Last month was coldest February in US since 1989

[OnlinePoker]

If you felt like last month's bitter cold was chillier than in previous years, that's because it was colder than normal in most places. New data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released last week marked February 2021 as record cold in comparison to previous years.

February 2021 was the coldest February for the United States in over 30 years, according to the NOAA report, and the coldest February for the entire globe since 2014. North America, Scandinavia and northern Asia were all significantly below average in temperature last month. Each of those regions measured temperatures at least 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit below average.

The central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, Australia and parts of the southern oceans were also notably colder during February 2021 in comparison to recent years.

2. Interesting.

I'm in Santa Fe, and while we don't get the bitter cold that many other places get, it has only gotten up to 60 degrees once or twice, when it normally should have gotten to that point quite regularly in the past few weeks. I knew I wasn't imagining, or mis-remembering what it is normally like here.
