maybe there's a pattern?

So, anyone who knows me knows I've become a bit fixated on the weather, right?
You know, 'cause my warm heart doesn't do temperatures below 50?
Right.
This month, in particular, I've been very active with checking the weather song.
Like, daily in many cases, with screen shots of the WSAV predictions every few days.
And something started tugging at the scientist in my brain.
Curious, I pulled up all the screenshots I've taken.
 

Here's the one for the first seven days, i.e., the first week, of January.
Monday was in the low 60's and Saturday hit 70, both with rain in the forecast.
The other five days had highs in the upper 50's (though I forgot to align the "songs").
 

The second week of January again had Monday in the low 60's, as well as Thursday.
Tuesday and Friday, both rainy, still hit 70 for a high.
Wednesday wasn't bad, but the weekend was pretty horrid, with lows in the 30's.
 

Monday of the third week was in the 60's - see a pattern?
Tuesday was close, but Thursday and Friday nailed it.
Wednesday was horrid, as was the entire weekend, not even making it up to 50 any of those days from the basement temperatures in the 20's and 30's.
 

How about the fourth week of this month?
Monday very nearly hit 60!
In fact, every day was at least 60, with 70's for Wednesday through Saturday!!!
Sunday looks to be a little cooler, but it still hit the low 60's.
 

Now for the last few days of January, leading up to February.
As for each week this month, Monday will hit at least 60.
How about that?
That will be wonderful, as I have an outing planned for that afternoon.
But here's more good news: every day will be a cookie cutter of the day before.
All in the 60's for the day, all in the 40's for the early morning/late night hours.
Hallelujah!
Even Groundhog Day is to be partly cloudy with a high in the mid-60's.
Only six more weeks to the spring equinox!!!
(smile!)
Right?
Well, yes, that's true as far as the calendar is concerned.
But what can be said about the weather itself?
For that, I checked on Pat Prokop's forecast.
This coming week is to be slightly above normal, with the next two weeks registering as being "normal" for this area.
Good!
The fourth week looks like a bit of winter still, but I'm going to hope that bite of cold is in early morning hours, as I have the Savannah Jewish Cultural Arts Festival those days.
The first week of March, which is Week 6 on his chart, is forecast as a bit low, too.
What's that adage about that month?
Oh, yeah, here it is:
"March comes in like a lion
and goes out like a lamb."
Here's hoping!
(smile!)
