Snow Later This Week after the Warmth

1. There's been a lot of talk about 1985 as a good analog year for this winter. I went back into the archives and found the weather map for Feb. 12 storm that hit the East in 1985. The storm produced snow through the Midwest and Tennessee Valley and all the way into the southern Appalachians. I bring this up because I still think the pattern has at least one big storm this month, and I am trying to show that even the analog years show big storms. That storm also produced severe weather and a few tornadoes across the Southeast.

2. Warmth is coming north again so enjoy it if you like warm weather.

3. Late in the week, low pressure should form along the cold front and throw enough precipitation back into the cold air to produce a swath of snow shown on the map below. This could be very similar to the snow that hit in January along I-80, but this time it would be confined from Ohio to southern New England.
