Since it’s been so warm, I’ve been getting questions about the likelihood of seeing more snow before this winter season ends.  I haven’t had time to do the statistics yet, but I ran across this older article from the NWS in Birmingham discussing the chances of getting snow in Alabama after a warm February that might be useful. In short, there is no relationship.  So just because we are having a warm winter, that does not mean the chance of snow (at least for Alabama) is zero.  (Keep in mind that the article was written in an El Niño year so things could be a little different this year following a weak La Niña.)
