Seems to be fitting nicely with what's been outlined.

Hugely above normal thru end of november followed by a period of more seasonable december temps/weather sometime in the first 5 to 7 days of the month.

Yeah, there's no guarantees it hangs around. I love the look of the 12z Euro today. Cold dump into the conus.

Euro continues the trend and now we have solid guiance in all corners for an EPO shift. First step...the EPO, 2nd step, weenies aglow, 3rd step, we get AO, 4th step, we hohoho, 5th step, PNA, 6th step, cold's here to stay, 6th step we get some snow, naked angels look out below, 7th step we sing with glee......it looks like '93.....step by step....

lol thats great

12z GFS and Euro ensembles pretty similar in flipping the EPO/PNA for a period of time next Wednesday-Sunday at least. That certainly teleconnects to seasonably chilly weather by next weekend... maybe even 1-2 days of below normal weather if things break right.

Lack of upstream blocking probably keeps and BN weather transient.

Euro seems to have a bit of a warm bias lately in the east.

This seems to be the case..I've been doing a little study where I save the 10 day OP 850 map and then compare it to the actual verification 10 days later. Almost every time our 850's have been considerably colder in reality but this only applies to the East, the Plains appear to have the opposite bias.

I never understood all of the winter cancel crap.....if we grab an event between now and Dec 15, great, but its not crucial.

Yeah for the last 2-3 weeks I've been posting that if we're going to have an awful looking pattern let it be in November and early December. Much better this time of year.

While the best, the EC has a warmer bias more than the other models in the mid-latitudes. GFS does not have a cold bias in the extended range anymore...it has a slight warm bias...at least for the 20N-80N sector of the globe.
