Heat waves in the middle of... February?!

By
Wow, what a warm day Feb 10, 2024 was! I'm writing this about 12:30am on Feb 11, 2024, and it's STILL WAY above what it should be - my local weather station is reading 39.2°F (4°C) as of 12:22am along with some other readings. Here's what the readings are as of 12:25am on 2/11/24.

Local weather station: 39.2°F (4.0°C) as of 12:22am 2/11 *UNOFFICIAL
Barnes AFB (Westfield MA): 38°F (3.3°C) as of 11:53pm 2/10
Westover AFB (Chicopee MA, official records for local TV stations): 40°F (4.4°C) as of 11:55pm 2/10

Keep in mind, it's February. But I'm not done yet. Here's what the max temp was on 2/10/24 (and 2/10/23, the old record)

Feb 10, 2024 max temps
Local weather station: 58.8°F (14.9°C) +0.9°F (+0.5°C)
Barnes AFB (Westfield MA): 59°F (15.0°C) +2°F (+1.1°C)
Westover AFB (Chicopee MA): 58°F (14.4°C) +0.6°F (+0.3°C)
It should be 34°F (1.1°C) as a HIGH temp, and ALL stations are above that IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT as of just after midnight on 2/11/24.
To clarify, per a website I use, from where I am, at this time of day (night!), it should be about 24°F (-4.4°C), so right NOW, it is STILL about 15°F (8.3°C) ABOVE average!

Feb 10, 2023 max temps (previous record)
Local weather station: 57.9°F (14.4°C)
Barnes AFB: 57°F (13.9°C)
Westover AFB: 57.4°F (14.1°C)

Yes, these temps are insane. But NOTHING compared to 2/21/18, when it was 74.3°F (23.5°C) at Westover AFB and an UNBELIEVEABLE 79°F (26.1°C) at Barnes AFB!
That is the highest February temp we've EVER had, and you want me to tell you what happened that day for me?
A trip to the Holyoke Mall (this was during February vacation, so I was at the Springfield JCC) and playing on the playground IN SHORTS! (This was February vacation, and it felt like summer vacation!)

The most recent day with weather like THAT was April 14, 2023, when it reached 94.5°F (34.7°C) at the local weather station, 93.9°F (34.4°C) at Barnes AFB, and 92.3°F (33.5°C) at Westover MORE THAN TWO MONTHS before the official start of summer, and more than a month before Memorial Day, when all the summer attractions open!

OK, I have to get to bed. Just saying:
It was a record breaking warm day yesterday!

Have a great night! ✌️😎🌙

Happy June! Aren't you glad that school is almost over? (or already is if you are in college) My last day of school is June 24th! Summer is just around the corner! I'm very sorry I haven't posted lately, and that's just because it takes a lot of time to do a blog post, and I haven't had much time lately. But I want to start June on a nice note and start blog posting again! So, here's what I did yesterday, May 31 2019: I went to Chuck E Cheese! I have not been there since Dec 12 2015! (my 12th birthday) We went to support Mom's school that she works at, and I had a semi-good time. Unfortunately, the arcade was not the best time, but also not the worst. It's just because the jackpots were very low, and the arcade only had like 20 games, and the fact that most were kid-themed games. (like Paw Patrol) I had a good time on some of the games, but like I said, the jackpots were very low (but that's only because little kids can't comprehend big jackpo...

Personal note: Blogging is SO (before) 2022. Stay up to date with my content in 2023 onwards on my Instagram @tr27.official  (follow if you want to, it's up to you.) 325 followers as of 3:08PM EST, 12/31/2022.

My High School Years: Episode II (9/14/18)

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 2. Summary: I went to a tag sale and found a 2000s relic: A 1GB MEMORY CARD! I also went with Dad to Holyoke Mall to eat, and I also went to Holyoke Mall to get Melanie's new phone! Believe it or not, this was the last week that they sold the iPhone X; see my post about that  here . I also went to River Valley Market, and that was fun. I went to the YMCA to pick up Melanie. I went to the dentist, which was a quick 10 minutes and EASY. I also went to Kisara. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E3 ! Updated 2/18/19.
