carolina is where heat pumps become really effective. In order to balance out that Mid Winter ineffectiveness of our “Florida pumps” we put portable oil radiators in a couple of rooms just to make them nice and cozy.
Stay warm.
It has gotten up to 33 degrees for precisely 6 hours since Sunday night here in Middle Tennessee. High today of 14 degrees F. today. Lows every night of in the single digits with a low of -4 F Wednesday. Damn, send us some globull warming!
It was 20 deg in Pensacola Wednesday morning. But the climate change alarmists will ignore this data because it falls outside of the norm.
The idea was that many traditional weather stations have become located in heat islands and giving false readings or in different conditions than they had in unaffected locations. The climate change alarmists agreed that was possible if not exactly so and agreed that new stations would be built away from urban centers and in locations not impacted by man-made structural influences, places like wilderness areas our far far out in the country. They would then compare the measurements of these newly located stations to historical records. It appears they forgot about that agreement.
Spent a couple hours this morning cleaning up downed branches from recent winds, dragging the big ones through snow to burn pile. It was 13 degrees. It’s 16 now... should have waited and done it now that it has warmed up 🙄
Elisa Raffa, paid liar for XiNN.
Temps in the mid 20’s to low 30’s here at night, warming up to a POSITIVELY TROPICAL mid 30’s during the day.
But of course I also have a good El Nino off the coast of my farm this year.
Usually night time temps are mid to low teens and day time temp get to mid twenties this time of year.
Personally I love this TEMPORARY AREA WARMING!
