2005年2月及2004-2005年冬季圣克劳德天气摘要
2005年2月的气温连续第六个月低于正常水平. 根据圣克劳德地区机场的统计数据, the February average temperature was 22.7°F, 6.5°F warmer than normal. 因此，自1881年圣克劳德有记录以来，2005年2月是第15个最温和的2月。20 Warmest Februaries/Winters). Since 1990, 有7个2月位列最温暖的20个月之一, including 5 Februaries since 1998. 这包括1998年2月，这是圣克劳德有记录以来最热的2月(平均气温:29.6°F).
具有讽刺意味的是，在过去的一个月里，圣克劳德不得不大幅降温，才能成为第15个最温暖的冬天. 二零零五年二月头两星期的平均气温为28度.0°F (avg. high 36.9°F, avg. low 19.1°F), more than 14.5°F above normal. 事实上，这些温度在3月13日至16日更为典型。March Saint Cloud normals) During Feb. 1-14, 10个日最高气温记录持平或被打破, 包括二月首五日的9项纪录(February Daily Records). 14天中有8天的最高气温至少为40华氏度，只有3天的最高气温低于30华氏度. (February 2005 Daily Statistics)只有三天的最低气温低于华氏11度，还有一天低于零度. 如果这个月剩下的时间像前两周那样温和的话, 这将是有记录以来第三热的二月.
然而，在2月的最后两周，情况急剧降温. The average temperature of 17.4°F (26.4°F avg. high, 8.4°F avg. 在2月的中下旬，气温接近正常水平，但在今年2月下降了10%.6°F colder than the first half of February. Between Feb. 15-28日，最高气温没有超过33°F，最低气温有7次低于10°F. 这种突然变化的原因是两个高压系统的强化:一个沿着北美西海岸，另一个在格陵兰岛上空. 这些高压的增强有助于保持北部平原上空的西北气流, 让加拿大气团在该州上空移动. 这些冷空气团缺乏1月或12月的冷空气涌动的冲击力, 但仍然让我们远离了有史以来最温暖的二月.
总体而言，圣克劳德的平均气象冬季(12月15日). 1 - Feb. 28) temperature of 17.8°F (avg. high: 26.6°F; avg. low: 8.9华氏度)与过去两周的情况相似. This winter 2004-2005 temperature was 4.6°F milder than normal, 考虑到冬季三个月的气温都高于正常水平，其中12月和2月的气温明显高于正常水平，这也就不足为奇了.(历史上圣克劳德的月平均气温)这与1890-1891年和1913-1914年并列第17个最温暖的冬天. 在过去的8个冬天中，有5个在圣克劳德记录的20个最温暖的冬天中排名.(20 Warmest Februaries/Winters)
和去年冬天的情况一样，2004-2005年的冬天也出现了一些非常寒冷的时期. 最显著的时期是1月13日至18日, 包括连续4天气温在零度或零度以下(整个寒冷季节共5天), 结束了连续4天低于零的第三长差距. 上一次连续4天气温低于零度是在1997年1月25日至28日. 7年349天的差距是第三大的连胜时间差距. 气温连续低于零度的最长纪录是7天，上一次是在1月. 13-19, 1994. Despite the intensity of the cold period, 圣克劳德的最高气温没有低于零下10度，最低气温也没有低于零下30度. Both were accomplished in January 2004.
截至3月2日上午，只有26天的最低气温为0华氏度. 在这一点上，这是倒数第11位 sub-zero lows in a cold season. Again, 这也将是我们连续第5年暖冬进入前14名.
在降雪量方面，圣克劳德机场连续第二个月降雪量高于正常水平. The total of 8.9 inches was more than two inches above normal. At this point in the cold season, 圣克劳德机场降雪量超过26英寸, which remains 9.4 inches below normal. However, 圣克劳德其他地区的降雪量要高得多 totals. 在圣克劳德州立大学，2月份是连续第二个月降雪量达到两位数. The total for February was 11.0英寸，季节性降雪量现在达到36.5 inches. 这比机场值高出10英寸多，实际上比冬季到目前为止的正常水平高出一英寸.
那次降雪中凝结的液体量也高于当月的正常水平. The February total was 0.97英寸，比正常高出三分之一英寸. 这使得圣克劳德机场的冬季总融化降水量达到3.23 inches, more than 1.比正常水平高出1英寸，与1915-1916年的冬天持平，成为圣克劳德有记录以来第15个最潮湿的冬天.
