Pattern Freezing Ferocious February

Unless he lived somewhere else when 1993 happened, he might have not remembered it.

Edit: Which I can understand. I'm younger than him and my memories from the age of 4 are composed of...one picture. I hate it at times, especially when my dad says his memories from when he was very young are clear (up to the age of 4).
 
Miserable 38 degrees and pouring down rain. Actually snow about 75 miles to the north. Models continue to show around 10 inches of rain for me in the next 10 days.

Surprised to see a good chunk of the SE start to flip above normal for met winter. Will be curious to see how much of the east flips to positive anomalies over next 12 days.

While there was definitely parts of winter that was cold, there was a lot of back and forth that kept it from really being downright cold earlier. This 2017 like February is going to flip most of the east to a warm winter.

Miserable? I’m enjoying every second of this cool weather before the warmth returns. It’s a cool 42 degrees right now at 1:30 in the afternoon.

The lows forecast for this upcoming long warm spell in CHA are just incredible for Feb. Can't see how we don't finish in the top ten warmest Febs since records kept. ;)

Yeah, a large portion of the SE will flip to warmer than normal over these final 11 days of met. winter. Form example, KATL:

Dec was +1.5, Jan was -2.9, and Feb is projected to be +9.6. So, DJF would end up +2.7.
 
The persistence of this warmth is just incredible. It may not get below 50 at night in Atlanta the next 2 weeks. Even here, after this morning there are no more freezes in the forecast the next 2 weeks according to weather.com

Well a thought/question... If we remember the Late Dec thru Jan mostly stayed cold... so with the overall patterns, is this the "normal" for weak years? I cannot remember one that once it got cold..it stayed cold, and looking like the same with warmth

Good to see you got some snow Brent. It’s not as fun as in your own backyard but it’s still always nice to see snow. In February of 2009 my wife and I took a weekend trip to Cleveland Ohio to see snow since it was a dud season here. It was really cool seeing the Great Lakes and the giant ice blocks. The lake wasn’t frozen over due to a warmer winter so after the initial snow moved through we got to experience lake effect snow the next day. It was crazy how some areas had only a few inches of snow while a few miles away had 8-10 inches of it.
 
Things are still very much on track for KATL to have its warmest Feb on record beating the current warmest of 2017, which is 56.1. Now the question is whether or not they can beat the warmest Dec on record, which is 2016's 57.6 and would mean the warmest month of met winter on record. I don't at all think that's out of the realm of reasonable possibilities. We're also looking at the very real possibility of the warming from 1/18 to 2/18 being the strongest on record for any Jan to Feb. We may hate the warmth, but at least we get to track history. Exciting times from a strictly wx history standpoint keeping it from being too boring!
