eyewall Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Yeah we are going to start burning prime climo time soon enough. I never had a good feeling about this winter though. I said RDU would likely zero out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oconeexman Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Kind if scary to see no real changes in the next 2 weeks. Putting us mid january to see a real pattern change on models. Then it's always delayed a week or so. That puts us end of january. By then days are long..sun angle..blag blah Winter 2021 I guess? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’ll be good, we need to dry out and I don’t like snow anyway! It'll moderate......to about 67° in Elkins, WV. And that will be on the heels of 3 straight days of rain. Face it folks, we are now almost halfway into January with a LR forecast and no wholesale changes towards a more favorable pattern are in sight. The winter battle will be fought over 8 weeks from mid Jan to mid March and given how far off-base most of the forecasts have been thus far, I dont think anyone knows what the heck might happen for those 8 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The lack of any sustained cold in ANY model is much more concerning than lack of storms showing. No COLD = no CHANCE, even if a storm pops up. Just bleak right now. And it being north of 60 next few days aint helping my mood! I remember in the beginning December we were talking about "at least there's no torch showing." Well, no torch showing means it'll definitely torch. 67 in Elkins is INSANE. 60+ here, unfortunately, is becoming normal.... Hate to say it, but I'm about ready to stick a fork in this winter. February and March snows aren't all that good anyway. Sun angle really screws with them. Were in the prime climo and sun angle season right now and I BARELY see lows below freezing, lows!, for the next 10+ days... Buckle up, the sanitarium is going to be fun!

That’ll be good, we need to dry out and I don’t like snow anyway! What "dry cold"? The forecast for late next week/weekend shows 60s/40s with showers. TWC shows a cool down starting on the 6th but its only down to low 50s/mid 30s; still above average. Now we are to the point where a cold front doesn't even get us to average. I guess some of us need to face the reality that being able to expect a small snowfall or two each year is a thing of the past. Maybe once every other year or few years we can expect all the stars to align to get a couple of sloppy inches, but yearly snow may not be a reality anymore for many.
