A. We have continued to enjoy temperatures well above normal through most of February 2012, making this year?s Dec. 1?Feb. 20 the fifth-warmest on record with an average temperature of 28.3F in Madison. Barring an exceptionally warm last week of the month (which does not appear likely), that is where we will end up ? the fifth-warmest winter (defined as December, January, February) of all time in Madison.
