NOAA: Insanely HIGH Temperatures Across USA in February It’s been a wicked scorcher in the Western USA this winter. This temperature map tells the tale quite well. Salt Lake City, UT averaged 16ºF above average from February 1st – 16th. Whoa.. “We seem to be running out of adjectives to describe this winter, but “incredible” seems to cover it, both in the western and the northeastern United States. Here’s yet another way to look at the very anomalous temperatures observed across the country this February.” – NOAA, Salt Lake City SnowBrains | February 19, 2015 8 Comments
