Pattern November 2023
- Thread starter packfan98
- Start date
NWS forecast was 29, my forecast was 26, reality was a butt freezing 23. Dang cold for November.
From RAH:
Widespread freezing temperatures across the area, with mid 20
readings common over the Piedmont and northern coastal plain and
even a few lower 20s in the cold locations. The growing season will
has come to an end across much of the entire forecast area. However,
the day shift will make the final call on the termination and will
communicate the decision via public information statement(PNS).

Yep. UHI in full effect. DCA only got to 34 while everyone else was in the 20's. Even some low 20's. Teens in the Valley.

Bottomed out at 29.1 shortly after taking the photo. Just outside of town at the farm here in St. Matthews, it (unofficially) got down to 25.9. Quite the frost/freeze this morning:

26 degrees in j town this am. Yesterday was 24 degrees ?
For at least central NC, the growing season is over. From RAH:
.NEAR TERM /TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
As of 920 AM Thursday...
Minimal changes were needed to the forecast with the morning update.
As anticipated, all counties had temperatures fall below freezing,
and the growing season has now come to an end across the entire
forecast area. No additional Freeze Watches, Freeze Warnings, or
Frost Advisories will be issued until Spring 2024. Previous
discussion follows.

Gonna be honest… next week looks like a straight up torch with upper 70s/low 80s returning. And I couldn’t be much more happier about it
We need warm in November.
Wont find me complaining. Stuff as many days in the 70’s as possible.

Only if it leads to a colder December through March!

What's with all the warmanistas in here??? Sad.
The last few years we've had cooler novembers and we've gotten nothing for it because the cold air runs out. We all know there's not enough cold air to last November through March non-stop. So it needs to happen during our climatology best chances for snow.Only if it leads to a colder December through March!

True. I just have to move back far enough north so that climatology works in my favor more often than not. I used to think i would like living in the south, but the longer i stay here the less i like it...LOL

Never happens so if you get cold its always a Jan-March thing. It always switches so let it switch later not earlier.Only if it leads to a colder December through March!

Yeah it looks like most of the outlooks are calling for more of a pattern switch say Mid-January or so.

We hear about the 09/10 winter so much, if you go back and look that fall started warm until mid December.

I liked the 10/11 winter better with one big storm but 09/10 had 3 small to mid size storms .

Loved the 2 huge storms in 09-10 but i remember lots of Winters growing up with several moderate events that sorta just replenished the snow cover. That was very cool.

Most niños are back loaded, meaning if you are going to see cold and snow, it's happening later than earlier. It's so difficult for any forecaster to even guess what each winter will be like. Of course most are paid to try there best, but it's a crapshoot in reality. In contrast, laninas are front loaded, meaning most cold and snow opportunities are earlier rather than later.
Well I think a lot of us remember that we’ve seen a number of cool Novembers the last few years and then the pattern has been flipping to a December torch. Cold in November isn’t going to lead to snow outside the mountains in the southeast 99% of the time.What's with all the warmanistas in here??? Sad.
You’re absolutely right. There were quick in and out cold shots in November and early December, but there wasn’t any lasting cold until a mid December right before the 12/18-19 winter storm. Then after staying cold through New Years, it warmed back up and stayed mostly mild until the last week of January

Thank you! Been warm to hot for months...I'll take all the cold I can get, whenever I can get it.What's with all the warmanistas in here??? Sad.

That's why I prefer 95/96. Got early dismissal from school in early Nov for sleet and then had low 20s in late April. In b/w had ups and downs of course but saw significant cold each month with multiple winter events. That winter is my gold standard.

I can't believe it's going to be in the 80s in Georgia next week. Way too warm for November.
The only winters I remember being wall to wall cold,
Was in the 70's.
77/78 was bitter.
75/76 seems was very cold also.
Along with 79/80.
As for the warmistas,
I was once in the as cold as possible for as long as possible camp.
I've crossed over to the other side.
The older you get the cold affects you much more than the heat does.
Also it just seems that extreme cold damages much more than extreme heat.
Pipes bursting !
Plus I've gotten extremely cheap in my old age.
Warm saves a ton on the natural gas bill.
Doesn't mean I don't want cold or winter weather.
I'll take some 10° nights or colder with plenty of snow storms but after a few at most,
Enough bugs and snakes should be dead to move on to moderate winter conditions.
I'm ready to be in the 60 to 70 for highs and 30-45 for lows.
Good sleeping weather and easy on the bills.

It's happened before.
I see the 35/20 expectations are coming back and it’s not met winter yet ?
Here's November 2009 for GSP. 6 days in the 70s and the coldest morning was 31
2 degrees above average for that month. I think KCLT was about the same.

Somebody in Georgia next week is going to hit 85, maybe even higher. Record highs perhaps ?
