As temperatures continue to dip and snow accumulates, support for the claim human-caused global warming is causing winters to disappear is melting like ice under a heat lamp.
Cold temperature records were tied or broken at more than 2,000 locations in the past week. According to the weather website Sunshine Hours, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recorded 2,634 record-low high temperatures broken or tied between February 19 and February 25. Over the same period, 272 locations registered record-low temperatures at least one day during the week. All these records are falling without the influence of the polar vortex that set thousands of record lows throughout the nation in 2014.
On February 27, every area east of the Rocky Mountains, except Florida, experienced below-average temperatures.
New York City set a record for its coldest February ever, recording an average temperature of 24° F for the month, 11° F below the historic average.
The Midwest and the Great Lakes states were not spared the record chill. Record-low temperatures were set in Columbus, Ohio (-11° F), Chicago (-10° F), Dubuque, Iowa (-17° F), Flint, Michigan (-17° F), Grand Rapids, Michigan (-10° F), and Indianapolis, Indiana (-5° F).
Farther south, on February 27, Oklahoma (23° F) and Dallas, Texas (30° F) each set records for the lowest maximum temperature recorded on that date.
