Things are running in reverse this year.

we already have them in-ground.

Without protection. There’s a guy in Cincinnati with needles and sabal minors unprotected for last several winters. Our climate will be more like Cincinnati in 30 years. Especially around the immediate shore.- 1

No I said our climate will be able to support in ground palm trees in 30 years. Not warming 30 degrees.

Exactly.
Lmao. Let’s circle back in 45 days. -
Rapidly increasing sun angle?
You’re not a serious hobbyist or poster.
The sun angle rapidly increases in February. That’s science.- 1

Will finally have something up tomorrow, but a few key points...
-The pattern is changing, and significantly at that.
-It is very clearly not going to be as significantly/consistently as mild as it has been.
-There will be a steady/consistent flow of waves/disturbances moving into the Western US, and then across the country.
-The chances for wintry storm potential are not amazing, but definitely an improvement compared to much of the past 1-2 months.
-A SSWE is most definitely going to occur, with the effects TBD in the weeks after it occurs.
-The MJO will make a 1-2 week pass through colder phases.
-The raging Pacific jet is likely to break down to some degree.
Hey man I appreciate your input but I disagree. January is cooked for the most part. MJO actually looks to move into the warmer phases pretty quickly based on January trends. Also the SSWE will dump the cold other side of the pole.
The other thing is pattern persistence which has been a common thing since the summer. If I was a betting man I would bet on the same generalized thing continuing.
Maybe better luck in February? Who knows though how much can be salvaged as we will have minuscule frost depths and a rapidly rising sun angle.

Lol at all the people that can’t handle reality and want to stick their heads in the sand while they beat their chests screaming into an echo chamber with like hiveminders.
Sorry I have opposite views and can see what’s happening for what it is. And accept that. Midwest is warming. Faster than ever and I’m going to point out that truth.
This place isn’t the Borg. You guys don’t control the narrative.- 1

The irony of someone who has palms in an area that only stays frost free for 5 months of the year using the word "delusional".
Frost free season is way closer to 6 months than 5.

Lol. But it's definitely good to see that the flushing out of the anamolous warmth shortly after christmas has not been "can kicked" down the road.
lol, you're delusional if you think the warmth is being kicked out.

I think late January into February will be colder but probably not snowier. In a nino year, this is prime time for southern sliders. I would think March would be our opportunity to get a substantial snow.March is gonna be way above normal. Nina springs are cold, not nino.

Latest GFS breaks up cloud cover on Christmas Eve from 18z-00z, max temp 57, dews low 50s and modestly light winds. Could be a beautiful afternoon if all the cards fall into place.
Stoked.

Ehh…El Nino Decembers are notoriously torchy. Also, historically, going back to the 1940’s December temperature departures are considerably above normal. December is the new November. Winter is January through March. This year we may have to wait till February.
.Coping is a hard drug to get off, eh?

I don't think anyone had forecasted this month finishing with near +15 departures for any region, yet that appears likely to be the case for the far northern tier of the CONUS. Also, Christmas this year looks to feature temps running 20 degrees or more above average for a large section of the country that happens to include much of this subforum, so "mild" is a bit of an understatement.
Yep this is a full blown torch that no one saw coming to this extend. Remember Brian said it would be cold later this month. Only the beginning would be mild.

For sure. Never adding any actual substance or weather discussion, just trolling away & spouting nonsense since he lives in a 4 seasons humid continental climate rather than the tropical one he never will.
How’s the snow and cold coming this year? Asking for a friend.- 2

Dude! I'm sure you're a good guy but this is how I picture you......Annoying the piss out of everyone.
Nah I’m just not in denial that we are transitioning to winters more typical of England.- 1

Tick tock, tick tock. Palms are more likely to survive than snowbanks this year.

Not sure how long you've lived in Chicago, however, you don't need unseasonable cold in midwinter to get snow. Threading the needle is more for atrocious pattern's like the one we are in now.
Get temps much above normal and it's a rainer.

Given the location of the SW, the main/core of the cold will be on the other side of the NH.

Selective breeding? Send me one, I’ll plant it in my in-laws backyard, they are about a mile north of the 45th parallel.
They are in 4 inch pots and I will only be bringing into greenhouse on nights below 5-10 or 96 consecutive hours below freezing. And I’m gonna see if any make it.
But yes selective breeding to weed out the weak and see if there’s any strength in numbers.- 2

Not even close to trolling. Every indicator is showing a warm pattern continuing that I can see and rather than discuss it people want to call names and dismiss. I’m here to discuss the weather. Sorry it’s warm.
