Hints NPAC blocking towards the end :flakey: . Catnip should trademark an #EarlyFebruary brand. I would buy an #EarlyFebruary t-shirt.

The next 2 weeks look like dullsville. Enjoy the conversational snow this morning cause it’s over for awhile

Overall not a bad period. 2 arctic coldsnaps. 2 region wide snowstorms. Some lowland spots in the LM had 3-4 weeks of snowcover.

Yea. It was a decent stretch of winter weather. My only disappointment locally is that we never really saw any very cold night time lows.

Best winter since 2016/17 and best single event since 2008. Hard to complain much about that. However this upcoming AR could make us forget awfully fast.

Agreed. I'm also confident we will see another cold and possibly snowy pattern around the end of the month or early February timeframe. :thumbup:
