Last 10 years November has trended mostly cooler across our region! However as we all know that doesn’t always portend to colder winters . Hence the name naughty November , she teases but leaves us right when we need her .

I’d rather it be warmer in November and even December. It seems I remember many winters that were good starting off warmer or normal that ended up being colder and snowier when it really mattered. It could just be because colder early just hasn’t panned out the last few winters though. I really try not to get to excited for snow until at least mid December anyways since we rarely get more than a dusting before January first.

Same here, I gave up on the winter of 2015, end of February and all the storms went just to our north. Then out of nowhere February 25th snow of 7 inches and a March snow/sleet of about 3 inches. Don’t want to wait that long but yea, cold November’s have been horrible here.?

Honestly i would rather it be cold in Dec than Jan. For one, it makes the Christmas season actually feel like Christmas. I find January cold more depressing because by then the holidays are over and it's just not as fun. Plus the sun angle is lower in Dec. So I would rather have cold and snow in Dec. And honestly most places in the south don't average much more snow in Jan than Dec. Maybe an inch or two more in Jan at the most. Atl averages 1.3 in Jan and 0.4 in Dec, so basically the same.
 
I mean I expect to see AN heights over us 95% of the time! But to see the whole country fail like that has to be rare. Hope this isn't another 11-12 repeat. But if it is at least the whole country will share in our misery.
It's all setting up the great reversal!!
 
Wouldn't be shocked to see the first frost/freeze of the season on Monday/Tuesday. Really like Tuesday to go low dews in the mid 20s to low 30s in many areas. Think 30 is a good starting point here if we keep a breeze 32-34 if we go calm 26-28
 
Fwiw, 12Z GEFS looks like it will come in much colder for at least the Midwest/Plains/TX vs earlier runs in week 2. Let's see whether or not the SER holds that back later in the run. Will be interesting to see what happens in it.
 
The weeklies do flip the script as we head into the final week of November into December. Goes along with some of HM's musings with a flip in the MJO. Although that persistent trough over Alaska isn't pretty.

Hopefully that snowfall map is in the neighborhood of being right and we see that snowpack build in the northeast US and southeast Canada. It would be good the have a good source region for CAD.
