Here in Baton Rouge the record high for today is 84 set in 1996. Back in 1996 we had two days the first week of February where we had highs around 31 and lows in the mid teens though there was not wintry precip involved. Not sure of the high today but we will be close to the record just a few weeks after the ice storm. There is a neighborhood near me where it looks like a hurricane has come through. . The ice storm knocked down large limbs and several trees.

I still don't see any freezing temps though. GFS is sticking to a zonal flow for the next 2 weeks with no big dips in the jet stream. Before you know it, we'll be in April.
Well for me I am hoping for no more cold. Felt good to be in shorts and flip flops again and enjoy the spring temps. Since we rescheduled our San Antonio trip to the day after Easter, hoping this weather continues as it would be more enjoyable instead of being cold. Looking forward to getting my pool ready hopefully in another month or 2

From Larry Cosgrove....
I am happy to delay the heat of summer as long as possible....but since my fruit trees are pushing flower buds as I type, I'd be happy with no more freezes.....maybe some falling snow at 35F?
1) The still-extant cold pool across Canada and the active southern branch jet stream may create frozen precipitation threats from the lower High Plains into the Northeast. Carefully monitoring next weekend!
2) Strong surge of warmer air into the central third of the continent will last through the next ten days. But beyond that...questions arise.
3) Outline for March forecast and how the super-active Pacific Basin storm sequence and subtropical jet stream could combine to eradicate the modeled forecasts of widespread warmth across the lower 48 states. Just look at how different the analog series is from the three ensemble packages.
4) Icelandic block means that much of Europe may go back into the proverbial freezer by late in the new week. Severe thunderstorm threats are rising in Iraq and Iran. South Asia looks mostly warm and dry."
We certainly look to be getting back to more seasonable weather. Average last frost dates for me across the lake are the first week in April...more than a month away. I'd consider that cold.
I liked him when he was younger in his prime...which was a long time ago.....but saying he's full of hot air about not being done with the cold in my opinion isn't based on anything whatsoever.
