The last decade has been colder overall than the 2000s and 1990s. You have to go back to the 1980s to find a colder decade. And absolutist predictions have happened since the 1950s. In the 70s, a new ice age was coming. In the late 90s the polar ice caps would be long gone by 2015. Turns out neithe...

No, a freeze of that extent may NOT happen again in your life. Already in the past 30 years, temps citywide have largely been struggling to dip below 20F. And things will only get milder overall as climate change continues. I'm not saying that there won't be cold snaps in the future, but I just can...

The associated low pressure looks focused on the Great Lakes. The impact may not be too heavy, at least for now.

Beaumont and heavy rainbombs - name a more appropriate duo.

That's a pretty light freeze.

What's interesting is that it was warmer in Maine this morning than places like Mobile and Panhandle Florida.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving! May this winter be overall hot and toasty, just like the turkey feast fresh from the oven!

Cpv17 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 7:04 pmThose amounts have gone up per the latest update.

I'd still believe in it when I see it.

^^^On the last NWS discussion I read, it was said that the dynamics of the coming storm might be too far north for the Houston area to get the true impact. Nevertheless, we'll see what comes up.

Wanting cold, and forecasting it are two very different things. I go off things like 1+2, SOI, GOA, PDO what a typical Niña Winter looks like given the current background state.... [snip] No problems man, it's all understood. I'm actually looking forward to some cold myself: 60s for highs and 40s f...

Kinda like how you beg for the cold, hmmm

^^^Fake news!

Looking like a pattern change is coming as November ends and December begins. PNA Ridge pops up to our NW and Southern stream storms may bring damp and chilly weather to the Lone Star State. Stay tuned... Seeing the same. The days after Thanksgiving leading up to the 7th show front after front and ...

Let's see if we can get a flawless, hot November with little/no rain. After that, let's see if such beautiful weather continues through winter!

you know things are extremely dull when there aren't any posts in here for 4 days....in mid November lol

Hot and humid with zero rain for the next week. Of course nobody is posting.

Except me! I'm liking this hot weather, we need this to continue all winter long.

December-February in Texas Tech!

It's true that previous La Nina's have brought wintry events. But by and large, they literally have to thread the needle - upper level support largely is north away from SE Texas during such winters. Even the subtropical jet would barely have an effect. So it's going to be pure wall-to-wall heat and...

Ptarmigan wrote: ↑Sun Nov 08, 2020 12:11 pmThe December 1989 freeze was on par with December 1983.

The closest would January 1886, February 1895, and February 1899.

I would not be surprised if we freezes like this in the future.

What makes you think that we will when the entire planet is heating up?

Same troll that’s been around a while It's a message approved by wxman57. ;) You don’t understand averages versus anomalous events. That was a 1 in 50 year type freeze. Not only will it happen again (probably in my life), taking the setup and strength of the cells, it’s not even a statistical anoma...

Nuh-uh, there are tons of differences. You just have to pick up on the nuances
