Give it until tomorrow, but doesn't look great now....still optimistic about the pattern looking ahead. Should see the February PV split show up soon if not already.
I mentioned Dec 5-6, 1981 to Kev early today....requires a deeper dive but wonder I there is analog potential....ironically enough, the early SSW was very like that year.
The southern end of the vorticity runs out ahead a bit as it hits the coast, otherwise that is a blizzard. Who knows is that's real...it could be an artifact of modeling.
