I am aware that I have not updated in a couple weeks now, and that is for a couple reasons. One being that I had called for the first week of February to be the worst of winter. That did not work out as the first storm turned out to be rain, and the second one was a complete miss. The models were an absolute mess for that week, so were the public and national weather services, and so was I!!!! Anyways that is all done now, but the effects of that storm missing are still in place. Temperatures in the major I-95 citites currently have temperates anywhere from 50 degrees to 70 degrees in mid to late February. We like to call this a thaw. Typically winter has two halfs to it, more or less. One takes place december into early January, and the other takes place early to mid February, and into early March, with a thaw in between (Keep in mind this is just relevant for the Northeast) This year our pattern has been much different however. We've had the first half of winter start in late december and go up until a couple weeks ago in late January. Now we are in a thaw. Given the usual winter, that means we are soon in for the second half of winter. Already plenty of signs of that coming. More details on what is to come soon!
