Long Island, New York (east of NYC)  The main takeaways for 2018 (no order): 1. Super wet outside of summer 2. 3x normal snowfall 3. Super cold early January 4. Consistent + high Florida-level humidity of July, August, and September. March got 31.9" of snow and December got none, despite December having a colder average low and a colder minimum.  |

March is notoriously snowy month for the entire northeast US (if there is cold to work with obviously). |

December 2018 was slightly above normal in terms of temperatures despite having a cooler than normal average high. December was also somewhat above normal in terms of precipitation and was a cloudier than average month. Average High: 64.0F (-0.8F) Mean: 52.4F (+0.5F) Average Low 40.9F (+1.8F) Highest Temperature: 75F Lowest Temperature: 26F Lowest High: 49F Highest Low: 49F Precipitation: 1.50" (161% of normal) This was a fairly interesting year of weather for the two locations I lived in (Key Biscayne, FL and Tucson, AZ) January, March, May, June, July, August, October, and November were cooler than normal. February, April, September, and December were above normal with April and December being slightly so and February and September being record warm. May was incredibly rainy and cloudy, recording almost 17 inches of precip and roughly 80 sun hours, one of the gloomiest months I've ever experienced. December was fairly warm until the end of the month at which time a strong cold snap settled into the Southwestern United States, a cold snap which would bring snow to Tucson on the first and second of January.  |

Slightly above average in terms of temperatures across the Snowy Mountains; annual mean of 8.7° C, which comprises an annual mean maximum of 14.6° C, and an annual mean minimum of 2.7° C. Markedly below average for precipitation during the warmer months; around or above average during the cooler months. Notwithstanding lower precipitation figures during the warmer half of the year, drizzle was aplenty; 175 precipitation days; 43 snowy days, with above average snowfall. Frequent storm activity, as usual. Sourced climate data from Tantangara Reservoir AWS (Snowy Hydro automatic weather station— not BOM):  Tantangara Reservoir AWS (Murrumbidgee-Eucumbene Catchment); 1,239 m AMSL; 35° 48' 17.27" S  ^And yes, I took this myself  |

I think I had both the rainiest and hottest month on this forum. Of those of us who made wiki boxes anyway, Firebird definitely had a hotter month.

Someone should work that out: who had the most anomalous months. Most anomalously warm, cold, wet, dry, etc. I would do it, but I don't know where all the sources are, and I doubt it would be easy to get everyone to post every anomaly for every month. |

Bluefield had an amazing summer. I wonder what Bluefield's average weatherbox looks like. Might be one of the better 4 seasonal climates in the US.

December was 3C above average, a very welcome and pleasant change compared to the mostly below average fall we’ve had this year. And the averages were brought down because of a cold snap in the last week of the month, the rest of it was even warmer with nearly the entire middle half featuring highs right around freezing and lows above -10C (aka perfect winter weather for me). It was also a very dry month with only 4.5mm of precipitation spread out over 9 days (the snow equivalent of drizzle, I guess, which is very normal here in mid-winter). Sunshine was also very slightly above average. Average high: -5.1C (normal: -8.0) Average low: -15.3 (normal: -18.3) Precipitation: 4.5mm (normal: 12.9) Precipitation days: 9 (normal: 9.7) Sunshine: 89.1 (normal: 86.5) Overall a good month, I’d be happy if this was a normal winter month in Saskatoon. I don’t have the time or energy to do a full 2018 summary tonight but that will be coming in the hopefully near future. In the meantime, the 2018 weatherbox:  |
