What do you notice right off…its not that it’s regional but fairly widespread, Midwest, into the Northeast seeing the most. But, there are no cold records. This is not being picked up much by the Mainstream Media, or otherwise, and some are frankly “omitting” this information. This is when politics and science collide – and it appears that an overheating planet – is now POLITICALLY CORRECT much like the state of Florida and their “Sunny day Flooding” due to sea level rise.

Note to all — Weather has now become so jointed with extreme right-wing politics, I fear data loss/omission is just starting. What next with MAGA NOAA – no “Heat Warnings/Advisories, omission of high-temperature records, and on and on due to the “political chill” of source GHG’s.
What have we become? How does this serve 99% of us? We are not even ready for the 20th of January yet. Politics at the federal level – is what I’ve experienced in my 50 plus years in meteorology 3 US Army, 12 NWS, but only much more subtly. Now it’s wide open, bought and paid for by oligarchy.
