Pattern Fail or Fab February 2023 Pattern Thread

[BullCityWx]

Yeah that ‘99-00 winter basically just had a perfect two weeks where the pattern was right and every threat produced. It’s seems that most years that see a huge storm in the Carolinas , that’s typically the only one of the season here. The biggest exception I can think of would have been ‘03-04 when there had been a significant storm in late January and then of course the big snowstorm the last few days of February

13-14 would qualify too, if I remember correctly.

Absolutely… that was the last time I had a double digit winter… 1.7” on 1/28, 3.2” on 2/11 and then 8.3” on 2/12-13

ugh! This Feb pattern thread has jumped the shark...already

How exactly do you get freezing fog with a 91mph wind?

Good question.

Temps going to continue to drop like a rock tonight. Wonderful winter night and possibly coldest since Christmas

It happens in the high country but not with that wind. Seen it in the smokies when you’re in the clouds and they’re moving fast but still freezing to the trees.

Maybe well south of I-20. North of there even in the mildest winters you’ll see freezes at least until mid to late March

Atlanta's earliest last freeze was on February 5 so i wouldnt rule it out for Atlanta.

We are in danger of freezes/frost until 4/15. Plants go in the ground, here, 4/15.

That's true, but there's never a guarantee of a freeze in March or April in Atlanta.

ITP maybe. Burbs almost certainly will.

 

[Chazwin]

That's true, but there's never a guarantee of a freeze in March or April in Atlanta.

Maybe in the city and the airport due to urban effects, but away from that in suburbs and where the agricultural effects are at from freezes, it’s highly likely.

highly likely yes, but i'm sure even in the outlying areas there have been a few years where there was no freeze in March or April.

Chilly out there tonight any way you cut it
