November is almost definitely going to be way above average. This winter will likely follow suit. Any snow outside the mountains will be thread the needle type deals per usual. Most of the foothills and western piedmont of NC are already in their longest snow drought in recorded history.

I think I’m going to go George Constanza and do the opposite this winter. In other words, I’m going to project no hope, and constantly reject any modeling that shows anything but AN temps.  So, I agree with your post,  November will be a torch.  December and January likewise.  There will be no snow south of the Mason Dixon line below 5,000’.

Probably right. With so many Climate Driver's lined up for warmth in the Eastern US , it has a shot of being one of if not The warmest Winter on Record particularly in the MA and SE.. maybe driest, God forbid

The 18z GFS is absolutely bonkers and involves the biggest North American ridge I can remember in November. Extremely unlikely to pan out that way given climo.

This isn’t your fathers climate anymore.

Absolute heinous torch pattern 

We had a little taste last week of some cooler weather. Had one morning at 32.
Going to be a while before it happens again.
