Oh sorry, I meant the kind of denial when you subconsciously don’t want to believe something because it’s so horrible.

Why do you think that the span of what you’ve experienced in your lifetime is indicative at all to what’s “normal?”

I’m actually a Geographer and one of my hobbies is studying historical weather data for the tri state area. If conditions hold, this will be the warmest January since records were kept, which I assure you is much longer than I’ve been alive.

We’re not even halfway through January lol. And you referenced “your experience” in a prior post as a comparison point.

Based on the data I’ve seen and the current weather forecasts, I guarantee you this January will be in the top five warmest of all time. I’ll message you on February 1st to say I told you so.

It was 9 degrees less than 1 week before New Years
