So far, we are experiencing the overall 11th warmest winter on record since 1870 in the area.  The warmest winter on record occurred in 1875-76.

Regardless of the warmer weather, snowfall is still running normal to above-normal for all areas, except our western 1/4.

The weather for next week is becoming clearer.  The Monday system will not get here until Tuesday & that will likely be THE main system of the week, rather than 2 or 3 systems.

It appears a very potent storm system will wrap up in the Midwest with the potential of a tornado event in the southeast U.S. to as far north as the Tennessee, perhaps Ohio Valley.

Our temperature will likely RISE Tuesday night to as high as the lower 60s & then fall all day Wednesday.  Given the rise in temperature & dew points, severe weather MAY get in parts of the viewing area.  Some snow may wrap around the backside with 30s, but any accumulation would be minor.

Some data indicates a strong wind event as this system exits with gusts up to 50 mph (perhaps 55-60 mph in Ohio) Wednesday.  This will need to be watched.

A pretty potent cold snap is likely after this, but a big warm-up is still a good bet afterward.  I stil think our first 70 is certainly possible around March 11-12.
