January approached record cold in central MS, with many nights in the low teens. Febuary had several 80° days only weeks removed. February is typically the coldest month for us. Lots of strange things going on here.

Yet I woke up to the thermometer saying 39F in Baton Rouge this morning... in April.

So in a year with multiple late, continental level ice storms is also the warmest on record?

Didn’t some of those communities see snow for the first time in an insane amount of time? ~30 years in Florida?

But now only is it warmed, it’s the record warmest ever?


What, did they take all those cold days and exclude them as climatological outliers?

EDIT: Ah, it’s specifically the month of Feb. that limits out some of the examples I brought up.

From usclimatedata.com Average temperature for the month of December in Baton Rouge in 2017 was 50.7°F (The normal average in December in Baton Rouge is 53°F) That’s 2.3 degrees below average...So, who is telling the truth?
