Come on Fro. We all know. Hang in there buddy. You and lick still have quite a ways to go till May. But you live in the southeast. You will get your warmups as always but im afraid more cold is coming down the road for you also as it's not even January yet. For now though, the 10 day or so warmup will give you and lick a much needed chance to thaw out and knock the ice off. Enjoy your warm up.
We have already seen what super cold air can do for us in these latitudes.
Nothings really happening that we haven’t been expecting. Warm first half of January. Colder second half with more opportunities for winter weather. ??That PAC jet is gonna have to relax ??
But Joe is missing a key element on this map. Lower heights over the Atlantic. This look is all fine and dandy in getting moisture, but there's no cold air around. The snow is dead in the SE -- this should say something.
Yep no 50/50 low with the look showing up mid jan. It’s been a struggle all winter long so far. The look showing up is a mid pattern at best. Favors mountain and interior NE snow events and cold rains around here. It isn’t a snow look or a look to even get excited about. 50/50 low is a key element in NC winter storms
And the block N of Ak
Well we saw this map look great for the end of December for a few weeks and we see how that turned out. So this map really means nothing lol
In his video he said mid Atlantic and northeast. Never mentioned southeast as far as after the torch
It will change at 06z, but classic Southern Slider (Dec 2018, Feb 2004), pattern on the 00z GFS
Yeah the NBM also had an average of 4 inches of snow for me for the Xmas cold snap.
You mean worse for cold? I thought you were on the warminista train now? I'm so confused...
I meant worse for cold lovers, I’m not a cold lover, but rather a snow lover and warm lover
Maybe that will happen and no one can accuse me of being a snow optimist but usually when the US east of the rockies is warm then Alaska and the west are colder than normal. No way that verifies. Either its warm here and cold in Alaska or it will be the opposite but not both.
I am going to break this as gently but directly as I know how; these two things do not go together. You're going to have a lot of frustration ahead!
When I see a snow pattern, I’ll bite. I don’t see one through 384 on ensembles. so bring on warmth !!I am going to break this as gently but directly as I know how; these two things do not go together. You're going to have a lot of frustration ahead!
It doesn't do us much good when it's loaded with snowy members either. But, like you, I'm not expecting much in the way of wintry threats for the next couple of weeks. Fortunately for us cold lovers, our weather prediction tools don't seem to have a lot of skill past 2 or 3 weeks. So, it's entirely possible that we could start seeing signs of a change back in the next few days. Plus, we really haven't had any sustained 6 week patterns in a good while. I doubt that changes all of a sudden.
Remember when it looked like we were going to be cold through early January a couple of weeks ago and how quickly it changes? The “pattern” appears to be lasting in 2 week spurts and has been going back to September. Until that breaks, I’m expecting a change by the 15th. We will be in peak or just after climo as well. Besides we never have wall to wall warmth or cold in winter so you should expect spells or above and below average temps.
I don’t think your opinion is weird at all. I’m in total agreement. We are going above freezing for the first time in 6 days at the house here and it mostly sucked…dry, cold, below zero, pipes freezing…and no snow. Yuck…give me snow above warmth but not just cold.
Bingo. You and Fro are my climate heroes.
Yep exactly, the reason why I was frothing over the last pattern was because, it had the ability to produce snow, but I didn’t. Some good patterns just don’t produce. the cold was absolutely miserable, it was cool for the 1st day but I got old quick. I mean who enjoys that sort of stuff ? The outdoors is essential to one’s health, vitamins and just mental health. and 60 degree weather is perfect outdoor weather. Next week and a half looks good for that. I’m happy. When I start seeing a look that supports snow on ensembles, I start to post the maps everyone loves again.
