March is looking to start warm... really wondering if this might be the last big cold snap

What a sad winter, been too many of these lately... our coldest day was in mid November

6z NAM. One last little tease of winter for northern suburbs.

To be quite honest, I think this is why our closets are bigger here in Texas... :sun: :rain: :froze: :jump:

Very boring weather pattern looks to be setting in for quite some time here in southeast TX. Sucks! :(

Was hoping for a surprise, but looks again our best winter was...in fall.

I am tempted by a job opening in the KC area to see snow and fall colors again. But, darn pay cuts vs. teaching in DFW make that iffy...probably will stay here. I like DFW overall, just not the traffic and lack of winter/endless summer.

It's only a matter of time til I do it honestly especially as cost of living continues to go up in the metro. it's not so much about the weather to me honestly although the summers do get old

Final freeze of these 2019-2020 "winter" ?

It's looking like Thursday will be it. And this pattern looks like a dry boring spring.

:uarrow: Yeah New England is great all year. I lived in Nashua New Hampshire for five years when I was a kid. Scenery year round with autumn leaves and plenty of cold and snow obviously. After visiting Colorado Springs several times over the last couple decades I have chosen that to be my place to move to if I could. With a wife and child it would be difficult but it is fun to think about. It's not as big as Denver but has plenty of natural beauty to go along with cold and snow. A good size city with a small town feel to it. Cold winters and warm summers with spring and fall mixed in. Ideal.

New England all day buddy.


Good luck:

"BOSTON (CBS) — This winter has been ridiculous. All three winter months will finish with well above average temperatures. January was the third warmest on record. February will finish in the top five warmest on record. The winter months of Dec-Jan-Feb combined will finish in the top three warmest on record."

The combination of January and February 2020 will go in the books as the second-least snowy (3.6”). . . we haven’t had less snow in Jan-Feb combined since 1937!

Also places in Georgia and North Carolina :lol:

East Texas will need to watch for next week for possible severe weather. Day 6 was highlighted by them tonight. Here's the discussion for it.

...DISCUSSION...
Medium-range guidance continues to come into better agreement
regarding the eastward ejection of an upper trough/low from the
Southwest and northern Mexico across the southern/central Plains
from Day 4/Sunday through Day 6/Tuesday. Low-level moisture will
continue to advect northward across the southern Plains and lower MS
Valley in this time frame. The past several runs of the
deterministic ECMWF have been relatively consistent in the timing
and amplitude of the eastward ejection of the upper trough/low.

The potential for substantial low-level moisture return across parts
of east TX into the ArkLaMiss by Day 6/Tuesday has increased. Low
and mid-level flow are also forecast to markedly strengthen across
these areas, particularly Tuesday evening into early Wednesday
morning. With strong forcing for ascent preceding the upper
trough/low, a surface low should deepen as it develops northeastward
from portions of east TX into the vicinity of the Mid-South. A
trailing cold front should also shift eastward across TX into parts
of the lower MS Valley by the end of the Day 6/Tuesday period (early
Wednesday morning).

A thermodynamic and kinematic parameter space favorable for the
formation and maintenance of organized severe thunderstorms will
probably exist over these areas from Tuesday evening though early
Wednesday morning. Storms could form both along and ahead of the
eastward-moving cold front, with all severe hazards possible.
Therefore, a 15% severe delineation has been introduced for Day
6/Tuesday. There is some uncertainty with how far east the threat
will extend into MS late Tuesday night, and adjustments to this 15%
area are likely.

Uncertainty in the placement of both the upper trough/low and
related surface low increases into Day 7/Wednesday. At least some
severe threat may continue across parts of the Southeast (mainly
AL/GA vicinity), but low-level moisture should gradually decrease
with eastward extent. 15% severe probabilities may be needed in a
later outlook issuance over parts of the Southeast on Day
7/Wednesday once the synoptic-scale evolution becomes a bit clearer.

It looks to me like it’ll be more of a threat for areas right along and near the Mississippi River once again. Models are pounding the areas of eastern Arkansas, Tennessee, and the northern halves of Louisiana, Mississippi, & Bama. Maybe the northeast quadrant of Texas will get some action. I’d imagine there’s gonna be some pretty serious river flooding going on in that area over the next couple weeks. The pattern is just ripe for that area to keep getting pounded over and over again.
