With this and the possibility of a strong la nina like in 2010 I'm cautiously optimistic.
Last report from a week ago says moderate to strong.I thought this was going to be a mild to moderate La Niña.
Read it and weep!
Winter forecasts are like political polls. You can say a certain candidate will win all day, but the election is the only thing that matters.Give me every bad forecast possible. They all did horrible when they said we'd have blockbuster winters so I'll take my chances on having the opposite.
Yeah chances of a strong Niña increasing substantiallyLast report from a week ago says moderate to strong.
Pretty much exactly how my whole night went during the December 8-9, 2018 storm in southeast Wake (really in Johnston county)
Models had several hours of snow for me before turning to rain. But as soon as the precip started I watched that R/SN line surge north FAST. Managed a slushy inch before melting before dawn from rain. 20min north got 5-7+.
By far the most miserable winter event I’ve ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I left Wake county in the dust a few months later ✌?
Bring it.Yeah chances of a strong Niña increasing substantially

Bingo!The last strong Nina was 2010-11.
I'm betting they are going to do warm and dry for the Southeast.NOAA releases its winter outlook tomorrow.
My guess is a cold December and torch the rest of the way.
I'd like a cold December. Aside from 2017 every December since 2011 has been warmer than normal for practically all of the SE US.My guess is a cold December and torch the rest of the way.
