Yes, but the odd thing.
Or perhaps better put - the unusual thing - is that the cold spell spanned the entire northern hemisphere. It’s suddenly a lot warmer here in Norway too today. -4 degrees after going through a month long spell of -20 or so (celsius).
This though does happen, but apparently we have to go back to the fifties to find when this particular weather phenomenon (arctic oscillation) was as strongly negative as it was this winter.
Anyhow.
Have a good one in Maryland :-)

Hmmm, the fifties you say? ... Wasn’t that when the Soviets were atmospheric testing those mega mega nuclear bombs?

I remember the big snow of ‘47 in northern New Jersey. There was 27” of snow. I was 9 1/2 and wading in it the snow was up to my chest. My father dug a trench from the house to the street. I dug a hole in it for my 16 month old brother to play house in.
