The latest monthly and seasonal climate summaries for the US were released by NOAA today. They show that due to the cold outbreak which stretched through the central part of the country, it was the coldest February in 30 years. The last time February was this cold was 1989. In spite of that, this winter was in the warmest third of all winters. For the Southeast, parts of Florida were much above normal in February. Parts of NC and VA were the wettest on record for both February and winter.
