it had to end

Friday was the first day in the last 47 (!) with below average temperatures. Despite good sun, it felt “wintery” with daytime temperature mostly in the 20s, (the day’s highs actually came with the predawn cloud cover and were 30ish.

The string of 46 consecutive days with above average goes back to February 8th.

When the consecutive streak started, the normal average daily temperature was 18 degrees and when it ended (march 26th) the normal daily average temperature was 34 degrees.

Not only is this amazing just for the number of days, but for the fact that it wasn’t just a slightly above most of those days, but well above; it actually averaged 9.0 degrees warmer than normal during that incredible stretch.
