GFS has a more westerly track across central Georgia with the upcoming storm on Sunday which would increase the severe risk for eastern Georgia and South Carolina.
Edit: This new track would also give LK/the Florida west coast a lot more rain. Perhaps almost 2 inches.
Looks like those might be monthly records for both locations, truly two different worlds... The distance is very large though, comparable to the distance from South Florida to Labrador. I wonder if we've ever had record or near record cold in Labrador and record or near record cold in south Florida.
The December record for Labrador City is -46.1C vs 35C at Royal Palm Ranger Station in the Everglades (I assume that's at/near the Royal Palm Visitor Center). Most of the rest of south Florida has December records around 31-32C.
Large swaths of the Canadian Prairies are snow free still, and they're generally beyond Chinook country. Even the Peace River Region in northern Alberta and BC. Western shores of Lake Superior from the Keweenaw Peninsula to Nipigon, ON, and northern shore of Lake Huron are unusually snow free too. Large sections of the Hudson's Bay are still ice free too - also atypical.
Thin or non-existent snow cover across much of Ontario the the Canadian Prairie according to this map too, including large swaths of NE Ontario and adjacent Quebec that would typically have a lot of snow by now.
Manchuria is at 52+ degrees North, Hainan is at 18 degrees North. Western Hemisphere equivalents would be Hudson Bay and Jamaica. European/African equivalents would be Northern Germany and Central Mali. China covers a lot of ground.
Of course the main issue with replicating that elsewhere would be that few places in the world do cold snaps like Northeast Eurasia does.
Trying to think if it could happen in the U.S., you can get 90s in winter in South Texas and interior Southern California, but it would have to perfectly align with a significant cold snap in the Alaskan North Slope (it doesn't get cold enough even in the Northern Plains or the interior Northwest). Not impossible, but not likely.
