Pgv finished 2022 with a 13.5 inch deficit and the pond levels are still.dropping but the tar river has actually returned to normal flow
 
@SD Started my job 23 years ago. First winter we had the Dec 3rd bruiser coastal. The first 8-10 years from October to April we wore long clothes. Usually 2 pair of pants 3 shirts and a coat. Now it's January 6th and I'm in a short sleeve shirt with the big ceiling fan running. Somethings changing!

Whew thought I was gonna miss out on a storm the 13th-14th. Gotta head down to Brunswick Nuclear next week for 5 weeks(wilmington). But I'm not gonna miss a flake thank goodness!
 
@SD I think it's length and duration of cold events. Outside of 2018 our cold shots are a.couple.days with warm ups inbetween. Seems the warehouse got cold and stayed cold because the longer it stayed cold the colder the thick concrete floor and walls retained that cold air.....basically turned us into a cooler. Some days it would be 60 or 70 outside sure but the warehouse always stayed cold until spring. We haven't been seeing sustained cold spells it seems recently.

Yeah I can agree it certainly seems that way but I'm not sure how much of that is us remembering the cold more than warm or it's really true. I'm not here to start a GW debate but our averages for winter went up so some warming has taken place but I do think we are far more likely to remember it being 35/15 than 58/31
