Yes, keep hope alive! I'm sure December is not going to be great. But if the blocking in greenland holds and we fight off a WAR/SE ridge most of the month like shown below, that's got to portend good things the rest of the winter....
As others have said, I can't remember any time AM has been this bullish on a winter. Doesn't mean he's right but it's interesting.
Remember that year Houston had a white Christmas?? That was good stuff! AM is the new JB?
2004 I believe ?
I remember that year that there was a big Christmas storm in the SE.

Ant is pretty good overall so his opinion does matter to some degree

I hope it’s not true, 2003 was awful here. Got 0.0. 2002 was great on the other hand.

Well, that was the year of the NC Piedmont massive ice storm. I can't recall any further snow though. We probably did but I can't recall. That ice storm was certainly memorable. I had no power for 3 days and it remained very cold after the storm. That was a very good winter pattern and I'm surprised we didn't get more. I'd take that pattern all day this year and take my chances.
Seems like forever now we have had to hope for a great pac to save us...maybe it's time for the atlantic to chip in here.
The hemispheric pattern for Dec looks like it could start off a lot different, outside the pacific, from the previous warm Dec's.

Fairly active winter, just no big dogs for the piedmont. Would gladly take a repeat, seems like we would be tracking something weekly.

It’s like nails on the chalkboard when I read “models flip flop” because they don’t....but GEFS sure is bouncing around. A couple discernible trends though is stronger NAO block and Siberian low.

Thanks for that. Great winter, I'm surprised I didn't remember that January 22 storm. It was a very good storm for CLT. I guess the following year's February 04 storm of the decade must have spoiled me! lol.
That ridging around the Hudson Bay/Davis strait has been showing up a lot, and not backing down yet.. it’s really saving us from any torching atm and helps to keep a more average pattern, if that ridging disappears tho things will get ugly unless the pacific miraculously looks better

Yeah that storm completely overshadowed the middle 2000s for those near the I-85 corridor between Greensboro & Charlotte.

I can’t remember a ‘storm of the decade’ storm for the 2010’s in the Charlotte area? Anyone care to elaborate?
