18z GFS shows how we walk the line with a less than ideal Pacific. Verbatim overrunning snow to rain for the 17/18th then more potential around Christmas.
Just saying that each winter has a unique personality. Some winters nothing breaks right. Others throw a bone here and there. Then the real good ones break just right in every pattern/with every storm.
Total weenie comment, but if this breaks right for most, then I think we know what this winter’s personality will be like. Starting to feel pretty good.
