I was talking outside of NC. However Larry answered the part on ATL and it sounds like it was a decent one at least over here. Not sure about SC, TN, or AL.It was actually one of the best winters of the 1980s in NC overall in terms of combined cold & snow. Much of the piedmont and mountains doubled-tripled their seasonal snowfall, averages. It really sucked along/east of I-95 except in the southern coastal plain towards Fayetteville & Lumberton where their snowfall averages are pretty low.

Interesting times ahead hemispherically

Yep the closer to the mountains and the Virginia border the better it was. Big snowstorms on Jan1, Jan 22, Jan 25, in late Feb, and another in early April. A big sleet storm in the middle of Feb too over much of NC and northwest SC.It was actually one of the best winters of the 1980s in NC overall in terms of combined cold & snow.

For GA south of an Atlanta to Athens line and most of Al, Miss, and lower SC it was not a great winter. Not sure about TN though, except in the mountains.I was talking outside of NC.

I guess the only good thing is that the sun angle is much lower in September than in July and the days are shorter which makes it easier to tolerate the heat and humidity.I am amazed at how warm the forecasts are for the next 15 days for the US as a whole and for the NE/Midwest especially. Even the SE gets in on this heat with RDU &
ATL averaging about 5 & 3.5, respectively, warmer than normal 8/31-9/14. Some areas in the Midwest/NE are as much as 8-9 warmer than normal!
Going back to 1950 on a nationally degree day population weighted basis, the forecast I saw is for record warmth by about 1 degree/day averaged out vs the current record warm holder of 2015 and which is as warm as the 30 year normal for July 1-15!!
This also tells me that the forecasted E US ridging to our north could easily be in record strong territory going back to 1950 when looking at 8/31-9/14 as a whole. This would mean the JB “ridge over troubled waters” in overdrive should it verify and merits a very close eye on any TC that happens to be located not too far off the SE coast as it would be in a potentially threatening position to move WNW or NW into the SE US as Webb and others have mentioned.
It could be worse. It could be like 2 years ago when it torched like this in September, and kept torching like the energizer bunny all through the fall and basically all winter. I'm glad that's not happening (I don't think)I guess the only good thing is that the sun angle is much lower in September than in July and the days are shorter which makes it easier to tolerate the heat and humidity.
September 2002 SST has some similarities to now and September 2002 was very warm.
minimal, but yeah... that's interesting.. that part of the gulf is prime for something, according to the NWS.the Euro just brought a hurricane into New Orleans on Wednesday morning
Okay then
