Anyone comparing this to 2012 is obviously having a different pattern than Kentucky. It never crossed my mind until reading it on here. One day at 50F followed by a week of mid 30s is not a mild winter when the average is low 40s.

Ugh! I can already see that hole starting to open up in southeast Georgia. Not good...

This is what I want again!!

3 of these happened that winter all within 4 weeks time including clippers and a Norlun trough. It was the most exciting 1 month period I ever lived through. Looked like the Sub Arctic, not Sub Tropics.

Piles were getting to high to throw the snow over.

Saddest thing was, I was mowing the lawn 2 months after this. By mid February (2 weeks after this) we were hitting mid-upper 50s. March 18th mid 70s. . Major river flooding early March. Very green grass in April.

NWS forecasting a low of 45F, TWC/Wunderground forecasting 35F. Definitely one of the largest discrepancies I've seen.

A long duration cold spell is in the making

Of course Florida will have the only positive anomaly in the entire eastern U.S.

This year is no where near Dec 2011 or 2012. Both those years the month of Dec was 6F above avg in Philadelphia. This year right now we are 1F above average. Basically seasonable.

Let's hope it stays like that.
