If youre looking for warm weather, consider Alaska, cause it aint happening here.
Anchorage has been warmer than Omaha this month and the Alaskan city also has the better forecast for the next few days.
Good news, though: The latest long-term outlook calls for cold to loosen its grip on the Midlands.
Warmth is expected to move in from the west, gradually pushing out the cold.

It was snowing!!! I did slip and fall just now but, I barely felt it, so I'm happy. It's snowing, it's warm, the snow can cover up the ooogly dirty, dingy snow. Yay!!

Thus, this is not surprising. Climate change is truly fucking things up.
