This Christmas Was Super Cold, But It Wasn’t The Coldest Ever Here.
December 26, 2022
This Christmas was really bitterly cold in North Escambia. But it was not record-breaking cold.
The coldest Christmas on record in Escambia County was back in 1983 when the official thermometer at the Pensacola airport fell to 11 degrees. This year, the coldest temperature recording in North Escambia was 18 degrees at Northview High School in Bratt.

Native, you are so right. Perdido Bay along Lillian Hwy was frozen over for quite a bit offshore. I drove past that area that morning and saw people walking on the frozen ice. I also saw a VW Beetle being driven on it. It was amazing to see.

Over the last 40 years, the median global temperature has risen by about 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
2 degrees doesn’t sound like much, but it is enough to cause phytoplankton to die off, coral reefs to bleach, glaciers to recede, and climate to change.
These people must have been trying to kill their overgrown azaleas. Ha!

1983 to 2022 is not weather, it’s climate. Looks like our weather still fluctuates along the same median during the past 40 years.

Scientists: “Earth’s climate is rapidly changing. If we don’t act, we can expect to see mass extinctions, rising sea levels, and more severe weather events, including blizzards, hurricanes, and heat waves”
*Those things happen*
Guys who ate glue instead of paying attention during Science: “So much for global warming lol”
JR:
Climate is not weather.
Weather is short-term, climate is long term for a region.
Sorry to knock over your eggnog but, anything under 60° is to cold for me and considered record breaking.
This global warming climate change is so terribly awful. (Read sarcasm!)
My oldest daughter was born in August that year. It was so cold that Christmas.
I remember that Christmas in 1983. Perdido Bay actually partially froze. I have pictures walking on ice about 100 feet from shore.
