There are some hints that the central CONUS could torch for a time in early December...it doesn't look warm in NE, but it wouldn't shock me to see a reload period where west of us is torching for a few days and we see temps here creep up...albeit not like the plains. Canada remains quite cold, so we'd just be waiting to pop a bit of a ridge out west.

I did get the sense of that relxation and then reloading too. You can see how the EC tries to pop a weak ridge in western Canada and then at the very end of the run, the Aleutian ridge tries to build again.

Probably the tropical forcing trying to make its presence felt. The EC/EC ensmebles are bringing the MJO into phase 2 for early December which will want to build an Aleutian low and pop a huge ridge out west on the typical composite...however, that would have to fight what is already in place there so I'm sure we will be seeing some very high spread on the ensembles past Dec 1st.

Yeah agreed. We may see some back and forth in the 11-15day over the next week. That zonal PAC flow may be an issue for a time, but if we can get the -NAO to not be east based, it at least tries to create a gradient pattern for us.

On a side note, the 06z GFS tries to get a little inv trough action Saturday.

One heckuva a 0z suite. Walked the dog last night...frost über alles as it is right now. Heading to Princeton, NJ shortly for my annual dinner with HM. We're returning Friday evening with an arctic front arriving 12 hours later. Best start to winter in many years. OP euro resembles 12/5-7/03 fwiw. My infamous stuck at DFW storm.

Haha I almost missed this...we are in for a great winter man, especially you guys.

we've definitely had the cold this Nov...last's year's dry and warm month--I just had that feeling we were fooked.

What's cool about this year is how winter-like this November feels and how signals were actually conflicting for December. Last year, we knew December was going to torch and the 2 years before we knew they would be cold.

Scooter you feeling good about winter pattern from 25 th onwards now?

I never felt bad at all about it specifically. I said to watch what happens in the beginning of December because not all signs were wintry. They still aren't completely as Will and I have discussed, but as time goes by...you can see a possible reload due to perhaps the MJO signal heading past the first week of the month. It's very rare to flip the pattern at the beginning of the month and then to keep it that way until 4/1. I could see some sort of relaxation possible which is what I meant, before any flip back.

anyone looking for balls to the walls cold from now to 4/1 is surely going to be disappointed....in all the great winters, there's always periods of warmth and rain mixed in...however, memories fade and folks just remember it as an all around good winter....even 10-11 was really only a 4-5 week stretch of greatness around 8 weeks of meh...

95-96 also had almost a full month of torch and rainstorms in Jan after the blizzard on the 5-6th....

Yea Jan thaw should be on schedule. Seriously, a climo normal winter with a good March will feel like heaven after last years disaster.

Wasnt a full month of torch. NYC saw 20.2" from the blizzard of 1996 and finished January with 26" total.
