Did the arctic blast do much damage to grass or plants?
and today the last day of meteorological winter about the same near 50 degrees so this February will likely end up around 7F below average while January was +5.4F and December was +5.1F above average.
February was cold in my area, I think the daily mean will be about -3c below average.
The end of the month brought milder weather, however, unlike the countries of western parts of the continent , no new local February records were recorded.
The last day of the winter, this afternoon in the city by the river.

Yeah there's a lot of brown landscaping. Plants that survived the past couple of winters look dead now. There are a number of brown palms including Sago's, but cold hardy palms seem unfazed. Grasses are brown but patches of clover & weeds seem to be coming back with warmer temps over the past week. Deciduous trees seem pretty bare. Japanese Magnolias had bloomed before the arctic blast, but they are now full of brown flowers.

I'm sure that Shreveport and DFW are even worse off
