Yep. Too hot and uncomfortable and just plain wrong.I can't believe it's going to be in the 80s in Georgia next week. Way too warm for November.
IDK I think 80 is at least 15 degrees too warm for this time of year. IAD average is 63/40I guess we are having fall this year ?
November snow last year did us no good for the winter so I'm fine with waiting
I get people are tired of warmth but like it's not like warmth now is like summer either...

Oddly enough that was a weak La Niña, and it was definitely not a normal one. December was slightly below average, but did get mild a few days after Christmas into the first couple days of the January. Then of course there was the big storm of 1/6-1/8 followed by a few days of very cold temperatures then another significant storm on 1/11-1/12… after that things got mostly mild with some quick in and out cold snaps for the rest of the month followed of course by the huge ice/sleet storm across the southeast and the Arctic blast that followed it. I think the western and central Carolinas had another smaller snow event around mid February.This was Nov 1995 before that big winter. Not sure if that was an El Nino but it was wet and cold.

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.
If by Atlanta you mean the square mile around the airport. Literally everywhere else around there had one last night.If AccuWeather is right, Atlanta will have their first freeze of the season on December 15th.
even parts of South Georgia had a freeze last night.If by Atlanta you mean the square mile around the airport. Literally everywhere else around there had one last night.
This November may be cold but certainly not wet. No rain in sight on the GFS. The drought map just keeps getting more colorful.This was Nov 1995 before that big winter. Not sure if that was an El Nino but it was wet and cold.

LOL I'm the opposite. The heat really gets to me now. Also very boring to track heat.The only winters I remember being wall to wall cold,

76-77 was alot more cold than 77-78 but all of them were legendary. Trust me, this forum would have more action than Bill Clinton ?? if we ever get anything remotely similar. Just saying. Lots of drawer changing lol
Anything below 20 is too cold under any circumstances. 32 will get you are good snowstorm if other things are right for it.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.
Coldest i ever experienced was 18 below. Not that bad really if the wind isn't blowing..lolAnything below 20 is too cold under any circumstances. 32 will get you are good snowstorm if other things are right for it.
coldest i experienced was -12 in January 2018.Coldest i ever experienced was 18 below. Not that bad really if the wind isn't blowing..lol
All temps below 32 sucks unless it’s snowing.coldest i experienced was -12 in January 2018.
Careful, your warmanista side is showing. Cold air builds character!All temps below 32 sucks unless it’s snowing.
cold air keeps the riff raff awayCareful, your warmanista side is showing. Cold air builds character!![]()
Hey there is something to that. Lower crime rates in cold weather.cold air keeps the riff raff away

Both the GEFS and the EPS the last couple days are really starting to pick up the activity of the STJ as we go into the 11-15th timeframe. The GEFS has a widespread 1.5-2” precipitation mean by the 18th. The timing on this follows right in line when we typically start seeing moisture dramatically increase during a moderate to strong El Niño.This November may be cold but certainly not wet. No rain in sight on the GFS. The drought map just keeps getting more colorful.
Yeah… those low dewpoints last night left very little frost this morning despite dropping down into the 20s.32/32 looks like it's setting up to be a mega frost type night
Hopefully the ops will start indicating it alsoBoth the GEFS and the EPS the last couple days are really starting to pick up the activity of the STJ as we go into the 11-15th timeframe.

Don't even get me started about this crock of ----. I have had 3 nights this spell at 30 or lower, currently I have 28. The Airport has 39. The “official” temp for Atlanta is hideously misleading.If by Atlanta you mean the square mile around the airport. Literally everywhere else around there had one last night.
Can’t speak for our entire region obviously, but for Atlanta October this year for example was WAY WARMER overall than October 2009 was. There were 9 days in the 80s compared to 2 80+ degree days in 2009. Another significant difference is precipitation also. October 2009 was extremely wet (8.71 inches). There was only 1.78 inches recorded last month at the airport. It’s too early to say how November/December will turn out on temps/precip, but with the possibility of low 80s returning again next week I can say if it happens November 2023 will be warmer than November 2009 was. The warmest day was 74 that month/year. Personally, I feel like this El Niño has been off to a slower start compared to 2009/10 mainly on the precipitation. The temperatures don’t matter that much at this point, it’s fall not winter yet. The switch can wait to flip on winter temps post December 20th as far as I’m concerned.We hear about the 09/10 winter so much, if you go back and look that fall started warm until mid December.
Yeah actually it shows snow from about Highland County VA south into NC.NC guys need to look at the 12z GFS. It has snow, at least briefly, over much of the area west of I-77 at 240.
0 pattern support unfortunately, it’ll be gone next runYeah actually it shows snow from about Highland County VA south into NC.
There is literally zero support for it. The GEFS mean has temperatures well into the 60s that day.NC guys need to look at the 12z GFS. It has snow, at least briefly, over much of the area west of I-77 at 240.
Yeah, it is not happening of course. I just thought it was interesting. A month later it might have had a chance. I just hope the rain it shows is right.There is literally zero support for it. The GEFS mean has temperatures well into the 60s that day.
