The average temperature in Athens, GA was colder in March 2013 than December 2012. I wonder if it'll be colder in March 2017 than February 2017.
The way the models are going now, if the pattern in the first half of March persists into the second half that will be a widespread phenomenon again this year. I also wouldn't be surprised if across the East the seasonal snowfall deficits relative to average close or reverse themselves, as they have in sections of the Midwest already with the latest storm.

I was just thinking that it would be bigger than 2013, since looking back on it February 2013 was ho-hum rather than very warm; the warm parts of that winter were the first 3 weeks of December 2012 and the first week of January 2013, both well before March approached rather than directly abutting March as it is this year. Also we're looking at possibly March being colder and snowier than February for many, which didn't happen much in 2013 to my knowledge.
Of course that's speculative this far out, but if the second half of March looks anything like the first half according to the models, we could see one of the most impressive late-winter warm-to-cold pattern flips in living memory.

It's amazing to me just how hot most of the South has to get in late February to break even a daily record let alone approach a monthly one; 80-ish is summery weather territory, even for them.

It's the end of Feb so records are high, all our record lows are in the teens and even 20s instead of single digits and record low maxes are in the 30s. Unless we get record cold it's safe to say winter has been done in. Average high for this date is 58.
