Yes, your winter/spring weather HAS been weird. Here's proof:

go to this page, put in your zip or city/state, and check out the monthly temp history vs. historical average temps.
A calender for each month AND, below that, a graph for the month you choose is on the page.
( Page opens to New York, of course you can change it)
http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/new-york-ny/10017/may-weather/349727

the graph has a straight line for "normal" temps, and a zig zag pattern for actual temps.

I found, by going thru each month since Dec. that our area has either been above normal or below normal, often in the same WEEK!
by as much as 20 degrees.
Couple days overly hot, few days way below normal cool, rinse repeat, for the past 4 months.
and what the graph does not show, is that our famously sunny winter skies have been mostly cloudy that same time.

We are currently running 5-6 degrees above normal for the rest of this week.

What did you find for your area? Any surprises??
