Got down to 22 last night! Wasn’t excepting that.

I’ll be in Mason City IA Thursday through Sunday for work.

Hope you get to see some snow, looks like the event is trending N with the snow!
Currently 60 degrees

Only made it to 34 at RDU after a forecast low of 32. Earliest freeze on record potential still intact, but we’ll see what happens.

GSO hit 28, so they’re good, though.

Lol records being set with bogus sensor

Tbf it was only 2 degrees warmer than surroundings , within reason to expect it to read that given its setting

Ok

That may be, but it’ll be the record if it stands, either way. I’m sure it was below freezing in the surrounding countryside.

Kinda sad we got beat by ATL for last night's low.

Way out there GFS but continues to point to cool start to April with potential for another frost freeze for mtn/piedmont peeps;

It's weird though isn't it? That in a field as scientific as meteorology that "records" are based off of one data point, seems the least scientific way to me

You know it's getting bad when the "normally cold" location was roxboro and now it's roxboro, Oxford, lousuburg, Siler city, sanford, southern pines, asheboro. Strange how the cold locations grew right?

Yeah, it is unfortunate. Unfortunately, measuring weather is difficult and it’s difficult to overcome local climate factors, etc. No doubt, a lot of the warming in recent years has had as much to do with local factors like increasing UHI than global or even regional factors (not that both aren’t a factor).

Indeed, although in last night’s case in particular it doesn’t look like Sanford, Siler City, Asheboro, or Southern Pines got below freezing, either.

RDU was warmer than surroundings but it wasn’t all that drastic . Yesterday night had no rhyme or reason seemed some places got cold others didn’t . Louisburg is interesting

That was my fault I opened a bunch of freezers facing your yard last night … all on your power as well !

This look right here is the new normal.

 

[LukeBarrette]

Actually close here in western VA

Right on cue winter arrives too late

 

[Downeastnc]

I don't mind a cool spring as long as it is a sunny cool spring with a few good severe days mixed in. Im fine with mid to upper 80's holding off till at least May.
