More like 9 in a row.3 backloads in a row! Awesome

Honestly, I don't see anything that bodes well for the immediate future. Hope is climo takes over for February. Hope I am wrong though and it's sooner.
Also notice the last few days Alaska is also trending colder (+EPO), another bad sign if you’re hoping for even a normal December around here & definitely raises the chances of (another) torch. Here’s to 9 above normal Decembers in a row. ?Here’s a food CFSv2 example of a flip cold the last 3 days of runs that actually verified. This model can be run the last 3 days of the prior month and verify just as well.
So yeah, not a good sign it got rid of the cold trends to end the month. We’ll be lucky if this trends near normal, but history tells you to expect a warm dec...

The latter point is pretty easy to understand if you acknowledge man made climate change is real and is significantly moving the base state in a milder direction. You don’t get 9 warm Decembers in a row by random chanceThere appear to simply be no patterns of any type anymore that lead to a cold first half of winter. Nina, Nino, Neutral, high solar, low solar, +QBO, -QBO, it doesn't matter. It's going to be warm every December. And there's a different reason every December. At some point, it becomes statistically unreasonable to think we understand what the real mechanism is driving this outcome.
But it snowed for a lot of people in the SE, the last 2 December’s, and if it hadn’t been for those unicorns, they would have been totally dumpster fire wintersThere appear to simply be no patterns of any type anymore that lead to a cold first half of winter.

December 2017 was above average and last December was well above average.I dont recall the last 2 Decembers being mild. Or maybe the fact they were so snowy tricked me into thinking it was cold.
You can lump it under climate change, manmade or not. That's probably the general reason, but it doesn't offer a specific reason why it's no longer possible to have a cooler than normal first half of winter.The latter point is pretty easy to understand if you acknowledge man made climate change is real and is significantly moving the base state in a milder direction.

That really is the only glimmer of hope, if all of our winter months are going to be AN, atleast we know it still CAN snow!December 2017 was above average and last December was well above average.
It doesn’t? There’s literally no other way to explain the observations of warming than it being man made, natural forcing dictates a cooling or stable climate and warming has continued unabated. As for it not providing a specific reason, when the climate warms, the entire distribution of temperatures for a given region shifts along with it, which also means the probability of below normal temperatures decreases substantially while above average temperatures increase in both frequency and intensity.

Calm down, it’s going to be OK, nobody cancelled January or December for that matter. Deep breaths

Eventually, we’ll reach a point where this won’t occur but most of us will probably not be alive when this finally happens. Even though it can still snow and will be able to for decades to come over the upper south, the air masses that are associated with winter storms of today are at a major disadvantage from those of the “good ol days” because they’re starting out at a warmer initial state over the Arctic.That really is the only glimmer of hope, if all of our winter months are going to be AN, atleast we know it still CAN snow!

Just for argument’s sake, that doesn’t explain why November is a solid BN month for us almost every year now? If we can be below normal then, why can’t we be below normal 30 days later? I’m skepticalIt doesn’t?

Lol I got ya. What did you mean by you hope climo takes over in February? I must have misunderstood
