I feel like generally speaking there is less resistance to cutters in December, than later in the year.

Yes....that is empirically true. A number of reasons....cryospheric maturation up north, SSTs much colder in Feb than Dec, etc.

Pretty good NCEP summarization ...echoing the sensible voice(s) found in here -

Regarding the system tracking eastward from the Plains and then
redeveloping near the Mid-Atlantic/New England coast,
probabilistic winter weather guidance shows the best potential for
meaningful snow extending from the Midwest through parts of the
Ohio Valley and then from the interior Mid-Atlantic/central
Appalachians and across New England.  There is still some
uncertainty regarding the rain/snow transition zone.  Meanwhile
the potential complexity of the evolution aloft over the East
Coast further tempers confidence in specifics, especially given
how sensitive precipitation location/type/intensity will be to
important details that will likely take into the short range time
frame to resolve.
  There may be a small margin for error between a
significant snowfall and a modest one.  Farther south expect the
highest rainfall totals to extend from near the east-central
Plains/Mid-Mississippi Valley into North Carolina or vicinity.
Some of this activity may be moderate to heavy but its relatively
swift motion should keep rainfall totals from becoming too extreme

I remember there was hand wringing and consternation posts like today prior to the Morch 2013 storm .. and then most were buried in 20-28” 

That trepidation seemed fairly warranted in my opinion. Exotic fujiwara with marginal boundary layer is not exactly a layup. We knew the potential was there for a biggie, but it seemed there was a lot that could go wrong. It did for southern RI.
