One year ago around this time people were getting excited for the pattern flip that was coming in early December, all kinds of threats, from clippers to a MECS. Even though we got the pattern flip and turned cold the snow held off until late in the month so you just never know. Maybe this year will be the reverse, crappy pattern but just cold enough to get a few snow events to track

Depends on the time of year. To me yesterday felt like a torch, when you can go outside in a short sleeve shirt in november, its a torch. But it was basically a one day thing as Saturday was cool and today is sorta cool

What exactly defines a torch? 5 degrees above normal, 10? 15? 20?, because I hear that word being thrown around so often that you guys should create a thread just for the use of the word "torch".

La Nina years can have some great periods of winrty weather like 1995-96...Some two good weeks like 1974-75...Some less than great winters had a 15 day period that had at least 10" of snowfall and averaged 32 degrees or lower...

When I think of torch, I think of summer-like weather. 65F isn't really a torch but I guess relative to the calendar, it kind of is. I agree about yesterday, it was very mild and well above normal.

I wonder if people were calling for another ice age that year. Would be almost as extreme as canceling winter on Nov 21.

I'm not canceling, just questioning the front loaded winter calls of alot of mets...if we don't get the cold early, then maybe Mid-Jan to March rocks? Who knows. I think most are ready to toss in the towel on the 1st 1/3 of winter (Which includes the cold Dec call made by many.)
