I just don't like how it warms up so fast. 16 in Birmingham one morning and 27 the next morning. We need to somehow find a way to get cold air locked down here.
the euro is a reloading pattern . end of the run another blast is on the way. Given the northern hemisphere pattern at 500 mb we are not gonna lock cold in down our way. what we will do is lock it in on our side of the world which is a huge victory and 180 degrees different from this time last year

It just makes it easier to tap the cold source. Its alot easier to make lemonade out of lemons when they are close by. Does not mean we see stronger cold fronts verbatim. Problem with the pattern is, it's not a typical winter weather pattern for the SE ( if there is such a thing). In this type of pattern we need to watch for overrunning along the arctic front or an embedded shortwave that rides the flow across the country . Problem with that idea is , more than likely it passes north of the region , kinda like the 12z euro is showing at day ten.
The midweek setup on the euro is tricky. the cold blast is too strong and really crushes any possible wave that develops. Ok, so we want a weaker cold shot to allow for amplification? Then your running the risk of temps being too warm. Life in the southeast .
The question becomes what happens to the pattern towards christmas. No doubt it's gonna break and be warmer but what happens after that? Do we build higher heights in the west? What does the AO/NAO do?? Does the PV start to strengthen and head towards the pole? If that happens the brutal cold in Canada will modify . Only thing I like at this point is the cold is on our side world currently. How long does it stay is the question
I'll say it again , this type of pattern favors the upper southeast . Arkansas ,Tenn and NC. Does that mean we can't wintry down our way ? No ,
but the chances are not very good

[/quote] Well that is downright depressing. The fact that there's so much cold air moving to the south and we still can't cash in pretty much makes me want to give up hope on this winter.

winter just started no reason to give up. It's not doom and gloom and all. We just need a little suffer at H5 to get us in a better pattern for wintry weather . I'm not saying it can't or won't happen for someone late next week . I just think the odds are pretty low at this point if you live south of Tennessee
