I’d prefer cold again with or without precipitation. Working outside I deal with warmth and heat for 9 months out of the year. This “winter” hasn’t helped either.

I haven’t completely given up on winter. We still have about four weeks where winter weather is possible. March isn’t February but we’ve had some memorable storms in the middle of March.

March 2010. IIRC three snow events happened including a heavy morning snowfall on the first day of spring. Good memories.

Near 80 today and mid 80's this week but a reminder just a few years ago we were all locked into one of the biggest and costly state winter storms we will likely ever see.

I definitely have a lot of mixed feelings about this winter here I mean if you would have told me it'd probably be the warmest winter on record and yet we'd have our average snowfall to the tenth of an inch from one storm alone(not even kidding) before February started after how warm it was at Christmas I would have not believed you but here we are... I dunno we've definitely had way worse winters for sure here despite the temperature averages. But its definitely been weird how literally everything was in that one week and the rest hasn't been remotely interesting once really

On the other hand it's hard to believe there won't be something else before it's over

On another subject how was 2021 5 years ago :double:

Yes indeedy. We got thumped on March 20th. Forecast of “flurries” was actually 6-7” in Collin County.

It's crazy but it hasn't even snowed up here in March since 2022

I feel like we're overdue :lol: :spam:

The GFS is trying on Saturday kind of. Unfortunately the Euro has a high of 62 :lol: so yeah not holding my breath

Colorado is about to get hammered with cold & snow this week. That system must be moving due east or northeast because that cold & snow doesn't seem to be showing up in forecasts for northern Texas and OK?

Next 2-2.5 weeks look to be pretty dry, too much ridging in the south-southwest will keep the storm track well north of texas

Since ntxw and orangeblood hasn't been posting, its not a good sign lol. Still hopeful for one last chance in March, but it makes it more difficult then.

Euro weeklies keep suggesting the 2nd half of march into early april will be cooler than normal, but by then its too little too late to be talking winter weather at least down here, hopefully el nino will make for a fun winter next year, because this was an exceptionally boring winter in my opinion

It’s typically too warm for our part of Texas for snow during an El
Niño.

A cold front will be moving in Thursday bringing in NW Flow. Looks like a return to seasonal temps for a few days with a couple of freezes possible through the weekend into early next week in northern parts of the state. :wink:

Cpv17 eh id still prefer el nino, you get a consistently active STJ throughout most of the winter and all it takes is marginal cold to get some fun down here, la nina’s are only really good for maybe one decent event every now and then

Next 2-3 weeks continue to look pretty dry across the state as the PNA goes positive then back to negative again, looks like an absolute snooze fest ahead

Yep, the big excitement for SE TX appears to be getting back to normal winter temperatures next week.
