Comparing Winter Average Temperatures Across the United States

Some great data from  StateDataLab.org, the best government watchdog number crunchers on the planet.

Below is their chart comparing winter average temperatures in California, Illinois, and New York to the 50 state average.

  1. Average temperature can be misleading because urban heat island effect plays a considerable role in it. Although in the span of that chart, the last 20 years there would not be much of an influence. It is an issue with longer spans of time.

    Tony Heller does an analysis of hot and cold days that shows its getting colder in the USA. Not dramatically, but slowly. He puts some of the plots in this recent video: https://youtu.be/W-Wq_LwusLY
