Yep. Looking like a return to winter in the east around or just after Valentine’s Day for a at least a couple of weeks. Still think this winter holds at least one more SE winter storm.

Preaching to the choir. I don’t get off on cold stats so for me it’s frustrating. It took a low ramming into an arctic dome to bring the biggie but we can’t get a coastal for whatever reason.

Managed a low of -1 at 7:47am up to 19 now.

Some/most may be ready for spring after V. Day…but ma nature says when she’s done. And 2/14 is much too early for her in SNE. Let’s not rush the 39-45 degree misery mist and drizzle that is with us from late March through all of April at the very least most every year(save 2012.. which is as rare as Feb 2015).

Gonna update here too for posterity. February 2nd, 2026 Lows: Confirmed personal weather station minimum was -9.7F. Effective low of -12F in Honaker per WU, -13F on the Clinch river crossing and downtown Lebanon as well as -14 at Rosedale on Route 80 per vehicle thermometer. Weather Underground weather stations indicates isolated lows in Shady Valley and Tazewell, VA reaching -17 and -18 respectively as well as readings of -15 in proximity to Johnson City on the lower valley floor. Temperature inversion was severe with the car thermometer moving through fahrenheit degrees on the basis of 25 feet of elevation gain in some cases. Weather stations also reveal areas that never saw negative temps in some high and exposed areas.

If it wasn’t for last week’s storm, most of us would be looking at a pretty piss poor winter. Nothing I can do about it, but it’s really irritating to be wasting peak Climo with cold dry days.

look at the dividing line between white and grey...that area got largely missed by both storms, though the second delivered 8 inches. the first was 1-4. reports in edison of 13 but woodbridge reported only 8. still a pretty good winter here, as we got something out of all of them, and the 2/6 storm was close enough we drove down to the camden aquarium that sunday just to marvel at the snow drifts.the kids are all grown now. it think we got 10-12 out of the december storm too, but that winter the mid atlantic had 3 epic storms....i've never seen that, though in 2011 we'd come close to it, with two monsters and one 10-12. another la nina, and it didn't snow after han; we had an ice storm in early feb and that was it.

We had a good Pacific for weeks.

Let's just get rid of the Pacific. It always seems to be the problem. In all seriousness, I think it'll be a relief if we stop hearing about the Pacific getting in the way. What do we need to see and how long has this been an issue with the Pacific ( it seems like I've heard about this over the last several years getting in the way, especially when it comes to storm track for the Northeast Coast )

We hit 11 this morning. I do believe this is the coldest since I moved into this house in 2004. No frozen pipes. Woohoo. Not looking forward to the electric bill.

You and Scooter?

Streak might be broken here today. High of 35.

Nice! That's pretty freaking neat.

21 / 1. Lets see how many of the next 4 days can get to / above freezing. Light snow / showers / flurries tomorrow night into Wed morning. Sam on Fri into sat with arctic front (liht snow - showers/flurries) and perhaps just as or coldest airmass of the season 2/7 - 2/9. Moderation towards normal in the 2/10 - 2/13 period but overall continued colder. Storm in the 2/11 - 2/13 period ridin west on the latest loner range forecats.

There are some really nice lenticulars over Mitchell County this morning. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

I’m fine with it being over if we don’t get anything else. We got a major winter storm and cold for a large part of winter. I’ll stick around watching until about Feb 15-20 then it’s time to get the cherry blossoms and daffodils loose in the bullpen.

it was bad but it could have been way worse, like some people thought you guys wouldn't get any snow with that dry slot

2.8 for the low this morning here in salisbury nc

Wow!!! That is truly impressive.

Things evened up February 25-26 2010 when NYC received 21 inches and much of the HV west of the Hudson received 25-40 inches. I received 35 in Highland Mills the biggest storm total I've recorded here.

Looks like KTRI dipped to -6F according to the 3 day weather history. The low which was broken was from 1971(0F), and was TRI's coldest temp in 11 years per David Boyd, a met at WCYB. When we start breaking record lows from the 70s, that is saying something.

Wow, I bottomed out at -9.7F with areas in town a few degrees lower per wunderground. I took a quick drive to run an errand and took a few pics at the Clinch river and it was -14 on the car thermometer in Rosedale. For SWVA it looks like the winner was Tazewell which bottomed out at -18F!! in some valleys. (still in the Tennessee Valley )

Low of 1.4° here at WXW1. -15.1 at WXW2. Seven straight days below zero there.

I know you didn’t ask me, but personally I think NN overall for the Northeast as I believe the first week will be the coldest week relative to average before a warming trend commences afterward. I’m not saying record warmth necessarily, but perhaps a more subdued warmer than average pattern depending on how much blocking we see and other teleconnections, etc. My guess is the warmest anomalies end up being near the Plains this month.

Even though we got a few inches at the end I am still mad about it. It is a once in 20+ year opportunity blown. I really can't get excited about any other events unless they are big enough to make up for it.
