Ending out December with a Potential Pattern Change

Yes...that's a risk in La Nina gradients...you lose the cross polar flow for a time, southern Canada torched during that episode and that doesn't look likely in this pattern. It should be pretty damned cold in S Canada. The analog pattern was more 2nd half of Jan 2008. 

Interesting...I thought Ninas were known for their cross-polar flow and cold air in Canada. Was the SE ridge overpowering for the first half of that month? I like the look here of that potential around New Year's Eve. A bit too progressive for my liking but this is a pretty good overrunning look:

Beggars can't be choosers.. We've had a sour mix of long duration, light intensity snowfalls and slop... I'd love blocking but at this rate fast movers and a gradient pattern is better than a SE Ridge!

 No way I don't do well in this pattern, and probably not Boston, either.

In fact, I'd argue that this pattern maybe better suited for the cp during the early part of January, than a typical el Nino regime.

I really wish we could have seen this pattern set in a couple of weeks ago, as was orginally anticipated to be the case.

This type of regime represents the composite for our snowiest Decembers.

It's weird to see this. Definitely be careful. :lol:

Sometimes the wait makes it even better... After this grinchy funny business flipping into a winter blast would be a ton of fun.

Shades of last winter's pattern towards the middle of the run? Got to think we can produce at some point with a look like this.

That look is starting to get into "crush everything south" territory in a real fast flow heading due east off the coast. Retro that westward a bit and it's on. Definitely chilly though.
