Pattern December Doldrums 2025 🎄 ❄️
- Thread starter SD
- Start date
1.08" of a nice soaking rain!
Here's how I take the upcoming pattern. First, it's NEVER cold/frigid for the entire winter. We live in the SE and there are ALWAYS periods of warmth, thaws. When I see Alaska going into the deep freeze, even for them, I start to wonder when the dam is going to burst and send it to the US. We shall see, but I'm not concerned in the least with a warm spell, even though it's over Christmas.

It’s going to turn positive. Nothing to worry about. We are gonna be tracking fantasy storms again by New Year’s Eve.

Might be the one time I'd hope for a cold rain, or the summer will be awful.

Modelologist / flavor of the day.
Meteorology knows it's anybody's guess, once you start getting out past 5-10 days with the exception of discerning Background state ( La nina/ el nino etc ).
Yep these people are gonna look like they always do, clueless when it flips and they are all screaming about the cold coming. It’s all a guess in the end. More likely than not it will flip. And if it don’t then I guess we have more data to add to the books for future guessing.
BAMwx was much colder for the whole month of Jan or for just the first half? Keep in mind that this BAMwx forecast map is just for the 1st half of Jan.

Ugh I tried to warn people when they cheered for early cold that we waste it a lot of years
That's a big difference from 2021 I see it was very warm... First freeze was 2 weeks later than this year. It's a lot drier this year too

Yes, there was a huge difference in the first half of Dec 2021 vs 2025. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of this month and loved the cold. I appreciate cold whenever we can get it. I and most here hated the warmth of the first half of Dec of 2021. And I’m enjoying the next couple of cool days, too.

Geez, these guys are basically model watchers like us. They flip and flop like a fish based on the models. More power to them I guess.
Long range looks warm, but what are you going to do? I'm going to start going outside more I guess. Hopefully 2nd week of January things mix up and the pig ridge goes poleward. And if it does, and the +PNA goes positive, @GaWx will be a legendary.
