Stratosphere outlook is active. 

Even the GEFS is showing a warming and split in the mean. I would show the EPS, but it isn't available on weatherbell.

If this plays out, I would expect impacts around the first or second week of March. 

One thing to consider, is that the last time we had a major SSWE in February (2018 I think), we did not have the base state we have this winter. It was a low - moderate Nina, but we hadn't really had a lot of blocking that winter. I think this one is happening, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out in early March.

Yeah. Man, if February is realized as Model's show then the split would favor a cold first half of March at the least, an overall long cold period would be the result.

And this is why we don't cancel winter in early and mid December...or late January.  Mother Nature doesn't care if we cancel it.  LOL.  We had a crippling ice storm last weekend and a decent snowstorm this weekend.  Two BIG events which have been accompanied by very cold temps.  January will now finish BN for temps for most or right at seasonal.  Snowfall and/or ice should finish AN for many.  What a month of weather we have had.  Started off crazy warm, and ended in the freezer.  As for February?  I continue to think we have a window right around mid-month if not before.  Eventually, we are going to warm-up, and that seems like the second week of March if things don't flip before then...and we do need to keep an eye out for that.

I think that in the Middle TN area, we see another couple sizeable snowfalls this season

Hopefully we get the temps to be cold enough to be frozen.  The weather channel has the mid state in the 40-50s for the next 2 weeks. A day in the 30’s after a frontal passage.  Chilly rains.  
 

The first ten days of Feb were supposed to be warm-ish as in back to normal...and IDK if that is actually gonna work out.  Take a look at the 12z GFS....one chance after another.  I do think mid-month is a good window.  But Wednesday has to be watched as does next weekend.  Saturday-Monday is a window as well w/ a chance at a strong cold front.   I am not even sure we are done w/ below zero stuff after early this week.   I will say this...at some point this bitterly cold pattern is gonna break, even if spring forces it.  And yes, I do think we have a warm ridge rolling through at some point, but I have to be honest...I am good w/ a few warm days.  I need to thaw out.  Morning runs w/ wind chills below 5F are not fun.
