Actually surprised there is that much blue. What's hilarious though is the fact that in all that red a good bit of our source region is slightly cool, while Siberia is roasting. The opposite of what has killed us this winter.
So I think it may be time to compile a list of acceptable euphemisms for AGW for use in the main threads. The two I have so far are
"THAT"
"The elephant"
Let's say there is a hypothetical poster who lives in NC but who hangs out here because of the superior analysis. If this Southern slider should verify as sown by the GFS, would that poster be in danger of being run out of the forum?
Asking for a friend.
Can you clarify what "deep" means in this context? Do you mean that the air mass isn't that cold? Or that the cold is only shallow to the surface? Both? Neither?
I wouldn't worry to much about it. Last year, amidst the simultaneous raging ++++AO with Pacific Doom Blob, the GFS somehow managed to spit out snowstorm for Jacksonville, Florida. It was gone the next run, and needless to say, it didn't happen.
December was just plain average here in most of NC. But that's actually a huge win compared to the last five years and also how things were looking in many of the seasonal forecasts in the fall.
