Misc Winter Whamby 2020, a New Decade

As a frequent observer and major fan of this site I’ll add my opinion. To preface first and foremost I love snow as much as anyone on this site, borderline obsessed. Especially with the chase, which we do in the southeast most winters and for some most of our lives, only to usually be disappointed. I know how frustrating it is to await and be either elated or disturbed by each model run. However, for those of us btw the Upstate of SC and Charlotte we have two great historical patterns on our side. We saw some cold temps in Nov&Dec but no snow. That is a great thing for snow lovers in our area historically speaking. We have a better chance of seeing heavier and more frequent snow events Jan-Mar in this region after a warm and relatively parched Nov&Dec.
Lastly, I’m old enough to mention folk lore, old wive’s tales, aching bones, etc. Having a Met degree, even sometimes I rely on a few of these more than science. That said, last night when thunder awoke me several times in Charlotte first thought was Game On. Not necessarily next week for Charlotte Metro, but Winter has just begun my friends.
I’m about to stock the cabinet with Bourbon and look forward to the pattern change. It will, just hopefully in mby and yours too. Keep up the good work you overly zealous snow cravers, I LOVE your passion!!
 
And we are back to a cold west, warm east on the EPS. Those temps below aren’t to bad, slightly above seasonal is a win. Currently Raleigh is +12F for the month.

This winter is a lost cause, Kylo. STJ is too active. Maritime waters are too warm. TPV won’t cooperate. I think 2020 is cooked
 
I hate the GFS

I honestly didn’t think this winter could be worse than last winter, but it’s got a dang strong chance. I at least had some flakes and a dusting back in mid November of 2018, but I haven’t seen a single flake this winter.
I haven't seen a flake in two years so winter for me has been beyond worse since 2017 imby
