Any sources of information that could help me to find out the longest period on record between lows at or below zero in Indianapolis?I suspect the decades of the early to mid 20th century could hold such a record to date. The longest period in recent winters has been around two years between subzero temperatures.

Found it from NOWData (National Weather Service).

Almost 4 years, February 19, 1936 to January 5, 1940 ~ 3 years, 10 months, 17 days.

Last sub-zero temperature in Indianapolis was January 31, 2019, so almost 2 years.

In Nashville, TN, it's been since February 5, 1996 ~ 24 years, 11 months, and 17 days. That means that there are adults in this area who have never experienced a sub-zero temperature.

The record before the 1996-present stretch was just 7 years, 23 days from January 2, 1887 to January 25, 1894.

I'm not sure how we went from no spells of much over 7 years to having full-grown adults, graduated from college, living on their own, paying bills, etc who have never lived through a sub-zero temperature.

So the "king of models" says we are going to get 22 inches of snow next week. Lock it in

The National Weather Service right now says 6"+ is "possible".

48°F with a wind chill of 44°F at 3am, headed to 63°F this afternoon (Riverside, CA)

Today's averages are 69°F/44°F

The Sunday night-Monday storm could bring us something. But it also could not. We seem to be stuck right on the rain-snow line. The NWS right now is going more rain than anything. We could get a very light icing or snow accumulation Sunday before a break. Then Sunday night we may get another light icing accumulation before changing to rain shortly after daybreak Monday. A better chance for snow comes Wednesday night but as of now, that looks to be pretty light as well.

After a break from seasonal temps yesterday where we came just shy of 50F, today won't even get out of the 20s.

Supposed to get back into the mid 80s for my area for next week. At least it'll be dry and not too humid unlike the late summer months (and October).

There are probably a lot more people attempting to grow with some degree of success cold hardy varieties of palm trees since 1996 versus the years before, eh?
