Oh wow, I thought I was the only one noticing all the lightning bugs out there year!

Joe Bastardi‏Verified account @BigJoeBastardi 2h2 hours ago The coming heat wave is likely to have few record highs but is still a big deal. Its just that the hysteria whipped up yesterday by GFS does not look to be the case Its backed off and much more like Euro ensembles

Ben Noll‏Verified account @BenNollWeather Winter 2018-19: the NMME has TRENDED colder across eastern North America for December 2018 This is likely a flow-on impact of the stronger EN-Modoki it indicates. The NMME has a warm bias, so examining trends is often more useful than the anomalies themselves.

Is this the return of the Big Wet?

No real heat in sight for Carolinas and Virginia.

Eric Webb‏ @webberweather May 22 After a possible brief hiatus from rain/storms late this week, a firehose of very deep, rich tropical moisture on the east side of #90L will be aimed at the SE US coast & Carolinas in time for Memorial Day and could remain entrenched thru the rest of May. Time to get a boat #ncwx

April

Allan Huffman‏ @RaleighWx 29m29 minutes ago April in 2017 was the warmest in 132 years in Raleigh. 2018 was 9 degrees colder and the 21st coldest in 132 years. Coldest since 1997 #ncwx

If we can contain sustained heat to June, July, and August, I am happy.

Lol. The funny thing is next Winter speculation will be high gear again just in a couple of months.

Really warm this midweek, but after that, not so much into mid May.

So, who was the closest to getting it right?

Has anyone done a post mortem of who/what did the best job with winter outlooks last autumn, and what were the lessons learned in making winter outlooks from this winter?
