NOAA’s Climate blog has now posted a story describing the recent snowstorm in southern parts of our region that shows some interesting maps about the coldest temperature and where snowfall records were set. It also relates the weather to the polar vortex and discusses how climate change may have affected what occurred.
You may also be interested in this article from Daniel Leonard of IFAS discussing whether the climate of winter so far this year has been historically cold in Florida. The article mentions AgroClimate as a source of chill hours for Florida but it is also available for the UGA Weather Network stations in Georgia. You can access them at http://agroclimate.org/tools/chill-hours-calculator/.
