Any DUers know the last time it was 52 degrees in Miami on 2nd November??

[malaise]

Is this a first?
What's up with all this snow in parts of the South so early.

1. Is there another polar vortex on its way? Early stages? nt

12. my assumption based on no facts but what me thinks

bought a hat and scarf today and if i spent some $$ that will seem wasted by a warm winter I will be happy

[roguevalley]

30. its predicted for the east this year. its global warming. We have no

snow but its cold here. No snow in November in Alaska.

2. And it's 55 in Minneapolis. Go figure.

3. record low was 54 in 1993

So, if it was 52, that's a new record.

10. So says ABC news in Florida

Interesting

4. Well, I can tell you it's never been 49 degrees in West Palm Beach on Nov 2nd

Because we hit a record low this morning. It was only 50 degrees at 10:30 and my children looked like little eskimos on our walk.

11. Thanks

They must have looked very cute

16. I'm in downtown WPB, right on the intracoastal...Too cold to even walk and the wind was wicked...n/t

21. Hey,

[monmouth4]

23. Thanks. Been here many years, new laptop, forgotten password, ergo

become a newbie...LOL...

27. Unfortunately,no..

[kdmorris]

24. I'm actually further south

And not as near the coast.

I rode my bike this morning in 60 degree weather, but the wind was very unhappy making!!

[monmouth4]

25. Supposed to go into the 70s later on. I'm counting on it.

5. Weather is not climate. Let's not respond like the Fox News idiots.

Please!

6. Probably as long ago as an all day rain storm in north central NM

with the temperature in the mid 50s. Chilly there, rainy here, but extremely unusual events.

[LeftInTX]

7. The average low is a balmy 70

[LWolf]

8. While in my area,

the highs have been in the 50s and 60s, and we've had exactly one hard frost...when the norm for now includes lows in the 20s heading to the teens, and highs in the 30s and 40s, heading for the dark frozen time when we can go days without ever approaching a temperature above freezing.

9. Our temps in Alaska are about seasonal

but we haven't had much snow yet, just one snowfall on Oct 20, about an inch here in the Anchorage bowl. I read that this is another year for the vortex, which means our winter will be mild and yours won't be.

13. Halloween 91 or 92

The kids wore winter coats for trick or treating but I don't recall the temp. We moved to N Central Fl in late 92. It's going down to the 30s tonight. I don't ever remember this cold this early here.

[malaise]

19. Same here

That's why I'm curious

[RebelOne]

14. I remember a record low in Miami in the 1980s of 15 degrees.

I think that was the coldest it has ever been. All the cars were lined up at the service stations to get anti-freeze.

[Rstrstx]

15. Miami's all-time record low is 27

Teens were recorded on much of the Florida peninsula in a round of cold snaps during the 1980s but certainly nowhere close to Miami.

[malaise]

18. I've been in Miami for lower than 52 degrees

but it was never at the beginning of November.

[Rstrstx]

28. It's rare but not unheard of

Sunday's reading of 52 was indeed the record low for Nov 2. Saturday's record was also 52, set in 1993. The record for today is 54, Tuesday's record is 50 and Wednesday's record is 45. So while definitely unusual it's not unprecedented.

[malaise]

17. Surely not on November 2? n/t

[hobbit709]

20. Yesterday morning here in Austin it was 39°. This morning it's 55°.

As the saying here goes "Don't like the weather in TX? Wait five minutes-it will change."

[meaculpa2011]

22. I landed in Miami in February back in the early 80s and...

I thought that they had turned the A/C in the terminal down to freezing.

Outside temperature was 35 degrees, but it was 2 below in NY so I was ahead of the game.

That week it was never above 65 in Key West and went into the 40s nearly every night.

Then again, the worst winter I've experienced was Maine in August. 30s every night. Water temperature in the low 50s. Inhaling mosquitoes. A lovely vacation.

My grandmother told me that they saw an occasional snowfall (dusting) in her hometown of Conversano in Italy. She was born in 1894 and left Italy in 1921.

29. If it is sunny and calm,

52° is shorts and t-shirt weather.
