Pattern Novemburrr

Geez , I wasn’t aware Atlanta city proper has yet to record a freeze . It’s amazing that it’s UHI has essentially pushed its average first freeze date all the way to December . That’s similar to a typical coastal location . Imagine if we had an Atlanta sized city on the coast, place probably wouldn’t freeze till January . NYC actually averages it’s first freeze almost in December at la guardia. Granted LGA is a terrible station and runs 2 degrees warmer than other city stations so I don’t see it’s averages as reflective at all and complete rubbish . Same for Baltimore .

Well, we're technically talking about the airport, not the city proper. I think that even the city proper, which is 15 or so miles north, is a little colder than the airport on radiational nights. The airport is THE worst and is thus quite unrepresentative of the ATL area on good radiational cooling nights.

IF KATL doesn't get a freeze one of the next two nights, KSAV will have a shot at an earlier freeze. Ridiculous!

I’d imagine the city proper is worse though, downtown , buckhead , perimeter . Now the rest of city proper is more suburban in nature so you are right . Though I think the airport and the dense areas are bad.

The location needs to be moved north. I think TWC location would be a great place.

That's crazy there's part of North Carolina that hasn't seen an inch since 2011

I'm not too surprised by that, coastal areas do not average a whole lot especially the southeastern part of the state which probably has a median snowfall of like T lol. I'll dig into some of that data later, most years see under an inch there anyways if anything.

You are correct… especially areas along the southern coastal areas. I think Wilmington has only had two snowfalls of greater than 3 inches since the December 1989 Christmas Blizzard

Yeah those areas snowfall avaerage is almost non existent if my memory is correct,I think the far SE coast of NC(SE Pender County) and points south have a snowfall average less than 1(which is easily much worse than even the Midlands of SC or Central GA, or the I-20 corrdior areas in LA/MS) and have snowfall average that comparable to that of the I-10 corrdior areas or something like that. These areas would be lucky to see 1+ inches snow more than once every 7-10 years. Never lived in those areas,so I can't speak from personal expereince,but that's would be my guess.
