It's not just the snowfall, the numbers show how near-historically cold it's been around Utah this winter. Like, really, REALLY cold!
The local National Weather Service office shared numbers Wednesday that show exactly how cold it's been. During the period between November and February, Salt Lake City had the fifth lowest number of days above 50 degrees in the city's history dating back to the 1800s.
Currently, 2023 has been brutal for those wanting to get outside in a pair of shorts and t-shirt as only two days have surpassed the 50 degree mark, and a big zero in February.Logan has experienced just four days above 50 degrees, tying for fourth fewest. Even in southern Utah it's been abnormally chilly with the third fewest days above the mark in Cedar City.
If the bar is raised to 60 degrees on the thermometer, it's been 121 days since Salt Lake City felt downright balmy compared to current temperatures.The National Weather Service is forecasting a 70% chance that Salt Lake City will hit the 50+ degree mark on Friday, and a 90% chance by next Tuesday. And those with sunny dispositions who want to be truly optimistic can focus on the 20% chance given to temperatures even reaching 60 degrees next week.
