Misc 2020/21 Fall and Winter Whamby Thread

Something tells me that most AL and SE TN folks maybe joining the Carolinas within the next 24-36 hours. RGEM and the Hrrr models both have trended warmer for Alabama and now most Models now shows rain for about 85+ percent of the state .
 
The US is getting amazing winter weather right now. Sucks for most in the SE but still amazing. Cold has settled into the southcentral US and is not moving. Storms then run up to the east (west of most for us) and keep dumping storm after storm. Memphis is getting crushed. Their temps and winter storms look like Minnesota. Current all of the state of Texas is under winter storm warnings. Of course I'm jealous but still amazed.

Outside of January 1940/1977, has there ever been a time where "eastern" sections of the SE have had such a prolonged period of intense cold as places like Memphis/Little Rock are currently experiencing? I've just accepted the fact that there's seemingly no correct "combination" out there anymore that brings periods of sustained cold/any significant semblance of a major winter storm to areas east of a longitudinal line (outside of the mountains) from virtually the middle of Alabama.

Jan 1892,Feb 1895,Feb 1899,Jan 1982,Jan 1988,Dec 1989,etc are times/years that comes to mind where the eastern SE had sustained cold with plenty of winter storm opportunities.

Unfortunately, this is very telling when far SE Texas (almost Brownsville)gets winter weather, but not Central AL and points east. I'm not sure if it's even possible for the eastern SE to get cold/wintry anymore, regardless of teleconnections or ENSO.

I would be very worried if there was not cold air anywhere in the us; basically what the Weather Channel was showing for February. We're just getting weather bad luck; or really we're just experiencing the full affects of a la nina pattern (..app runners) while record cold is in the US.

Isn't this LA Nina everything, but the typical LA Nina? The rainfall across our areas have been above average and the cold been pretty marginal(which often doesn't in LA Nina's) until now(where ironically the SE ridge takes over).Not really sure if this just bad luck and thing go back normal next year or year after(when there a major cold snap in the US, it progress to the SE coast)or this is telling us that maybe winter weather fans in eastern SE might screwed for the entire 2020s.
 
It feels weird to be home for this one ?

I've never seen a real snow at this house I moved closer to work after the only real winter had in 14/15

I was about to say. I bet it feels nice to be able to watch snow from the comforts of your home.

The fact that areas very far south are getting cold should encourage everyone in the southeast that it can still get cold very far south.

Yes, but so far, this doesn't apply to eastern SE. As GaWx pointed before ,the SE ridge is becoming more and more of a factor every winter to the point where even when the teleconnections are usually good for the eastern SE, the SE ridge still appears anyway. Maybe in some winters, the SE ridge may relax. However, based on the first two years of the 2020s,this decade don't look at all promising for areas east of the Appalachians.

Just gotta be patient. You'll get the cold one day while areas west get left out.

The storm track (app runners) is the one typical thing we have going. When you get storms traversing to your west, it's really hard to get winter storms.

Look at that trough, it’s just itching to pump heights into the NAO region, It’s just itching to not go straight up poleward but just wavebreak under those building heights 84559D57-5C06-48A9-A590-0CEDB7B1D164.png
