None — February 2012 may feel warm compared to last winter, but in reality, meteorologist Katie Virtue says we're actually about 3 degrees cooler on average than February 2011. Last winter started very cold in December 2010/January 2011. Then temperatures significantly warmed up through February and March. We set an all-time February high of 82 degrees on Feb. 27, 2011.
Despite the mild stretch, temperatures have stayed closer to average so far this month. We've warmed up above 70 degrees only three times, compared to nine times last year.
FACT:
Charlotte officially tied the record high temperature for today's date.
Today's high is 76 degrees at 3PM. The previous record was 76 degrees back in 1980.
