What's that old saying "If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything". Well after looking at the 6z GFS, I have nothing to say.

It very well could be correct. Shows a three day cool down on days 12-15 (your map above), but it still has an overall warm look (whole run) for the southeast. Western US mountain areas might do well. Here's day 16 temp anomalies:
Hopefully this is wrong, scary thing is the (regular) GFS is way warmer.

6z GEFS looks a little better to me.

I think early this morning is the last time I'm going to be doing the tradition I started with the pandemic, which was stay up for the ball dropping. Yikes.
I'm never going to be able to up at 4 AM though @Mitch West but I used to be a major night owl. That started to change when I was 25, but I still was sometimes doing 1 to 9's for when I slept.

I was forced to be up at midnight due to my neighbors blowing up half the neighborhood from what sounded like fireworks they got deported from Japan.

Haha I was at work at midnight and yikes it was crazy for an hour at least
This might actually go down as one of the worst winters as far as storm potential. @Mitch West is right if we don’t start seeing some hope by next weekend , well you know the rest.
I can count my fantasy snow on one hand this year

Remember a couple of days ago when we were looking at at the 1/8 to 1/10 period for a potential winter storm threat? Now it's supposed to be in the 60s here that period. At least it will be warm. Saturday with rain and a high 0f 40 is going to suck.
Hate it's gotten to this point but local law enforcement is going to need to crack down on firearm discharges within city limits. It's technically not legal but not enforced. Local facebook is full of pictures of bullet dents on cars this AM.
It's different than back in the day where rural folks would pop off shotguns or whatever on New Years. Now suburbanites are firing off semi-auto .223 and whatever else that actually causes damage when it comes down.

Oh I know it's gotten ridiculous
I mean we're not in the middle of nowhere here either. There's people all around
Some lady got killed on her front porch the other day in a small town on the other side of the state by a dude doing target practice! I mean come on
Some of y'all need new material. You'd think the same ol shtick, same ol "catch phrases", would lose their luster after a couple of decades.
Maybe when Mother Nature gives us some new material to work with.

We have seen this script before. Not looking good. Hopefully I’m wrong long range.
I know we aren’t supposed to speak in absolutes but we are cooked. Not a single bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

Did you miss the memo on the pattern change?

Latest 12Z GFS. Pleasant spring weather in the east, west stays cold. Pattern is NOT going to break this year, weather fans. It's going to prove BAM, Mitch et al completely wrong. This winter in the east is absolutely cooked. It was over after the three weeks of sustained below normal in early December. Time to switch to other hobbies and let this one go until severe weather season kicks up in a month. I am definitely going to be sustained on one tank of propane this winter! I like that prospect, honestly!
You've got to be impressed with that Bermuda high! Not even a SE ridge, that's a downright, summer pattern! The real negative with this pattern is the trough is so far west, we can't get any moisture feed off the Gulf of America. We are going in to spring with a large rainfall deficit. We need that front to stall just to my west, from LA to WV. Hopefully February sets up with a western trough just a little farther east so we can get some good training storms!

Here is the Total QPF through 282 hours. Bad news for Atlanta. Get ready for water restrictions this year. With all of the data centers going in, it's going to be VERY restricted use of water. Probably going to apply to those on wells, too.

Just wow. Mid January. How many times has it been 70s in January?

There will be an event at some point and everyone on the forum will have to fight over the scraps. It will be the mid south, south, and the Carolinas fighting over a storm that may or may not even happen. Gonna get ugly in here quick. But that’s part of the fun tbh

Yes, if you live/visit in New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, etc, and want to go skiing. Looks good for those areas.

I think the week of sixties and seventies during Christmas was the "thaw" and we are just continuing with it. It's not transient but a long-term pattern. This is the playbook going forward. I've seen it many, many times in my life. It is absolutely going to sustain through the coldest month of the year. I bet summer will probably be below normal. We are absolutely heading in to a uni-climate, where the seasonality starts to disappear in the sub-tropics and average lows continue to increase in all seasons and average highs in the warm months keep decreasing.

Just like I don't take extreme cold at 318 seriously, I don't take extreme warmth at that range either. But what's Really annoying is even looks that gives you a tiny but of hope. I can't remember a longer stretch where we can't even get fantasy digital snow or ice. Its just been boring as hell.Just wow. Mid January. How many times has it been 70s in January?
