80s highs are forecasted for KSAV the next 3 days, well forecasted for a week+. Will they tie or beat any record? It will be possible but tough with record highs the next 3 days at KSAV at the following: 84, 86, and 87. The 87 is the warmest for any day in met. winter.

Guess it depends on where you lived cause I had multiple nights in the single digits and 12 inches of snow.
Precisely this. Atlanta was barely below average for the total month of January with the new averages, and barely any snow. An average high of 54 while spending most of the month in the cooler phases of the MJO is somewhat disconcerting. KATL hasn't been below 24 since 2018 I believe, didn't have a single freeze in December, and who knows if they will get another one this season, my guess is they won't. I would rate this winter season for KATL a solid C-, and the only reason it isn't an F is because the snapshot of just January wasn't horrible.

The white looks fun!
18z EPS looked like it was gonna be even less cold then the 12z run, almost barely a cold shot lol
Ugh saw this too but I’ll look away for now .. everyone who was crying for a -NAO might get there wish just in time for spring! 
This doesn’t really look conductive for a -NAO at all given the all out + Northern annular mode blitz
Let’s gooo

Pouring sleet grass is already turning white and it literally just started

Just had a few rumbles of thunder. Officially Thudersleet here!

Areas of moderate to heavy sleet with embedded thunder
will continue over much of eastern Oklahoma and northwest
Arkansas into the afternoon hours. Total sleet accumulations of
one inch are likely with a locally heavier band of two inches
along and north of I-40, extending to I-44.
That doesn't even include the round overnight into tomorrow

Good bit of sleet so far. Probably about a half inch or a little more so far. I will say that walking on sleet feels a lot more treacherous then walking on snow. Lol

Definitely up there with the events that weren't the snowstorm this winter already

Wow, Some of the convective stuff is moving over now an im pretty sure we are getting some small hail mixing in now. Winds went up as well. Hurt a bit to stand in. Lol

Tulsa at 13 degrees and sleet. I would be so dissapointed if that happened here.

Normally I would be but we had 6 inches of snow 3 weeks ago ? things have changed. I mean I will say I'm not quite as hyped as I was about the snowstorm but there was no way this was gonna be quite the same. Now yeah if that hadnt happened oh I'd be mad for sure
OKC reporting a thunderstorm at 11 degrees!

That is incredible! I have only heard thunder snow 2 maybe 3 times since 2006.

The euro absolutely pimp slapped the gfs on the upcoming system for Saturday here in Nashville. Gfs was showing 2-3 inch runs while euro was showing barely any moisture at all. The 18z gfs completely caved after trying to fight it the last few runs. ?

Starting to get some light snow here now. Looks like a few small bands are developing. Had a burst of some decently sized flakes a few minutes ago.

Just took a little walk outside now that the sleet has let up.... Definitely feels different than snow and my footprints aren't as noticeable

It is actually hot out, really amazing temp contrast from west to east, same old thing from last winter. 23 in Dallas and 13 in Tulsa is crazy for this time of year

Sleet beats snow by a landslide for staying power. It isn’t just about the inches! It is about the water content/density. The fluff of snow can’t compete.

Is the Arctic going to for the 5th winter in a row have its coldest in March? I don’t know yet. But the Arctic has plunged in recent days and is now near its coldest this winter at near 245 K/-28 C. Note that the coldest normal (green line) in the Arctic is still two days from now (Feb 25th):

It was great having a winter where radar images like these are still possible! Hard to look at this and not enjoy the winter as a whole. Was a solid storm and a beitiful memento to have us remember it can still happen! 
Even with the overall lighter amounts, it was a all snow event that over performed , which makes it a A+ storm for me
amazing storm for CAE
Pretty fun temp Rollercoaster over the next 72 hours 70s now, mid 40s this time tomorrow, 70s this time Friday, mid 40s this time Saturday
How much seasonal snow did you get ?
Looking back, 7.1 officially
Yeah the north side of Charlotte did 10 times better than the south side
