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.

An analysis of 76 years of temperature data from about a mile above the ground reveals that the amount of cold air above the Northern Hemisphere this winter is near a record low, indicating the planet’s warming climate. The depleted cold-air supply has led to less vigorous blasts of Arctic air and more frequent and intense mild weather. This winter’s cold pool will finish as the second-smallest on record, continuing a trend of shrinking winter cold pools. The shrinking cold pool coincides with what is likely to be one of the warmest winters on record, with many locations in the United States experiencing record warmth. The dominance of upper-air warm extremes is consistent with heat records outpacing cold records, highlighting the impact of climate change.
