At this time step (60 years) increasing values need to be ~120% to be statistically significant using a Mann-Kendall test. Decreasing levels are statistically significant below ~82%.
On this map, 844 counties are increasing at a statistically significant level, 14 are decreasing, and the remaining 2,258 are not statistically significant.
On this map, 3,084 counties are warming at a statistically significant level, 0 are cooling at a statistically significant level, and the remaining 31 are warming but do not meet the 95% statistical significance threshold.
Winter update! The latest cloud (model) forecast shows that Punxsutawney Phil will not see his shadow. It's going to be an early Spring folks. Plan accordingly. #LockItIn
Is there some sort of award for using a Day 12 model output to forecast a rodent's shadow? Asking for me.
Last week, I pulled every Feb 29 daily climate record (temp/precip/snow/snow depth) for every station in the U.S. and Canada. Expect to hear more about this in the coming week. 😀 @Junah_B
@Junah_B The coldest U.S. Canada temp ever measured on a Feb 29th was -66°F at Hughes, Alaska, in 1956. #akwx@AlaskaWx 2/
