Isopycnic Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 WxSouth It's going to be a cold day, temps won't get out of the 40's Birmingham-Atlanta-Charlotte-Raleigh-Richmond. If you've noticed, your locals probably dropped their forecast highs today from several days ago , about 10 degrees. Next up will be a developing wave on a front that brings rain to Southeast, but could** be snow in eastern Kentucky, West Va, northern VA including DC, and Maryland to the Northeast by Tuesday into Wednesday.

tonysc Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 No i just think its funny how all want to bash jb. I dont think he is right all of the time at all. However doesnt matter if he is right all bash him. He is a forecaster just like you and others. Many busted last year including Robert. I dont see any bashing him. I like to listen to all forecasters but i do give credit where credit is due. Admit it or not jb is one if the best at recognizing patterns. Some like him so i post some of his thoughts. I dont care who is right as long as i get wintry weather . Anyway happy Thanksgiving to you and your family I agree with you totally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWERSTROKE Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Spoke to Robert last night. He said Pacific starting to show change and that is the key for sustained cold. Likes what he is seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I dreamed of Robert this morning and he said to me in my dream: "This mornings low of 21° in Shelby almost beat the lowest temperature recorded at any point last Winter. Only January 4 and February 12 had a lower temperature last Winter." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Is jb still calling for a cold december and a fab feb? He's busy with that NE storm in a few days but as far as patterns, he's big on the Korean model...mid Dec trough for eastern seaboard and then he's going back to his earlier years with the 50% snowcover by Christmas (based on the Korean, if it's right). He hasn't officially made the 50% snowcover forecast as far as I know but he mentioned he wouldn't be surprised. So yeah, he hasn't given up hope, yet.

Bevo Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I see some are moving the goal posts now. Not surprising as we saw it all winter last year. Up to this point - seasonally - what has been abnormal? I've been at or just below normal (temp wise) for half the year (including the summer). I'm still somewhat perplexed as to why we all expect December to be cold in the first place. For the SE, meteorological winter months verses when it actually feels like winter aren't usually on the same page. If we're having this discussion in January, then I'll be tying the rope around both of us and jumping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I was never a fan of the December talk. Ill take my chances in January and don't mind punting most of december. That said some were touting December as rivaling the 09-10 winter which sure doesn't look very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply is not statistically/historically a cold month. I do like the fact that I've been on the lower end of the temperature balance for the last six months. I'll take that going into January any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now the ensembles and the weeklies as well as the CFS looks good for mid Dec on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheelwx Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'd much rather have a 3 week stretch of cold/stormy weather starting 12/15 rather than 12/1. If I could make it up, that's the way I'd want it since it would coincide with the holidays. TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
