Central Nebraska is closing in on being the warmest on record. Today's high of 55 and tomorrows projected high of 60 will seal the deal. What is going on?
In a nutshell...the jetstream...that high ridge of air that flows from west to east across the US has shifted farther north this year. That shift occurred in very early December.
The one side of me is loving it!! Late March weather in January.
The other side is remembering the old Farmer's warning...(my 85 year old Father in Law)...Warm, dry winters mean hot, dry summers.
I hope he is wrong there...but right now January has been way warmer than November or December were and I did not see anything to indicate February will be colder.
We have only had 3 days in January of 2012 that the high temp was below freezing...but we had 20 days that the high was over 40! The average high for January here is 36.8.
Last year we barely got above 0 (zero) for 2 weeks... What a difference!!
Oh...did I mention that I am not complaining?
