The solid amounts of continuous snow cover in the Northwoods/North Country is a primary reason why it is depressing to deal with slop garbage winters in the upper South/lower Midwest. We just get the rain, sleet, freezing rain, flooding, mud, and you can't do much of ANYTHING outdoors in the winter as the ground is unbelievably wet- horrible. Give me all snow all the time any day of the week.
Yup... cant wait to be done with this thread. Worst winter In a long time. 2007-08 was bad but at least we didnt get teased with a bunch of < 1" events.
This afternoons temps. I'll take my melting 50s and run cause with winter I am done!
Glad the warmth has been confined to my southeast. Got up to 80F in New Orleans today, but didn't make it past 51F here. It hasn't been reached 60F in Alexandria since Sunday morning. Pretty damp too with periods of rain/t-storms but nothing too heavy. Supposed to warm tomorrow up to 75F with some severe potential Friday/Saturday before another front comes. I'm thinking we will make it through February without reaching 80F.
We had a nice cold-air damming event here in northeast Georgia for a couple of days. Temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday ranged from the upper 30s to lower 50s, with plenty of clouds and rain. It was the perfect kind of weather for being lazy. It got warm yesterday, though, with a high in the mid-60s, but the easterly winds will be back very soon. In fact, the temperature is in the upper 50s here right now, and that could be the high temperature for today. Otherwise, temperatures will be in the upper 40s to mid-50s through Saturday night, then rise into the mid-60s on Sunday before thunderstorms and a frontal passage arrive. Temperatures from Sunday night into the middle of next week appear to be much more normal, with highs in the lower to mid-60s, and lows in the mid- to upper 30s. It'll get drier too, after 10 consecutive days of rain. We've had almost 2" of rain in the last seven days.

As you can see, the start of March here will feel like middle of January
This February so far compared with last February. We're about the same and the eastern US is also similar, or a little warmer than last year, but look how much colder the west is from this time last year
Tom, you're anomalies are the similar to Western's Europe's this February to date. The Southern US has anomalies similar to that of Eastern Europe/Russia
This morning's Jet Stream pattern and who's reporting what.
Persistent trough over Western U.S. And an annoying South Pacific moisture feed into Eastern U.S.
I don't mind that southeast ridge but when the Jet dips that far south in the West it brings in too much warmth from the Pacific with the moisture here.
69f here. Could be the 3rd hottest Feb. Gonna be hard to beat last Feb with the hottest temps ever.
