Pattern November Knock-Out

Just being curious .. if any of y all that are much more knowledgeable than I.. what was the winter of 72/73 ... This was the one that gave ATL the major ice storm in Jan, followed by the "Fall Line" snow dump in Feb, then the active Spring sever season that lasted into Memorial Day weekend.

strong El Nino.
 
Thank goodness the 18Z breaks this epic cold pattern we are in, and drops the good ole western trough/ eastern ridge relaxation period we've been looking for! :(
 
We have a cold Thanksgiving Eve on tap for the Mid-South tonight. Low of 26 for Memphis....
Parts of North West Tennessee has already made it below freezing.

one of the coldest days here so far before we go back above normal again

Airport still hasn't had a freeze though

and we're still running 5 degrees above normal for the month :rolleyes: still paying for those 90s that started the month

Even though last Nov was warmer up until the 23nd, there were actually more sub 40 lows than this year. 9 last year to this year's 7. The big difference is the highs were much warmer last year. Another difference is we're not as dry. (sorry, the weather pattern is currently boring,can't think of anything else to talk about).

been 2 weeks since it rained here and the Euro/GFS both are bone dry through day 10

No wonder I'm falling asleep lol

at least were not setting record highs but zzzz
 
that said, there is a monster snow storm for the mid-Atlantic at the very end of the 00z Gfs run.. Has there ever been a 300+ hour snow storm on the Gfs that verified?

Yes, it has happened few times before. Just last and the year before i actually tracked couple of winterstorms that started showing on the modles at around 300 hr. So yes its possible
 
What a wonderful Thanksgiving morning. 23 degrees in my backyard. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
 
Arctic Thanksgiving here at GSP ! 37 degrees! #EYEROLL
 
I count this as a win. Last Thanksgiving we hit 78° and today we are suppose to top out around 58°. The would be below normal for my area. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'm in a different area with mild CAD and neither my parent's or grandma get too much sun outside of the middle of the day but it topped out at 60 at the most and even though it cleared instead of staying cloudy, that still was raw. There was a steady light north wind.

Here's another: 64 in Denver, where my aunt lives. They actually are forecast to hit the mid 70s this weekend.
 
Well let's see.
60 people (family and friends) plus or minus a couple folks (not sure if 2 have qualified as members of humanity yet).
5 turkeys (1 fried, the other 4 traditional), one pig, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, white noodles in butter and garlic, noodles and gravy, real crab soup, stuffing, 3 salads, boiled p-nuts, corn on and off the cob, collards, shrimp toast, biscuits and gravy, probably some other stuff that hasn't been cleaned up yet, fudge, and a liquor store worth of beer and wine ...
Glad all of that was done before coming in and looking at the 18Z ... o_O
Anyways, here's hoping yours was/is great and we'll keep on truckin' and see what the winter brings!

Brings back memories of Dante's Inferno, Ring 3: Against God, Art, and Nature: The third round of the seventh circle is a great Plain of Burning Sand scorched by great flakes of flame falling slowly down from the sky ...
