Fourth warmest winter on record for the U.S.

+35

February is gone, and the non-winter of 2011 - 2012 is the history books as the fourth warmest in U.S. history, said NOAA's National Climatic Data Center yesterday. The winter average temperature of 36.8°F was just 0.4°F cooler than the warmest winter on record, the winter of 1999 - 2000. If you lived in the Northern Plains, Midwest, Southeast and Northeast, it seemed like winter never really arrived this year--27 states in this region had top-ten warmest winters. Across the U.S., only New Mexico (41st coolest) and Alaska (35th coolest) had winter temperatures colder than average. According to NOAA's Climate Extremes Index, the percent area of the U.S. experiencing extremes in warm maximum temperatures (top 10% on record) was 49 percent--the 4th highest value since the index began being computed in 1911. Jackson, Kentucky, Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, and Trenton, New Jersey all had their warmest winter on record.

Figure 1. Contiguous U.S. temperature rankings for the winter of 2011 - 2012 (the months of December - January - February.) The 117-year period of record begins in 1895, and each state is given a ranking based on how cold this winter was, relative to the other 116 years. Thus, a ranking of 116 means it was the 2nd warmest winter on record. Image credit: NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.

Figure 2. Contiguous U.S. temperatures for winter (the months of December - January - February), from 1895 - 2012. The winter of 2011 - 2012 was the 4th warmest winter on record, behind 2000, 1999, and 1992. Winter temperatures have increased by abot 1.7°F per century (red linear trend line.)

Third least snowy winter on record for the contiguous U.S.
Warm and dry conditions during the winter of 2011 - 2012 led to snow cover extent that was the 3rd lowest in the 46-year satellite record, according to data from the Rutgers Global Snow Lab. Snowfall was particularly low across parts of the West, where much of California, Nevada, and Arizona had a snowpack less than half of average. Fortunately, the West had a near-record snowpack the previous winter, so this year's lack on snow will not cause serious water availability problems during the summer. In the Upper Midwest, the lack of a winter snowpack will substantially reduce the chances of spring flooding along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. NOAA issues their annual spring flood outlook on March 15, and it is likely to show a much lower risk of flooding compared to last year, when 1-in-100 to 1-in-500 year floods hit much of the Missouri and Lower Mississippi rivers. However, the remarkably low snow cover this winter over the Upper Midwest will allow soils to dry out much more quickly than usual, leading to increased chances of summer drought. The latest Drought Monitor map shows moderate to severe drought covering nearly all of Minnesota and Northwest Iowa; these regions are at high risk of suffering damaging drought conditions during the summer growing season.

Figure 3. State-by-state rankings of precipitation for the winter of 2011 - 2012. Four Western states had a top-ten driest winters on record, and Kansas had a top-ten wettest winter. Drought-stricken Texas, which entered the winter expecting drier than average conditions, since it was a La Niña year, lucked out, getting an unusually wet winter. Records go back to 1895.

A very mild winter for the Midwest
If you live in the Midwest, you saved a bundle this winter on heating and snow removal costs. In Minneapolis, where the low temperature falls below 0°F an average of 30 days each year, the temperature fell below zero on just two days. These days were January 18 and 19, when the low hit -1°F and -11°F, respectively. Since record keeping began in 1891, only one other winter has had so few below-zero days--the winter of 2001 - 2002. Third place is held by the winter of 1930 - 1931, with six below-zero days. Minneapolis has seen half of its usual snowfall this winter--just 22.1" as of March 7, which is 22.1" below the average of 44.2". The least snowy winter for Minneapolis occurred in the winter of 1930 - 1931, when just 14.2" of snow fell on the city.

Chicago has also seen far less snow than usual--just 19.8" as of March 7, 11.8" below their average. In a normal winter, there are 13 days with sub-zero temperatures in Chicago. The coldest it got in Chicago this winter was a relatively balmy 5°F on January 19. This is just one degree cooler than the warmest winter low temperature ever recorded in the city, which is 6°F. Here is a list of the winters in Chicago that have had no sub-zero temperatures, with the coldest temperature of the winter shown in parentheses:

1930-31 (6°F)
1959-60 (6°F)
1905-06 (6°F)
2011-12 (5°F)
1982-83 (3°F)
1938-39 (2°F)
1955-56 (2°F)
1931-32 (1°F)
1881-82 (1°F)
1936-37 (1°F)

NCDC's Dr. Deke Arndt has a two-minute video discussing the reasons for this year's warm winter. The primary factor was the position of the jet stream, which lay much farther north than usual.

I'll be back Monday at the latest with a new post.

Notice the upper-level outflow is better-defined in the first image than in the second. That indicates that vertical shear has lessened, which could mean that the low-level center is more or less under (albeit perhaps not fully) the convective cloud shield, the satellite signature notwithstanding.

Well, because you can look for consistencies within the model. If the GFS shows a system in the long-range, and continues to show it through about 228-240 hours, it'll probably keep it all the way up to short range. The system that shows a major outbreak was originally depicted at 348 hours, now it is all the way down to 216 hours. Member Since: 6 juillet 2010 Posts: 89 Comments: 25340

I'm a short-range weather forecaster, and I think it tends to be much more pragmatic in the long run. I consider anything beyond seven days a crapshoot anyway, as though we may be able to pinpoint the large scale pattern across a given area subsequent to that point (even then it's not always the case), precise timing, amplification, and certain mesoscale details remain inherently muddled. We've come a long way, but we need to come a lot further before we can confidently assess the weather beyond an arbitrary short-range point. Member Since: 7 Mars 2007 Posts: 410 Comments: 15468

And there is nothing wrong with that. :) One thing I do believe forecasting long-range does is help raise awareness to the public. For instance, Reed made a post earlier over the system I've talking about for several days now... "Long-range models hinting at a massive storm system right around St Patrick's Day.. Which coincidentally I turn 32 on march 17. We'll keep an eye on it. A lot can change" ...and it gets people aware of the situation well before the threat occurs. Of course, if you happen to be wrong, people bite your head off. Lol. Member Since: 6 juillet 2010 Posts: 89 Comments: 25340

I'll summarize the video for you. There is a guy in Africa named Joseph Kony. For the past 30 years, he has been kidnapping kids from their parents and making them part of his army. He forces them to kill their parents and others. The people in the video are trying to raise awareness by making websites, facebook accounts, putting posters, etc, etc. It's really sad if you think about it. He's supposedly kidnapped 30,000 kids.

Not exactly sure how I feel about this... DISCUSSION... ISENTROPIC LIFT EVENT WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW. WV SAT IMAGERY SHOWS UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER AZ/NM WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. DEEP MOISTURE IS FLOWING NORTHWARD OVER THE COLD AIR AT THE SURFACE. THIS IS PROVIDING ENOUGH LIFT TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES SLOWLY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. COLD AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS WILL LIMIT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AND ANY STORMS WILL BE BELOW SEVERE STRENGTH. THERE WILL BE AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF RAINFALL FROM TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. RAINFALL TOTALS WILL RANGE FROM AROUND HALF AN INCH OVER THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS TO NEAR 2.5 INCHES ALONG OUR EASTERN BORDER. AT THIS TIME THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING SEEMS UNLIKELY. BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE ON THIS. TEMPS WILL BE FLAT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING WITH LOWS AROUND NORMAL AND HIGHS WELL BELOW NORMAL. THEN TEMPS WILL CLIMB WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK. TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK MODELS ARE SHOWING A SIMILAR PATTERN TO THE ONE WE HAVE NOW. COULD BE ANOTHER COLD...RAINY FEW DAYS. Just to illustrate this, look how similar the ECMWF is at 48 and 240 hours, especially at 500 mb: 12Z @ 48 hrs. 12Z @ 240 hrs. Member Since: 2 août 2006 Posts: 43 Comments: 10367

All I'm saying is that it's pitiful we needed a reminder. This kind of stuff is constantly going on behind the scenes, but due to how little it effects us, the media chooses not to cover it, instead favoring other ridiculously mundane things. One thing I learned a long time ago is that if you fancy something up to look emotional, then it will be emotional. Humankind is just hardwired in that way. Specifically, our economy or our morale.

They're 20 ounce bottles generally found at the front of most retailers/convenience stores. Yeah, the non-zero ones obviously house copious amounts of sugar (32 grams per 20 ounce bottle, depending on the flavor), but they also contain many beneficial nutrients. Much better than soft drinks. Member Since: 7 Mars 2007 Posts: 410 Comments: 15468
