62-degree temperature range experienced in February

How often will we experience a month with temperatures showing a 62-degree range? Or, a month when the average temperature is 11.2 degrees above the normal average?

We experienced this in February, according to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.

• February 2017’s low temperature of 11 degrees on Feb. 9, and the high of 73 degrees on Feb. 24, proved it is possible.

• February 2017’s average daily temperature of 39.2 degrees, compared to the normal average February daily temperature of 28.6, also provided it possible.

• February’s 2017’s had three record high temperatures, which follow:

Feb. 17 - new high 63; old high 59 degrees in 2011
Feb. 18 - new high 69; old high 60 degrees in 1981
Feb. 19 - new high 65; old high 64 degrees in 1994
