Overcast and a little drizzle gave way to full sunshine.
That guy sounds like a real bonehead. Who the hell wants summer all year round???????Fro must be writing for FFC now:
Saturday`s high temps will be
in the mid 70s and low 80s and that may be the last time we see
those numbers for a little while. If you`re a fan of cooler weather
I invite you to read the long term forecast. If you are a fan of
summer, you can stay here and mourn with me.
I say the same for boneheads that want cold all year round.That guy sounds like a real bonehead. Who the hell wants summer all year round???????
4 seasons is preferable. I'll take the seasons in the Mid-Atlantic please.I say the same for boneheads that want cold all year round.
Some people say Georgia doesn't have 4 seasons but I disagree. We may not get snow, but that doesn't mean we don't have winter.4 seasons is preferable. I'll take the seasons in the Mid-Atlantic please.![]()
Yes, Georgia can eek out a little winter in January.Some people say Georgia doesn't have 4 seasons but I disagree. We may not get snow, but that doesn't mean we don't have winter.
Locality. If I’m in the tropics or at the beach, give me summer all year. If I’m in the mountains I want 4 seasons. If I’m in Buffalo, I want an extended winter.I say the same for boneheads that want cold all year round.
I would definitely say North Georgia has 4 seasons.Some people say Georgia doesn't have 4 seasons but I disagree. We may not get snow, but that doesn't mean we don't have winter.
It's all relative I guess. I'm in Northern Upstate and I don't think we have 4 seasons. We get maybe a day or two of winter but that doesn't make a season. We either get an extended Fall or Early Spring or a mix of both. I always say Boone is probably my ideal climate; mild summer, long fall and spring, and an actual winter season.I would definitely say North Georgia has 4 seasons.
Yeah i was thinking in general for the South. These last few Winters in the South have taken their toll on averages. Boone's avg. snowfall for 1981-2010 was 35.3 then it dropped to 25.6 for the 1991-2020 period and down even further where the 15 year avg. is now 24.It's all relative I guess.

It’s like that snow barrier keeps drifting north over the years.Yeah i was thinking in general for the South. These last few Winters in the South have taken their toll on averages.

Same for just about every location South of Philadelphia.
I think its definitely real. We have to really hope for some decent cold this Winter because i think that there will be moisture readily available. Its really why i want/need to move back further North. The only place in NC i think i could handle would be the mountains. My family is from Western Pennsylvania originally. That's probably where i need to end up.It’s like that snow barrier keeps drifting north over the years.
South Atlanta Vs north Atlanta. Big difference. It snows in north Georgia just about every year. Nobody counts Peachtree City as Atlanta. We play this game every year.There was a time when you could count on at least a dusting of snow every year in Atlanta but that is no longer the case. Going 5 years without any snow on the ground is becoming the norm.
The airport is on the South side iirc. How have places like Marietta done?There was a time when you could count on at least a dusting of snow every year in Atlanta but that is no longer the case. Going 5 years without any snow on the ground is becoming the norm.
It does not snow in the Northern suburbs of Atlanta every year. Flakes in the air sure, but they don't get snow on the ground every winter.South Atlanta Vs north Atlanta. Big difference.

Snow is snow. we count traces still.It does not snow in the Northern suburbs of Atlanta every year. Flakes in the air sure, but they don't get snow on the ground every winter.
I'm talking about enough snow to fully cover the ground.Snow is snow. we count traces still.
I'd say close to 90% of the winters I've seen I've had at least a coating on the ground. Now 3"+ is another story.It does not snow in the Northern suburbs of Atlanta every year. Flakes in the air sure, but they don't get snow on the ground every winter.
That's not normal and has never been normal to get every winter down here.I'm talking about enough snow to fully cover the ground.
I don't count temps in the 40's as winter weather. That's a cool Autumn day. Need temps below 40 with lows in the low to mid twenties to even start to consider it "winter" weather. Around here, we have two seasons, summer and less-summer. I just got back from vacation in FL. They have license plates that say "endless summer" and for anywhere south of Troy, AL to Savannah, GA, it is basically true.I didn't realize temperatures in the '40s many days in the winter don't count as winter weather. Hmmm.
No part of Georgia has endless summer. Heck, even South GA will have highs in the 60s over the next few days and it's only Mid October.I don't count temps in the 40's as winter weather.

A little while probably means like a week or two. Lol we can never say we're done with 80s like we say with the 90s. I'm almost certain every city along and south of 85 is capable of hitting 80 even in Jan.Fro must be writing for FFC now:

Also remember the gulf air is being fed by much warmer than normal waters as well.A little while probably means like a week or two. Lol we can never say we're done with 80s like we say with the 90s. I'm almost certain every city along and south of 85 is capable of hitting 80 even in Jan.
Looks like I did too. Temp and solar dropped.My weather station recorded the eclipse related drop in solar insolation well. I love the way that weak sunshine feels. We maxed around 56% coverage here.

That's my worry for the winter. Even if we keep the storm track south and get a perfect track with cold available to the north how do we fight off the inevitable warm nose due to what you just mentioned? Some see it as rocket fuel for storms which is true. But I see massive warm noses that turn a would be double digit storm to a slop fest. We'll see I guessAlso remember the gulf air is being fed by much warmer than normal waters as well.
I agree. I suppose I could see the mountains fairing okay with the cold air embankment, however I wouldn’t trust anything east of that outside of some very cold deep layered air mass intrusions.That's my worry for the winter.

there is 100% chance somewhere in Georgia will hit 80 between now and February.A little while probably means like a week or two. Lol we can never say we're done with 80s like we say with the 90s. I'm almost certain every city along and south of 85 is capable of hitting 80 even in Jan.
