I took every year that hit 80 in February and put together a composite of temps and precipitation anomalies the following spring. Only year missing from this composite is 1890 but that's because the websites data only goes back to 1895. Want to here something insane, the record high for Feb. is 84, guess when it was set, 1 month after our coldest month ever, Jan 1977. Accuweathers spring forecast looks eerily similar to the temp map. Poor 77kelvin, he is the only above average spot in the whole nation. His status may not be uncalled for at all then lol.
Here are the following summers just because im interested and kind of distraught by all those blues lol.
Not promising at all... second thought I wish we did not hit 80 this February, there are notable exceptions of course. 2011 comes to mind, haven't checked for any more.
Has no statistical significance whatsoever.
I took all February months that reached 65+ (forecast for this weekend) and came up with this
Looked at the accuweather 90 day forecast for a laugh; early March, as well as April and May look comically cold. Not even 1 day of 20c in the next 90 days according to them.
The trend has been for BN to become N or AN as we draw closer. I'm not saying colder conditions won't verify, but I'd expect any potential cold anomalies to be slight/moderate at best.
