February Review:

https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2026/02/latter-january-early-february-display.html

The unexpected early month blocking kept it colder than forecast in the east, but the midwest really torched and erased the early-month +TNH signature. Really tough to nail the pattern for the whole season, NVM the timing.

 

 

Interesting to see this chart. I am in the agriculture business and we have farms in FL (in the Lakeland area). Per my coworkers (I just joined in late 2025), we've deployed more anti-freeze measures this winter (i.e. running water at night-14 nights so far) than any year since we've owned these assets (late 90's).

Def in your area for sure. Your area struggled a bit in December ‘02 after the 12/5 event. Not as bad as the coastline, but Xmas storm there was pretty sloppy and even the 1/3-4/03 storm was much higher totals northwest. So you didn’t build the huge snow pack that northwest of 495 in MA did. Pretty hard to beat Feb 2003 there though. I think the 2/7 event and PD II gave you 3+ feet. 

Driving through the early January 2003 event just south of Worcester on 146 around midnight was some of the most difficult driving of my life. March 6, 2001 around New Haven around midnight on 95 was epic as well. December 23, 1997 around noontime 10 miles N of Dedham was also epic.
