Pattern December to Remember

Quick chill followed by a warm up in time for Christmas. That cold probably moderates between now and then.

I think there’s some confusion which is leading to all the banter. The excitement today over model guidance is warranted. But I think people are misunderstanding the excitement. Some people think this means winter storms are imminent lol. The pattern is showing signs of setting up for further down the road. We’re playing the long game here folks. This isn’t impacting Christmas as much as it is the first weeks in January. Be patient and enjoy the weather outside. January is looking up

Mostly I don't want to have a shorts and flip flops kind of Christmas. If I can at least keep high temps below 65, I'll be doing ok by my book. :)

Man last winter was so bad with this. We all
thought that we had a slam dunk pattern and then bam Texas gets the pattern instead. So much CAD ice.

Yeah for some reason Texas has become a better spot for snow than our area lol. It’s still far out but this pattern benefits folks west of the apps much more than east of the apps.

I’d love to know a pattern that benefits those of us east of the apps. At this point I’m beginning to believe there isn’t one.
 
I don't think we will have sustained warmth or cold all winter. Looks like a lot of back and forth with brief warm periods followed by a cool down and maybe a few cold shots here and there. We will just have to get lucky with the cold shots if we want to get any snow.

Somewhat agree but would not call the warm periods brief…I think long warm periods with intermittent cool downs and opportunities to score for western portions of the Deep South and for the upper south. Probably climo honestly.

Good chance of thunder in Wilkes/Surry (north of 40 and west of 77) today could spell winter storm in roughly 2 weeks which would give us a white Christmas WOW

The very interesting aspect here is that some of these also had a little ice storm before the main storm hit .. as well all of these big time members showed almost a very similar storm set up in each at the same time too so maybe you would think they are trying to latch onto something

This could be screen printed on a shirt and worn each winter in the south.
