With December quickly coming to a disappointing end for many, it's time to move onto January and "peak" winter discussion.
12z gfs on 12/18 shows a vicious New Year's cutter to start the month, lots of 40's and 50's. We'll see if that holds.
I was somewhat excited for December, and it's been a good month for interior, but shit the bed locally and much of SNE. Snowfall-wise. Very fickle to forecast months in advance. Temp forecast on point though
