Jokes aside, anybody having problems receiving the RWT for WNG706? I have not heard my WR120 go off at all. It is on and has batteries. And plugged in

12Z Ukmet continues to echo the Euro in saying the GFS is flat out garbage

Kinda did away with flurries escaping the moutains but still a good look for the mountains for now.

See grit's post in the winter thread. The u-turn in the maritime tells the tale.

Howdy y'all! I just moved down to Tallahassee for a job and I'm excited to be joining the community here in the southeast. Some of you might recognize me from other forums around, but if not I'm originally from Pennsylvania, moved out to Wyoming for grad school, and now live in Florida. I'm a northerner so you can bet I'm excited for the cold blast next week.

I'm interested to see which locations approach or break record lows. Asheville will be interesting, the record for 11/10 is 18° and the GFS/Euro show lower 20s for lows. Charlotte remains above any records progged on guidance

Welcome in!

I get it. January/February average temp is colder than December thus we average more snow in January and February imby. The likelihood of getting snow, even with below normal temps in Dec is therefore less than in jan and feb.

I would rather it be in January to increase my chances for winter weather, but with the last decade being so warm all months I’ll take whatever I can get. Hopefully it can get super cold in Dec and we can have some fun.

November troughs I have zero expectations and just enjoy strange cool weather.

Actually, per averages, December is colder than February. January is the coldest, followed by December, then February. I suppose the biggest culprit with December not having more winter storms on average is that the mean storm track is still moving south, probably bottoming out in the late Jan to early Feb timeframe.

Here are averages for Charlotte - Dec / Jan / Feb / Mar since 1877:


Charlotte - Dec / Jan / Feb / Mar since 1999:



For good measure, here is Birmingham - Dec / Jan / Feb / Mar since 1896:

I’m guessing Feb is warmer than Dec largely because of the 2nd half of Feb which can get pretty warm sometimes.

Like Bill Parcells used to say though, you are what your record says you are. Same here. Plenty of reasons why Decembers can be warm, just like February.

We got 3-4 inches of snow across the upstate of SC on November 12 1968. The forecast that afternoon said, rain changing to snow after dark. I was looking out at the street light in front of our house and witnessed moderate to heavy rain, change to moderate to heavy snow instantly. https://www.dnr.sc.gov/climate/sco/climatedata/events/snow_24_11.php

I could be mistaken, but although February averages colder at the surface than December, aren't the upper levels typically colder in February?
