If management says no, then fine. But until then, just enjoy my pictures on ignore! Thanks
It's kind of been explained numerous times, we allow post from members all over and maybe one day there will be sub-regional threads. Until such time his post about weather discussion in his backyard are welcome, just like post about Texas, Ok, Ga, etc. Also, your comment was more whambyish as many are becoming in here and I'd actually love to see those decrease in here. Thanks
No one is saying sustained wintry pattern coming for months on end … but we’re seeing significant signs that a shake up of the CURRENT sustained pattern of SER and days on days of 70s is going to change that is called pattern change. Remember where we live the SOUTH EAST we don’t see weeks and weeks of a great pattern .. we usually just go through roller coaster rides and when we are headed down we watch for winter potential. How long has everyone lived here? This is the first thing you have to understand being a winter weather lover but also being in the SE.
Dude you might want to reel it in a bit. Why go to the extreme with everything? No one suggested months on end sustained wintry pattern but as RC pointed out we usually do have sustained period or two to work with. And remember where you live? NC usually has longer sustained periods then other's in the SE, so these "remember we live in the South East" general statements don't pan out for everyone. Now I'd really like to see you answer his first question posed to you a few days back, seriously generally curious as to what you see that says we are headed for a much better pattern.
I don’t see anything that wrong with any pictures you showed .. what I see is absolutely no sign of a strong SER which is what everyone should be feeling great about.. all the other stuff 240 out specifically is nonsense .. we’ve seen literal exact opposite flips from images 240+ Within the time span of 6 hours .. there’s no need to think the world is ending with anything out there
And no one is asking for a "months on end" wintry pattern. And I don't need your sarcasm. I've been genuinely asking for evidence of a favorable pattern for us snow lovers. All I get in return is one-liners and !? symbols. I'm legit trying to discuss the pattern here. I don't see a favorable pattern for snow here.
TT has icon jumping from @hr 90 to 120. I can’t see in between
Fair. Here’s most of the entire run of the most recent GFS (remember I still believe anything 240 out can change on a dime) yes for people in Florida and southern areas of the SE states you’re still in line to see possible warm temperatures 60-70 degrees .. but for most everyone else? Consistently much colder than 70s every single day. This is a pattern change. If you live by the coast or in Florida I wouldn’t be expecting extended periods of cold any time of the year
Correct. I didn't show the world ending. I showed a train wreck for a sustained wintry pattern in the SE. If your goal is not to have days on end of 70+, then mission accomished (just don't look at the 6z 384 GFS). But if you're looking for sustained cold in any of those images for our region, good luck. Big PV bottled way up in Canada, no helpful -NAO/-AO, no big tall western ridge, ugly trough tilted west though the Pacific NW. = Not a sustained cold and wintry pattern for the SE US. Will we get there later? Probably at some point.
I'm not too excited about lows in the 30s/40s
I suppose that’s fair. I look for cold and anything below 70s is now doing it for me lol. But we need cold air to even thing about winter weather and we are finally getting that piece to the puzzle .. the rest comes with time .. I suppose it’s the other posters who continue doom and gloom that have irked me cause clearly it’s not that doom and gloom right I just think they trolling
I am when we’ve had lows in the 60s
Our loss is your gain.
Even in both of those winters there were fairly long stretches of mild weather. Much of January 2010 was mild after the first week until we saw the pattern change in the last few days and we had a major storm as soon as cold returned. Even as good as February 2014 was KCLT still ended 1 degree above average for the month. In my memory, I don’t think any winters had true wall to wall cold in the southeast in my memory… I do hear people talk about ‘76-77, but that’s to far back for me to remember, even still if one were to look up the data that winter probably has some mild periods as well… we are in the south after all.
76-77 was cold but January was record cold then boom February record warm . So even that wasn’t wall to wall.
Looking at those two months, you can see why if you’re a snow lover in the NC, upstate SC, northern GA, and Tennessee, you don’t want cold to completely dominate a pattern. Most of that stretch was very dry for those areas.
Now why can’t that bad boy churn over the Aleutians for 40 days and 40 nights..
January 1985 was pretty damn cold here whole month with plenty snow …
I hear you. I think we all might have a different idea of doom and gloom. I would consider that "oh it's not going to ever snow again" or "we're never going to have a shot at cold and snow this winter" or "I give up" (in December). Talking about a pattern that isn't really all that conducive for cold and snow isn't really doom and gloom. The other side of the coin -- blind optimism and ignoring reality is just as bad.
Fair but I think a period of below normal temps with even a shot at snow is better than an extended period of 60-70s with absolutely no chance of snow and even rain at times that’s a change I’m willing to accept with open arms at this point
You're pushing it
Actually I’m from Alabama and moved to Montana two years ago but it’s true I will admit I have complained about it being to cold up this way but regardless I’m a die hard snow fan who moved from the south to witness snow greatness but if it wasn’t for my job I wouldn’t even be up here I’ll still be in Tuscaloosa complaining like everyone else who don’t get snow in there backyard… sorry for the banner guys carry the hell on lol
Actually, my gain, is your gain! Snowpack helps y’all get colder air on down the line!
Out a few frames further and it looks to me that the GFS is lining up for one of its famous end-of-run southern snowstorms. Let's see.
CMC was not your friend however
It’s eh afterwords seasonal like rain cold said but I love to see no deep troughing off the west coast and instead some +PNA … would at least lean any new cold air coming down towards central and eastern US more than it has been
