Wintry Winter 2024-25 Discussion

Does it really matter? I don't know if any historical corrections hold, tbh.
Just my humble opinion but the seasons have changed a bit. We hold on to cooler weather longer and also the warm. I would imagine this is cyclical through time and a rebound will happen one way or the other soon enough.
 
Damn it they have me near the edge by cold and snowy but still in mild and wet. Guess I’ll cancel winter and check back next fall. 😂 In all seriousness even though these maps are rarely right I still somehow end up happy or sad depending on what they show.

Lol I don't even care what they predict here... Til it's falling I don't believe it anymore. Two winters in a row falling apart in the final day...
 
One analog that might be like this winter was 1931-32, though the SE was much wetter that winter. Maps showed an very warm October that continued right into the Feb before turning much colder in March and had a horrific Deep South tornado outbreak on 3/21. Also, that year was a negative neutral coming off the Strong nino the previous winter.

I don’t really like the look of this winter’s overall pattern at all. Although I will say this, synoptic meteorology doesn’t care about patterns. There will be chances I promise y'all that. Expectations are not as high this year so let’s go into this by being patient!

Last year there were tremendous expectations for a back half great winter, but that didn't work out at all. More front loaded actually imo
 
At least expectations are low this winter so there wont be any letdowns.
Until that one storm forms and is tracked for a while, with a thread made 6 days out for it to move NW every run within 48 hours and only give people in Nashville north a storm.
 
Looks like high-latitude blocking may try to flip our pattern in a couple weeks. Of course need the +PNA to help us out but still not too shabby of a look right now.

384 GFS classic west -NAO. Very nice Atlantic for sure.
 
How are the weeklies and JMA seasonal models looking for first half of December. Sniffing what the CFS has been past couple of days?
