Yeah it seems Siberia and China has experienced some extreme winters in recent years.

Agree. I’m beginning to think the Tarheels have a better chance at hiring Bill Belichick than we do of seeing a class Miller A snowstorm.

At least we have something to watch and discuss this year instead of our favorite brand of rye grass.

I’m hoping for 2 Christmas miracles on the 21st. A pre Christmas snow and we beat Texas. At this point, unsure which is more improbable.

Last 2 runs of Euro have hinted at a storm around the 21st. Would like to see another pre Christmas snow.

Monday January 11 we had a low of 4 at GSP. By lunch time on Tuesday it was snowing. On Thursday had a second gulf system dumping more snow. Missed school nearly a month.

December 81 was a part of a ENSO neutral winter as we transitioned back to Nino in fall of 82. It was a December of wild swings with a nice little winter storm on the 21st. Reminds me a lot of this December so far. Then in Janaury the arctic hounds were released. Brutal cold and back to back Gulf winter storms. Warmed up after mid Janaury and eseentially winter was over.

I volunteered to put a trampoline together for the grandkids on Christmas Eve. I’m sure we will see record cold that night.

I’ve seen some good analogs too.

Would seem there is a lot of sea surface and atmospheric variance leading to wild swings in the pattern for the next couple of months...

Would be awesome to see a snowy ACC championship game even if we’re not in it.

Big overperformer in my area from last night's rains. Didn't check before I left but guessing we got over a half inch if not more. Lots of standing water heading into work.

Pattern is certainly more interesting to close the month. Could we see some snow in NYC for the parade?

Now that's the kind of Hazard Map from the CPC that I like to see (11/22-11/28)
