REJOICE! It is above freezing in DC. 💃🕺

Just barely, but it counts.

233 hours at or below freezing, now concluded with a 2p of 33. This ends a 9-day streak at or below freezing. It is tied for 5th longest on record since 1872! Only second time this long since 1936.

1. Back in the 1970's

I had an outside job in central Pa. One year the whole month of February never got above zero for a high.

No one got sick.

2. Same here in New England

temperatures today are expected to reach a high of 33 F,

But with forecast highs this weekend in the single digits, lows below zero, and windchills of minus 10 to 20 below it is but a brief pause in this brutal winter.

3. We need the cold.
