There is some signs of life. Initially the pattern is rather thread the needle type with each successive trough dropping into the pacific and rexing. Would love to have some NATL blocking with it though

At this point it could be snowing outside my window in March and I still wouldn’t believe it.

May or may not happen but it’s not that uncommon to snow in march..round here anyway
Oh yeah same for CLT. In the 1960s it snowed 3 straight weekends in Charlotte. The way this winter has been I wouldn’t be shocked at all
Color me excited. The tendency in the pattern in general since November has been to amplify. Cold has been amped. Warmth has been amped. And March patterns tend to amplify as is. Should be one heck of a roller coaster ride, even by March standards.
Using Atlanta as a benchmark, temps in the extremes have consistently exceeded the normal min-max range all season long by an average of 7 degrees (the spread for February 2026 includes a forecasted max of 76 for this week). Continuing that pattern into March would translate to a min-max spread of 59 degrees for Atlanta. So, what do Marches look like when Atlanta has a min-max spread of 59 give or take 2 degrees? They look pretty interesting lol. List of years below, some really good ones in there.
