Mother Nature Is Not Done With Winter Yet -- Didn't That Muskrat Predict An End To Winter, Already? -- February 26, 2019

Wow, when Mother Nature is on a roll, she's on a roll. This is weather, not climate. So, we're not talking about global warming, we're just talking about a very crazy winter.

First it was reported that North Dakota is experiencing the second coldest February on record (and by some measures, the coldest February ever).

Then it was reported that Los Angeles is experiencing the coldest February in 60 years.

And it's not over.

If the forecasts for first week of March are verified, one of the coldest weeks of the winter season, compared to normal, is on its way.
At peak, it will feel more like midwinter than early spring for much of the Lower 48.
"The most unusually cold air in the Northern Hemisphere is set to nose-dive into the U.S. to start March," tweeted Ben Noll, an atmospheric scientist based overseas.
What that means on the ground is that large portions of the north-central U.S. could struggle to get above zero, with widespread nighttime lows in the minus-10 to minus-20 range a decent bet in that same region. It's also possible that every state except perhaps Georgia, South Carolina and Florida will face high temperatures at or below freezing during the stretch.
Years ago I remember all those stories about oranges freezing in Florida. I haven't heard those stories in a long, long time. Maybe we're back to "normal."

This has to be very confusing for the millennials.
