Pattern December Doldrums 2025 🎄 ❄️

The GEFS and EPS have big disagreement 12/25-1/3! Fwiw, JMA, BOM, and CFS favor GEFS:





Meanwhile, phase 8, which helped bring strong cold Dec 3-7 and Dec 15 but won’t next week, returned on 12/17 and will likely be with us for awhile:

One thing I will never, ever do, I don't care when; call 72 disgusting.

After the assured three month, miserable southern summer, I just cant.

If this verifies, it would be pretty historic for late Dec though not to the extent of 21, 15, and 84, which had 70+ 6 days, and 1971/1889, which had 5 days of it, within Dec 20-31.

72 is disgusting if the Dewpoint is also 72 !

GAWX brought up a good point in referencing December 1889. I think that this entire board would lose it's collective mind if another winter like the one of 1889-1890 happened, it's by far one of the most least talked about torch years due to it's antiquity and lack of records for some locales in the SE. From my research, that winter actually makes some of our recent warm ones mediocre looking in scope.

Same timeframe the GFS AI showed is on the Euro. Just no crazy fantasy output.. something is there though.
