Only four days in February did the high temperature not reach 32 degrees.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates that is unheard of for this time of the year. He would be surprised if February did not end up one of the top 10 warmest on record.

According to Shimon, the cold air is staying to the north and hasn't been able to find its way to the upper-midwest.

Looking ahead to March, Shimon indicates we're trending for an above-normal trend for both temperatures and precipitation. He anticipates a big winter storm event before it's all said and done. 

He'll break down the March weather patterns and what the outlooks are showing later this week on Regional Radio News.
