Pattern December Discussion

not sure why anyone is even concerned with the NAO at this point given the last few years. I honestly could care less at this point. if it goes negative later in winter , great . If it stays positive,  great. I've scored more without a -NAO in the last 6 years vs with a -NAO

So at this point is a PNA more important than a NAO?

Another thing, why is this pattern so fast? I go from rain yesterday, to cold and 40s today, to 70s on Saturday.
 
I heard JB punted January for the east !? Y'all better prepare for a lot of cold and snow!!

No blocking and a bad pacific! Keeps things changeable and why we have to have perfect timing with a cold shot and moisture. Very transient pattern, progressive.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Pac has tenfold more influence on our fate as far as winter weather prospects go. Atlantic is the last peice of the puzzle that we can survive with or without 9 times out of 10. But you go monkeying with the pacific and it's long winter in the SE.

yep and I've scored alot in the last 6 years . a progressive pattern is fine with me. those with the mindset that you have to have a -NAO are in for a long three months . I -NAO is more important for eastern regions like south and north Carolina vs areas west of the apps. we can do fine with inland runners and app runners

You have to have the pacific in play unless you live in the CAD regions that might score with a crap pacific but a -NAO. I'm sure weber and larry might have some stats

to its the most  basic winter rule living in the SE especially my area that you taught me years ago. Pacific  , pacific ,pacific. I'd rather have a cooperating Pacific vs Atlantic any day of the week .

Obviously the NAO helps as it slows the pattern and helps with the storm track , I'm not saying I'll complain if it ever does establish itself.

But a progressive flow isn't the end of the world if the spacing is correct.  Obviously your depending on timing but hell, it's worked out well over the few years

it is funny though, my parents have barely seen snow since I moved after that. Lol. But I can remember long stretches earlier in the 2000s that were far longer than this. Welcome to living in the deep south.

[/quote] well If it weren't for the winter of 2014 then it would be like a 5 year stretch without snow in ATL. 11-12, 12-13, 14-15, 15-16 were awful years with just one good year sandwiched in between. It's been a very bad decade overall since 2011-12.

2003-2009 just off the top of my head... this winter isn't even over yet so it's not even been 3 years yet. :-*

oh and Atlanta shutting down over an inch of snow was the best storm ever... proves right there they aren't some snow alley. :-*
