I don't understand why anyone would not want a cold & wintry December. I mean unless you just don't give a darn about snow around Christmas. Personally, if I had to pick a month to have a Winter storm & I had to pick between December, January & February it would be December every time. I would sacrifice the rest of Winter to just get a snowstorm in the days/weeks leading up to Christmas. You give me Winter storm rolling in the afternoon of the last day of school for the kids before Christmas break, that is peak life right there.

A repeat of December 1989 about 100 miles to the northwest would be perfect for you. Move it back another 50 miles and both of us would love it.
 
Ahhh, Shades of Dec 1989 incoming into the Chat..

I'm with you Mitch. I mean all our lives we see Norman Rockwell paintings, movies, some Christmas songs associated with snow at Christmas. Just makes it even more exciting to me.

What about December 2002, 2005, and 2010. The Carolinas had major events then. Going farther back, December 1989 was 100% front loaded here.

The averages aren’t with Dec! How many snows have we had in Nov/Dec compared to Jan/Feb?

It doesn’t matter how you load! Front or back, when you see flakes fly in the South, it’s magical

I agree to disagree based on averages! I love cold around Christmas as much as the next guy/gal but I would happily give it up for measurable snow in Jan/Feb like the norm.

I will take cold and snow whenever the atmosphere wants to give it.

If I'm picking, then im picking big snow at Christmas.

Actually, if I'm picking, I'm picking big snow all winter.

I would go as far as to say that if it snowed a “big” snow at Christmas I would be fine with blowtorch Jan and Feb.
 
Who knows what Jan/Feb will bring. I’m rooting for whatever pattern brings cold as soon as possible. A blowtorch December is no guarantee of a good Jan/Feb!

The thing is though with the background state of a weak LaNina were more likely to see good events in December and the first couple weeks of January. As Webb pointed out, there some strong indications that the second half of winter is a torch

Front loaded winter if that occurred, which would be good if it happens like that

Only scary part is if nothing lines up in Dec/Early Jan then you’re just sol waiting for next year. Sometimes I like the hope of what could be in Jan/Feb. I never want to hear they are going to be 💩.

Every winter is different, regardless of many analogs people use and all the comparisons people try to do. That's the reality

Cold regardless should always be celebrated. We roast 6 months out of the year.

I had an 8 month growing season here in Ames this summer! Simply amazing!
April-November! I hope we pay dearly in the next 4 months!
