Pattern Failboat February

I think it’s safe to say winter is back to how it should look across the SE. You should be mostly warm with some bouts of cold that could end up needling a winter threat or two during February. Better odds obviously favor more opportunities for CAD regions.

But the constant threats that could include many in the SE looks to be over from a January that was definitely an anomaly of a cold period for many across the US.

There has been some sustained cold periods since. I recall one in the mid to late 90s. and the Hothlanta event in January of 2011 stands out. it's nice, but even sustained cold isn't needed. I remember wearing shorts and sandals on March 10, 1993. Most folks remember/know what happened 48 hours later.

Our biggest snowstorm ever here(and I believe only the 2nd blizzard warning ever issued) it was 70 degrees two days before also
 
Todays CFS mindblower for Feb9-12th comes in the form of a Snow Clown Map that starts during this time period and rolls on for like 36 hrs. Its Been throwing out a few crazy temp maps the past couple of days. Who knows , maybe its sniffing some mischief potential out. First time for everything.
I only post this cause its slow and really all there is to look at.

Just my opinion, but it looks like we're cooked through at least Mid-February. Would take some extreme luck and timing to score a threat between now and then. The only positive is things can't really look any worse than they do now, so maybe the outlook will improve soon.

I know it’s wishful thinking but 2018 followed a similar progression to what I’m hoping to see this year. Cold January followed by a record warm February (+8.8 in Charlotte with multiple 80 degree days). March ended up being very interesting that year with flakes flying on several occasions. Nothing huge but five separate days with a trace or more of snowfall. That was a weak La Niña if I recall. Looking at the cold lingering up in Canada I think we get at least a couple more windows after February 10th.
