re: Is it safe to say that our Winter is over?

Dallas has been on the edge of the trough keeping the west so cold.

Dallas starts to forget to take her bi-polar pills in Oct, and finally finds them the first of May. Like clock work.

I remember once as a kid I ran into albertsons for milk. Mom sat in the fire lane. Had shorts on, and ac pumping in the car. Came out, and it had dropped like 30 degrees. I turned the ac off, and my mom was so confused.

Dallas weather is like no where else I have lived. Especially our thunderstorms. Missed them when not living here.

Winter seems to be over, but I'm pretty sure its rained 90% of the days since November. Louisiana feels like one giant swamp right now.

We didn't have a single hard freeze in south LA. I cannot remember a winter with this much rain.

Trees are blooming and my truck was covered in pollen a few mornings ago. Winter is over.

This shite happened in February last year.

I wouldn't call Winter over just yet.

I'm pretty much ready to, at least for the SE.

The midwest and northeast look to have one last cold snap to start March, and Louisiana ought to get some cooler weather other that period but after that it looks pretty spring like. There's just not going to be enough of a cold pool to develop way up north with the sun angle getting higher, even if the overall set up shifts toward what would make for cold down here.

Winter got turned off for February with the big trough hanging over the west coast. That translates to warm in the east. Add in that big high pressure sitting down by Florida, and it's a recipe for warm conditions in the southeast.

It's not impossible to have another freeze down here, but I think it's more likely than not we won't dip below 32 until November.
