Misc Cold Season Complaining

All time record global highs being broken. What did everyone expect otherwise? I'm happy with my 2 snows.

True words spoken there. Just watching globally the last couple of years I've all but given up down here. It's getting very hard to ignore that these record warm sst's are greatly affecting patterns globally and making it nearly impossible to get a pattern that produces down here se of the Apps.

It's not the fact it hasn't snowed yet. It never really has in December. It's looking ahead and seeing the hole we're about to dig right after Christmas. We're almost guaranteed now to piss away the 1st 10 days of Jan, if not the whole 1st half. And Jan seems to be the only month capable of producing anymore considering Feb hasn't done anything in 10 years now. I'd say our chances of doing this snowless thing 3 years in a row now have gone up dramatically now. December went on that 10 year run of being above average, but that's not what's hurt us in the snowfall department. It's been losing Feb that's caused this. Feb was the snowiest month for most places in the SE.
 
I'm not normally negative but feels like we should punt to January already. These marginal cold (initially) shortwaves have to dive in the perfect way for many to score. Ridge out west has trended flatter and flatter. In terms of after the system we have been tracking, cold seems to disappear. Let me know when real cold comes back like the shot we had earlier this month.

Haven’t the long range models trended colder? Not saying that’s the staple for all of winter but everyone is staying in the fence of disregarding the long range! I have just succumbed to the fact that it will be year 3 with no snow in my zip code! Hard to be disappointed with no expectations!

Bleak is all I can say. Things are looking real bleak.

Hurricane season was over in June, winter is over in December

I say this half jokingly, but sometimes I do think our seasons are getting out of whack.

For example, our Fall foliage down here in Columbia has been coming in waves of peak colors since like Late October. Our Oak trees are still colorful like it's Mid November. I have never seen the leaves hang around this long.... And we have had several hard freezes so far. It has been an incredibly weird Fall & I swear it seems like it all started with Hurricane Helene.
 
I still remember the first year I was here... 13 inches of snow after February 1st. Zero before it

A massive swath of the southeast had a 5-20 inch rain event with high winds to end september and then capped that with 2 months of practically no rain, the subseasonal changes have been very wonky this year

I think that had a ton to do with it if not all.
