Pattern Fab-February 2020 The dark age

We bottomed our around 24 here. Looks like a pretty good freeze all the way down into the Florida Panhandle last night

I’m in Orlando for the weekend and can verify it got down to 39 at my location this morning. It was downright cold here all day yesterday...temperatures hovered around 50 all day with overcast sky and the wind made it feel like it was around freezing
 
Looks like February is in the books as far as snow chances for a lot of us.. any y’all been over to the Majestic March thread? I’m encouraged!
 
Only managed 21 here lack of solid snow cover kept us from going into the tank. Cool frost this morning though
22 at RDU. Pretty lame minimum temperature for the winter. One of the warmest on record, I presume. Or maybe the warmest. Maybe Majestic March will save us.

Yeah usually we are good for a few teens per winter. The fast flow this year hasn't helped either, it seems like everytime we get cold we are already back in a waa pattern ahead of the next system.
 
We’ve got some sleet pellets mixing in with the rain at 53 degrees.
I find that very hard to believe, maybe temps on your locals forecast are off. I did see where north GA is having mixing going on today

It was sleet but didn’t last long. I wasn’t believing my ears but managed to capture some pellets. I saw it once years ago back in the 90s with similar temps.
 
It was sleet!

Passage of a cold core & rather sharp/well defined mid-upper trough during peak heating of the day typically in the latter portion of the winter where insolation is higher and also in cases where the temps are still cool enough to produce snow (instead of having to produce a deep 32F isothermal layer) is synoptically ideal for one of these setups.
 
Cmc and euro seems like they want to emerge Friday/Saturday system together than the gfs. Timing issues?
 
0.77 for this storm. 7.43 for the month and 13.16 for the year (mind you 4.21 of that came on one day)
