Currently 70F at 7PM in Austin. Low of 64 tonight. Planted two sago palms today as I don't think it will get below freezing for the rest of the winter. Tested sprinklers today and removed winterizer covers from hose bibs. I'm gambling that spring is here. If I'm wrong I'll be paying the price.
Gulf of Mexico is fully in control here right now. It was mostly cloudy and breezy with a SE wind straight from the Gulf, you could smell the salt air. The sun shone but indirectly through high cirrus clouds. First morning we didn't get a lot of fog as it was too warm, the previous mornings were right at the dewpoint so it squeezed out moisture.
Humidity in the house up to 50% even though it's 80% outside. I don't have a whole house humidifier like I did when in Kansas so the humidity "free wanders" in the winter according to outside humidity. But it's a little delayed. My house isn't fully sealed so outside air eventually penetrates but it's probably a day or two late.
Good nite for the telescope as seeing is about dead still for very high power work. Sea fog just about to come onshore. Sea fog and Feb make for the best seeing of the year for high powers over 400x to 1200x.
So apparently we haven't had so much snow in one day since February 8, 2014 (2.9"). The news have been talking about nothing but the snowpocalypse all day. Tomorrow will be frozen and sunny.

+AO and La Nina forcing = not a good combo if you want cold in the east, per GFS.
12z CFS suggests that we switch to a Nino like look in weeks 3 and 4. Winter might not be over yet for the east.
Radiational cooling spot in eastern Long Island is 28°F at 9 pm, NYC 49°F… really big contrast; only NY/VT/NH by the Canadian border is as cold as Long Island right now
CFSv2 shows this monster blob of cold for February. We'll be on the edge of it. Maybe an amplified jet to bring in some more storms. Hopefully more snow. Looks very wet.
Euro also says cold will stay up in the Northwest and into the Northern Plains for the next two weeks. We'll be near normal and the east coast will be above normal with High sitting off the Atlantic

I think that you can put a fork in winter for the east coast. For the Midwest, it's going to be a wild ride until mid March
