Some of the long range guidancr ( euro weeklies and even the CFS suggest we stay below normal/ cold through even most of march

All the birds and garden reptiles over here are convinced that winter is done.

Well thats simply not the case lol, winter is far from being done

Well, whatever winter has left better get going within the window of the next ~2-3 weeks. Even in the context of cold snaps, things become increasingly gentler/milder going into late Feb, then into March.

The fact that reptiles are showing up just ~2 weeks after a cold snap is a testament to the (overall) mild/warmth of the SETX winter climate. Even when factoring in the cold snaps, the (relatively) brief durations keep ground temps from getting too cold — this is likely what allows the reptile populations to persist (especially if they can burrow/take shelter in the ground), and it also seems instrumental in allowing a good percentage of tropical plant regrowth/recovery. The same cold snaps, but more prolonged with chillier temps would allow less recovery (although a chilly period prior to a cold snap would allow better survival for stuff like citrus due to slowdown/dormancy).

Forget spring, Wharton has now entered full-on summer mode. Look at it go with that heat index!

Hopefully @Cpv17 is doing okay...

Looks like the afternoon peak was 122°F at 12:35pm! But in terms of the entire day, the late morning had an even higher peak: 127°F at 11:35AM!!!

Again, I hope @Cpv17 is okay after all that...

apparently those numbers are real, man thats just down right evil in february , that should be illegal to see temperatures anywhere close to that lol

Things are looking wet late tonight.

Man, that radar is looking fantastic for me tonight! Just started pouring here.

To say the least! Looking forward to some thunder.

Tornado warning for southern Bastrop and Fayette counties.

It's bowing pretty crazy on radar near Yoakum, Shiner, and Cuero.

Yeah I’m about to get slammed by that bow echo. Bring it!

1.60” Ground is very saturated.

2.9” here. Ditches and fields are flooded again.

Looks like Thursday the rain comes back for a few days. Nice weather till then so enjoy it.

Just gonna be a prolonged spring moving forward I think. Maybe a cool front or two but am not expecting any more freezes.

Cromagnum nope, its looking quite the opposite actually starting mid month and beyond, all of the teleconnections go negative
