Pattern December 2023

How many days in the 60s? I made a post yesterday about how the standard deviation was low. I've only had two highs below 50 and 7 days below freezing this month. My highest has only been 65.8F though.
Just checked. 3 at 60 and 2 at 61. 4.4 degrees above normal for the month. 52.5/32.6
 
GSP
Monthly totals
Highest 70°
Lowest 22°
14 days at 60° or higher
The one 70°
32° or lower 12 nights
With the next 3 forecast to go below 32°
 
That is a freaking ice age! No way that's happening. CFS is the junk food of weather models. You can't have almost the entire northern hemisphere above 30 degrees north at or below freezing, can you?
Look at the time stamp. It’s very possible at that time of the day in the middle of winter.
 
RDU still hasn’t gotten below 27 yet this winter. ?

RDU’s climate data is depressing to look at compared to even GSO. This year has been so warm!
Thats like saying KATL hasn't gotten below 29F.

Fulton County Airport, a mere 5 miles away from KATL has been 23F. KPDK has also been 23F. Its easy to throw out the outlier, but we have narratives to keep.

I've been in Gwinnett most of December and it feels pretty normal, definitely not torch like .

It definitely hasn't torched here this December. In fact, we're below average per our own station likely from the week or so we kept hitting 24 every morning for 4 or 5 days straight and highs in the upper 40s has lead our average temperature to the month to be 46.3. That's no torch.
 
To me it sounds like ATL really isn't representative of the metro area. Sorta like DCA is way out of bounds.
You could at least count on the highs being somewhat right, even that is out of bounds now. I was sending them screenshots of what the station was doing between 3-5 PM in the summer months and they basically told me to shove it. The station is above 5 runways, how that can be taken as seriously is beyond my comprehension, but then you take politics into the equation, and its hard to rule it out.

Haha above 5 runways????? Nice. ?
 
I'm in the northern suburbs and it's constantly 5° sometimes 6° colder than the airport when I check at night.

GSP and a smaller Downtown airport for GVL proper is less than 8 miles from each other,
Yet it's routine that GSP the more rural Airport is 3-8° cooler every night..
2-5° cooler in the Daytime...
Before GVL built up around that airport it was almost identical.
Heat islands are real.

They do the same thing at the Newark Airport. Always reads too high.

Yes, and the runways are constant. You can look in the air and see as far as the eye can see planes coming in and going out. It doesn't stop. Maybe I should put my station in the living room, maybe it would be more accurate like KATL.

Hahah....I've plane spotted there years ago. Amazing how many planes land and take off there.
 
They need an official station on the north side.
KPDK is very reliable still, and its still inside 285. Thats why I showed the comparison between there and GSP, almost identical.

KPDK (15 miles north)
58.3 36.8

Fulton County (5 miles north)
59.5 37.3

KATL
60.3 41.5

Is that the Peachtree Airport?
