Temperatures are going to be in the 60′s and 70′s to start off December, and apparently it’s the end of the world. I don’t like it, I don’t want it to happen, but I’d rather it now than in January. Things are supposed to get more active in Mid-December, but if that’s not true and this winter is another dud, I will be PISSED.
Ok, so everyone is freaking out…

The sun will rise on december 22nd and 23rd buddy. But i do believe very strongly that an astroid will hit the earth between 2020-2036 somewhere in there a good sized astroid will hit and wipe out alot of plant/animal/human life. I say this cause ya know when u have one of them guy feelings that dont go away and it ends up really happen? Well this is one of these moments. Now me on a personal level im not affraid of death. if thats how i go then i wanna be at ground zero of impact. Now my kid and many others are scared of death and they shouldnt be. And i allso believe this winter wont be a dud but i do think it will be slow taking off for certain parts of the united states.

Nope, no winter for Colorado, the more time goes by, the longer this heat wave and subsequent drought lasts, here is my forecast for this winter…
Northeast: An overall average winter for snowfall, slightly below normal temperatures, slightly above normal precip.
Mid Atlantic: Slightly above normal snowfall, above normal precip, below normal temps.
Midwest-Great Lakes: Overall average precip, slightly above average in the lakes, below normal snow for much of the Midwest, except for the far upper Midwest, where above normal snow may be observed, normal snowfall to slightly above normal snow in the immediate lakes, below normal temperatures just about everywhere.
Southeast: Overall average temperatures, slightly below normal in the northern half of the Bible belt, near to slightly above normal precipitation, near to slightly below normal snowfall, but watch for a pretty vigorous ice storm or two, especially north Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and western South Carolina.
Plains: very cold north, below normal temps, overall near to slightly below normal temps eastern part of the Central Plains, warmer than average in Texas, possibly very warm south, above normal snow possible in North Dakota, otherwise overall below average precipitation and snowfall expected, and especially dry over heavily drought-stricken areas.
Northern Rockies: cooler than average in Montana, warmer than normal eleswhere, near to slightly above normal snow in Montana, below to much below normal precip/ snowfall in most other places with the exception of the mountains in northwestern Wyoming, where near to slightly above normal snowfall is anticipated.
Central, Southern Rockies: This will not be the place to be this winter, with below to much below normal snowfall for the mountains of Colorado, many ski resorts will be having to rely solely on making snow, and will be in bad shape this winter. Little to no snow at all for the Front Range, including Denver and all surrounding areas, particularly extremely parched southeast Colorado. drought will intensify harshly in eastern Colorado and all of New Mexico, where any precipitation at all will be hard to come by, and the hottest temperatures in the entire nation will likely continue as a result, combined with much above normal frequency of strong downsloping wind events will lead to absolutely historic fire danger, much above normal to record high temperatures may be observed this winter, with very little hope of any other outcome.
Northwest: Above normal precip likely in this region, as an unusually active storm track will likely continue, many big snow events for the mountains, and below normal temperatures will likely lead to one or two decent snow events in Seattle and the Puget Sound area/ Kitsap Peninsula.
Southwest, near to below normal precip and near normal temps in most of California, except north, where above normal precip and below normal temps should be observed.
As for the remainder of the southwest, warmer than normal temps and much below normal to very little precip will be observed, especially around the Four Corners area, where the mountains of Arizona may not see much of any snow at all, leading to intensification of drought there.
World is not going to end this year, even if we were to entertain every made-up theory they’ve all been disproven over and over again.
world won’t end december 21 but mankind will believe it in 2013 bc 2012 was bone dry summer which replace with big tornadoes in 2013 are pattern is going to really change after christmas make feel like doomsday more so in 2013 not december 21.
Okay, now I’m mad… it’s going to get into the 70′s today (AGAIN!) and tomorrow it’s supposed to be 76, about 25 degrees above average. Not a freeze in sight. Colder weather will pop up at the end of the week in TWC’s 10 Day Forecast… but I’ve noticed every day that the cold is in the last day of the week, so the cold keeps getting pushed back. Of course… of course. At this rate, November will be colder than December. I’m starting to believe the cold will never get here. If Mother Nature dosen’t make dosen’t make this winter colder than last winter (which still wouldn’t be cold enough), I will hunt her down. Btw, I was just kidding about the end of the world thing.
Same here.I don’t think winter exists in South Carolina anymore.Hardly any true winter here since the 90s.
People, please stop freaking out! It is December 2. We still have a whole winter (3-4 months) ahead of us. Just because it’s 70 degrees now doesn’t mean it’ll be warm for the entire winter; it just means it’s a warm period now and it could get colder or stay warm. It’s just a warm spell.
Well its true about down here.Last deacde we had any true long lasting winters was the 70s-80s.
