I must admitt...
That you got that "late spring" thing right. April 18th, 2018 here in SE MN , 4-7 inches of new snow falling as I speak !
Please let this be over :-(
how to read this chart.
How do you read the Nov. 2017 to Oct. 2018 chart? what is this -8 and -1 stuff? for instance the precipitation in May? a full -1 inches? Someone please help?
The plus or minus 8 is above
The plus or minus 8 is above or below average temps for the month, the plus or minus 1 is above or below average precipitation for the month.
False spring ?
Anyway here in southern MN we can expect another False Spring Day with temps very pleasant for mid February !
So where did "False Spring" originate from? Thanks!
Temperatures
Well, this winter in MN (twin towns) has been well below normal temps across the board. “Average high” of low to high 20s in Jan/Feb has been very elusive- and the almanac forecast was for above average temps.
Let’s hope the yearly forecast continues to be wrong so this summer isn’t 90s and humid after all...
Keep trying, Almanac! I know the science isn’t easy during the Trump years...
