If you’re looking for warm weather, consider Alaska, ‘cause it ain’t happening here.

Anchorage has been warmer than Omaha this month — and the Alaskan city also has the better forecast for the next few days.

Good news, though: The latest long-term outlook calls for cold to loosen its grip on the Midlands.

Warmth is expected to move in from the west, gradually pushing out the cold.

2. I just went outside to give my kids to my mom for the weekend.

It was snowing!!! I did slip and fall just now but, I barely felt it, so I'm happy. It's snowing, it's warm, the snow can cover up the ooogly dirty, dingy snow. Yay!!

5. Been 20-25 degrees below average for much of Feb in SW WI.

8. The entire west coast has been without a winter this year.

Thus, this is not surprising. Climate change is truly fucking things up.
