I wouldn't say uninspiring but rather predictable which is a good thing if you want snow later in the month. Many on here have consistently mentioned that December was a building block month for the upcoming winter pattern. So you definitely want to see some "boring" tendencies heading into early December as that most likely means that everything is going according to "plan". That is not to say that this upcoming cold shot isn't impressive or that there won't be chance of some wintery activity but for the most part I don't think anyone would be surprised if we got zilch for the next 2-3 weeks. In fact I find it rather exciting and interesting to see if we can bank in some "bonuses" especially heading into the second week of December. The STJ is just starting to wake and that will most certainly throw some curveballs in some model forecasts. Some many pieces of energy floating around, don't be surprised to see lows pop up out of nowhere. Another exciting thing to see is the consistency that the models have going into the time frame from Dec 21st to New Years. Now obviously consistency doesn't mean much in the modeling world, however when it aligns with the pros it definitely deserves attention. I think for the next 3 weeks we will see a little bit of everything, some cold shots, some warm pushes and everything in between. This is why we love the weather, because at the end of the day we get what we get and all we can do is appreciate its endless lessons. Btw I wouldn't count the 28th-29th system out just yet.. a little more interaction and things could get rather interesting....
