Down to freezing, nice! Looks like you're already on the board for something measurable (although I know you only measure if it's more than like 4" or something...)
When it was more of a Black Friday threat, we had more time to get a cold airmass in place. Now it’s only like 24-36 hours behind the weak cold front next Tuesday.
Euro takes a really nice track actually. One that would be nearly perfect for snow in another few weeks. Just doesn’t have enough cold air to work with.
It’s quite possible. Not going to have a ridge from Baja to Siberia all winter. Hopefully we get western ridging to reload throughout the winter. But I’d bet my lunch we get some torch periods.
