"Record-Breaking Warmth: The US Misses Out on Winter 2023-24"
TL;DR Summary
The US experienced its warmest winter on record, leading to significant snow and ice deficits, worsening drought conditions in the Midwest, and a lack of cold air that shattered chances for prolonged, expansive ice coverage across the Great Lakes. The unusual warmth has had a serious impact on small businesses that rely on snow and winter tourism, prompting governors to encourage seeking federal assistance. This record warmth is another clear signal of the impact of human-caused planet-warming emissions on global temperatures.
