I think 2017 is the only exception, with the historic cold 2nd half of December/first half of January. We stayed overnight (might have been 2 nights) at AC for my sister's 25th birthday, and it was way too cold to go on the Boardwalk. That year, we didn't get the warm-up until mid-January, and we all know about that record warmth in February. Then, of course, the cold/snowy pattern came back for March and April.

Even before that 2nd coldest late December 2017 into early January 2018 period, most areas from Philly to NYC Metro still made it above 55° from the 17th to 25th like every year since 2011. Many of those years the long range models missed that warm up. But once we got past the first week of December, the models played catch up the closer in time we get to the period.

Yeah I think 2018 was the year where in southeast parts of the US all the trees opened and there was major damage from frosts in March and April

Besides the “blob” situation, a pronounced -PMM has developed as well
