Pattern December to Remember

Yep, I saw a ring around the moon last night too and thought the same thing. Things just don't work like they used to

December’s similar to this occurred in 1889, 1931, 2015 and 2019. Probably a few others. Average at BNA so far is 52, top 5 December looking possible.
 
FWIW, the warmest December on record was back in 1933 (dust bowl era) with an average temp of 54*F.

After yesterday (and the day before, which both had below normal daily averages), DFW's average temperature sits at 59.8*F.

On top of that, DFW has never recorded a December with an average high above 65*F, and right now it sits at 71*F.

This isn't just a torch, it's an inferno.

12/19 did break the 50*F+ highs streak though, with only a high of 48*F.
 
Man didnt have radar,satelite,wx models , walked outside today would swear a snowstorm was rolling in. Thick clouds and freeze your butt off cold out this morning.
I told my wife this morning that it looked like a snow sky.
 
Just to kick us all while we are down on the ground after last nights model runs. The days start getting longer tommorrow.
Honestly though the Official wx seasonal calendar works better for my locaton than the Met seasonal calendar. Sept 21 we really are over the excess heat and humidity as first official day of Fall. Winter usually gets started post Dec 21 more so than Dec 1st. March 21st is probably about a week to 10 days late to officially ring in sping. By June 21 we have had several 90 degree days, but the evenings are still manegable in June. July/August is a whole other ballgame. Sweat getting out of the shower those 2 months.
 
The GFS operational was so bad with the west side of the rain shield all week long.
There are some blue returns along the 3000' spine, not sure if its actually reaching the ground though.

Crazy to think that DFW is looking at both an historially warm December and a historically warm February in the same year.

Got both winter extreme covered, haha!
