Tom Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I went on a rather difficult, yet scenic hike yesterday morning tucked in the northeast valley. The trail, Tom’s Thumb, was 5.1 miles round trip (1,045 elevation gain) and a peak elevation of 3,868 ft. At the base, the temp was 50F but up top it was quite breezy and chilly. I’d guess in the low/mid 40’s. The skies very deep blue and clear. It was a very busy day on the trails (snow birds, vacationers) are the usual culprits this time of year.

This is a view E/SE on top of the trail towards Fountain Hills where you can see the man-made pond in the middle of the picture. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzcoat Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Still an outside chance that DSM loses another tenth - but as of 8:35pm the avg temp for FEB for KDSM is 15.3F. That puts FEB 2021 as the 7th coldest FEB on record. Here are the top 10. FEB 2021 was also the 34th coldest month ever recorded including Jan and Dec going back to 1878. TOP 10 Coldest FEB for KDSM 1936- 8.0F (one of DSM top 5 weather/climate stats of all time imo) 1978 - 13.3F 1979 - 13.8F 1885 - 14.4F 1905 - 14.8F 1929 - 15.2F 2021- 15.3F 1989- 15.4F 1899- 15.6F 1904- 16.7F 7 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Grizzcoat Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Fairly certain the low of 25F at midnight pushed FEB 2021 into a tie of 6th coldest FEB all time for KDSM. Reason for my post above. Will see how CPC rules this in the future but in the last 6 hours KDSM lost .2F in avg temp for the month based on a low of 34F going to 25F for the 28th. It all matters... 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Clinton Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Coldest Feb since 89 in KC NWS Kansas City · 58m As we close the book on February and immortalize it by freezing it shut, we finished the month 10.3 degrees below normal at 23.2 degrees . That makes it the 7th coldest Feb on the 133-year record for KC and coldest in 32 years (1989)! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstorm83 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 5th coldest February in Lincoln and 6th in Omaha. Pretty impressive when the only years ahead are 1899, 1936, 1978, and 1979. LNK may be 6th as well if 1875 was included, which was up there for OMA, but LNK didn't record temperatures then. It could be decades before we see a month as extreme as this again, I'm glad I lived it. Other stats for Lincoln: 5th snowiest February (16.6") -31 is the coldest Feb temp recorded -First sub zero high (-4) since 1996 -17 days of 10"+ snow depth this month beats previous record of 11, though I can only find snow depth stats back to 1948 7 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" 2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKwx2k4 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Data I have puts Tulsa's February temps at 31.4 as an average. Good enough for 4th coldest of all-time and one of only 6 February listing all-time that have been below freezing. <5% likelihood. Incredible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm83 Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Some of the coldest anomalies were in Nebraska! Make sense considering snowpack was much deeper than KS and the dakotas. We were lucky this year.
