I wouldn't be surprised to see 80 on Tuesday.  We're going to push some serious highs.

I'm not really over winter, though, so I hope we get a return if the NAO does indeed tank.  Looks like the AO tanks possibly, too, but the PNA will remain negative.  Hopefully that doesn't negatively influence storm tracks.

I don't think we want a big +PNA when the NAO \ AO will be so negative, that would probably lead to congrats Wilmington NC. No guarantee whatever happens works out for us, but the March 5th - 10th time frame is starting to look interesting for a slow moving storm. These blocked up patterns can yield some pretty interesting outcomes, and I think with the flow slowed down longer range modeling might be a bit more reliable than we have seen thus far this winter. I'm thinking this big blocking will yield 2-3 chances to roll the dice before things start to break down.

Once the effects of the SSW end and MJO makes it into the warmer phases again by end of March / early April we might be in store for above average temperatures which is fine by me. I always say give me above average in April or May if we are going to have above average months.

I believe it was almost a year ago to the day that we set an all time record high for February right? Or maybe we just missed it? I know we had a day last February that really torched into the 70s. February 24th of last year I believe. I'm at 79 in Bridgeville right now.

Yep, I think that was the 24th of last year.  Almost exactly a year later and we have the same heat "wave."  At 80 down here today, as well, much as I anticipated.  This is some weird weather.

Looking at the numbers, we could make a run at last February's +9.5 temp departure.

Last year the excuse was residual effects from the 2015-2016 super nino... this year who knows. All I know is i'm glad we got off to a good start and reached snow climo already, or this winter would have been another huge suckfest.

I know we have a chance to make rally in March, but outside of a blizzard, it still won't make up for losing a prime snow period, again.

IMHO.

Yeah I agree, overall thus far I'd give this winter a B, we hit snow climo, had sustained cold with multiple days of snow cover, and had a couple decent storms plus bonus points for seasonal to cold around the holidays and a white Christmas. If we manage to catch a hail marry for a big storm in March I'd probably have to re-evaluate.
