The overall event was remarkably well predicted (see our April 2 advance write-up). And in the midst of severe pressure on staffing and infrastructure driven by massive cuts to NOAA budgets this year, the National Weather Service persisted, issuing many dozens of lifesaving tornado and flash flood warnings.

NOAA’s summary of winter 2024-25 for the contiguous 48 states, released on March 10, closed the books with a verdict you might have guessed: despite some prolonged chilliness at certain times and places, and one winter storm for the ages, it was far less fierce than most of the winters dished out through the late 20th century. The average 48-state temperature for meteorological winter (December through February) came in at 34.09 degrees Fahrenheit (1.16 degrees Celsius).
