Name a winter where it didn’t hit 60s or 70s. I’ll wait

2002-2003 was one of the best winters of my life and we had a week of upper 50s and low 60s before the 1/23 snowstorm.

And it had a few more. We had to go to Saturday School that year bc we missed so many days
Here it is, I’d imagine having the colder lobe of the tropospheric PV on our side would probably trend colder
That’s pretty clutch we’re forecast to get the good piece for once. It at least gives us a fighting chance as climo deteriorates later this month. Let’s see what she do
Uh Oh we're in trouble

It’s different when it’s already rooted to the lower levels initially, H5 is blocked up. Same thing happened this past jan was a instant reaction because the lower levels rooted quickly

I don't even think that these totals are exactly correct as I've encountered a confirmed report when researching this storm that Fitzgerald, GA received six inches of snow. However, this is a prime example of how it's extremely possible for a post February midpoint snow storm to produce potent snowfall amounts at very Southern latitudes in the region. One can also throw out the dates February 1901, February 1968, February 1979, March 1980, the March storm in 1983 that was referenced earlier, March 1993, the ULL on the first day of March 2009 as other examples in which winter made it's mark late in the season. One has to like the fact that the potential at least appears to be on the table in the second half of the month for something to occur.

If that's the case, we'll just have to hope we can kick a goal with 1 second left on the clock since we're going to be cutting it very close on climo as it is. Of course if we happen to be sent into a relative freezer we would still be plenty cold for snow and it may even help us get a decent track.
Really worth noting that the EPS has been speeding up the changes, looking at it deeper, starts getting the western ridge going just after D10 now

It’s like half the board just moved to the SE

Umm..., that has NOTHING to do with seasonal averages and patterns. Sure we'll have some of these days every winter but early Feb is still in the heart of winter. My point is I would much rather it wait to feel like spring when it actually IS spring. We'll have months of that type of weather (and way warmer) b/w mid March and mid Nov, we only get a little time with chances for cold and snow.
Gotta move north then bro because it’s just not like that in the SE

Our history and averages say it is. If you want today to be the norm in early Feb then you gotta move to FL.
But what I’m saying and all I’m saying is, it’s normal to get a few warm days like today in Feb, averages and history days it’s normal to get days like today, in February
