Good afternoon, gang. We know about the cold on the way later this week into next week, but what about later in the month into December? I took a peek at the GFS Ensemble analog composite for the upcoming pattern.
Check out the years that match…
1976/77 shows up three times on the list and that was a legendary winter. 2002/03 is on there twice and was a cold and snowy winter. 1959/60 featured blockbuster snows in February. 1989 gave us the coldest December ever with 2000 not too far behind. 1962/63 was just flat out a brutal winter.
If we put all the years together, here’s how November looked…
And December…
That is a ton of cold showing up should the pattern continue along the same lines as the analog years.
Another update comes your way this evening. Take care.

Brrrrrrr..
Very cool info-thanks Chris.
I’ve been hearing so many Mets calling for an Arctic Outbreak sometime next week. Looking at the pattern, it’s a real possibility especially with the recurving typhoon Nuri!
This is from a met in Minneapolis, with highs getting into the 20s and teens north for this outbreak in Minnesota. http://blogs.mprnews.org/updraft/2014/11/super-typhoon-nuri-may-trigger-us-arctic-ourbreak/
Very interesting read!
You’re depressing me Chris. After last winter I need a break lol a 5 month break from snow wasnt enough lol
When I moved from Florida, my husband promised me it wasn’t bad here lol. He eats that promise every time I make him shovel!
The winter of 1976-77 was before I was born, but it even snowed in Miami that season, as well as in Orlando and Tampa.
I’m baffledI knew sometime sooner or later we were going to get something bad the summer was crap for swimming now are going to have to dig out what’s next
