I personally do not like severe season (beacuse of the death and destruction it can bring to us or our neighbors) but think this one could be a lot like this past winter, very underwhelming for those in the SE. Because of the inabilty of the cold to move out of the West for the most part this Winter, it is likely to continue (persistence wins out again) through Spring and early Summer, giving us much above normal and stable temps leading to less cyclogenesis. The one exception I see as being likely would be the Western Tn, Ky, and western deep south (the biggest focus IMO will be the lower midwest and westward). I am not saying there won't be some potentially severe storms here, but just not to an abnomally higher than average level. That would be just fine with me too
