Pattern December Discussion

I'm not too crazy about being in a cold pattern if it's also not a winter weather pattern. It would be nice to have some days in the 60s if we're not going to get snow.

I love the cold with or without snow. After a whole summer of heat humidity and bugs I always love when winter arrives.

Same here. The only good thing that comes out of cold weather is snow. Otherwise, it's just a waste.

The 2014 icestorm pounded much of GA and over into the SC midlands, but did not really reach the CAD areas. It was mostly sleet and snow in those areas. Some of NE GA and western SC get hit pretty good in 2015, but the classic CAD areas in the Carolinas have not had what I'd call a classic icestorm since 2005. It does look like the CAD wedges are going to be strong this year, so I think the Carolinas do get nailed this winter, most likely in Feb.

Unless I'm not getting the sarcasm here (it's hard to detect online), but what makes you think February will be the favored month to get an icestorm? Just wondering. I'm all for it, whenever it happens, just as long as it does happen.

I think he's meaning it's going to take that long for the pattern to get right, for a southern wintry precip pattern. And in his location, I believe the last two winters, his area was mostly ice on their big events and they were in February
 
It was 80 here today. Amazing considering the high was 43 degrees on Friday. 37 degree swing between two days and another big swing tomorrow.

I wouldn't be so surprised if this month December is the coldest month this winter season... course that wont mean we cant have some nice winter events... I am just saying going by average wise... say December will end up colder than normal... January will be normal slightly above average... February will average way above norms temp wise... :)

Just gonna throw this out there, but Jan will be atleast -2 below average for BHM, ATL, GSP , CLT and RAH

Yeah, sadly it say what winter? I know avg to +10 highs and lows are not torchy, but far from wintry also!

My point is that the 0Z does not have the west coast trough like the 18Z, 12Z, 6Z, etc. GFS had for next week. If that's a true trend, that's big news. The 18Z GEFS hinted at this very thing.
 
GFS 0z has mid/upper 60s in the Carolinas on the 26th!! That is a torch! But great for playing outside with all your new toys! :)

If this run were to verify, that would be the last day anywhere near that warm for quite a while. Big change afterward! again per the 0Z GFS fwiw. But as I said, the 18Z GEFS hinted at this.
 
Eh, 60's in my area for Christmas is not exactly a torch.  Seen it a great deal in my life.
 
It at least isn't the 80 degrees that this area saw last Christmas (I wasn't here but where I was actually at wasn't much better, it was in the mid 70s with flooding rain in Northwest Georgia when I was visiting relatives up there).

Wait. It hit 80 here today but it at least was a one day thing. Last year I swear there was at least five 80+ degree readings in December. It was that miserable for this time of year. Now it looks like last year's December may have been pushed to early January instead. But we'll see. Maybe there is a miracle turnaround. But there has been a precedent set before of Decembers being a month with some really cold snaps and that being it for the whole winter.

Which isn't good for the South as most of the South historically won't score in December.

(I just checked and there was only 3, but there was a ton of days in the upper 70s)

To which the 0Z King replied, 'That ridge!".  ;)

Despite the improved look of the 18Z GEFS/0Z GFS/GEFS, the 0Z Euro looked maybe even worse than the 12Z Euro!
 
Until something changes on the west coast, this pattern is gonna suck. No ridging/-PNA leads to northern stream dominating.

Then that may mean the weeklies aren't going to be so hot...not that I put much stock in them anyway.
