.CLIMATE...
WHILE DAYS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S ARE WELL ABOVE AVERAGES
FOR THE WINTER MONTHS IN THE MID ATLC...THEY ARE NOT UNUSUAL.
ACTUALLY...IT IS RELATIVELY UNUSUAL TO NOT HAVE A FEW DAYS IN THE
70S DURING METEOROLOGICAL WINTER (DEC-FEB) AT RICHMOND AND
NORFOLK...AND THIS SEASON NOW HAS 1 AT RIC...3 AT ORF AND STILL ZERO
AT SBY. THE FOLLOWING TABLE DEPICTS THE AVG NUMBER OF DAYS DURING
METEOROLOGICAL WINTER WITH HIGHS AT OR ABOVE 70 F FOR THE PERIOD
1949/50-2009/10. THE TABLE ALSO THEN BREAKS THIS DOWN BY ENSO
CONDITIONS...SHOWING THAT LA NINA SEASONS TEND TO HAVE MORE 70+ DAYS
THAN OTHER SEASONS (CURRENT SEASON 2010/11 IS LA NINA). OF
NOTE...THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A LA NINA SEASON THAT FAILED TO REACH 70
F AT RICHMOND AND NORFOLK. FINAL PART OF THE TABLE SHOWS THE SEASON
WITH THE MOST SINCE RECORDS BEGAN (1874 AT NORFOLK...1897 AT
RICHMOND...AND 1906 AT SBY).

NUMBER OF DAYS WITH HIGHS OF 70 F OR HIGHER DURING DEC-FEB:

          AVG (ALL)..AVG/EL NINO...AVG/LA NINA....MOST (SEASON)
RICHMOND...4.4 DAYS...2.8 DAYS......6.3 DAYS....13 DAYS (1975/76)
