Hmmm... from this mornings AFD 

 

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

Longwave troughing will remain in place across eastern North America
through the long term period. Through the course of the week, the
core of this trough is expected to slowly drift southward as
individual shortwave disturbances rotate through the larger scale
trough. This will lead to a gradual cooling trend through the week,
with below normal temperatures expected for the middle to latter
portions of the week.

An initial shortwave will pass to our north on Tuesday into Tuesday
night, potentially sparking the development of some showers across
the area. Another more prominent shortwave may pass through on
either Thursday or Friday. This may lead to slightly greater chances
for precipitation. However, spread within both deterministic and
ensemble guidance is considerable, with solutions ranging from dry
conditions to a major storm with heavy precipitation. With the
cooler air moving in, the potential is there for some of the
precipitation (if it were to occur) to fall in the form of wintry
precipitation across the higher elevations along and west of the
Blue Ridge. We`ll continue to monitor trends with the late week
system as we move closer to the event.

The 6z GFS is sharper/digs the NS shortwave more as it drops in from north of the Lakes, thus a bit more precip/snow for the mountains this run.

That’s what I felt yesterday … just a little less progressive and there’s gonna be a storm. I think @Amped had a pretty good comparison with Oct 2011. 
 

God help us if the rest of the winter compares to that year.

384hr GFS ensembles show some trying to develop -WPO, but I think that is just the -QBO weight of -ENSO years bias(89, 05), Pac NW is cooling, and I think it's a big trend toward -PNA starting in medium/long range models. 

Started seeing the same yesterday. We will see if that continues. Seems possible in La Nina and the fact it has been a big player this fall.

Difference at 6 days between 12Z EPS and 12Z GEFS DC6AC161-497C-4E44-8BD7-43251ABCEFF7.thumb.png.116b2c7a7d85c9ce942db45d27c4c3df.png at 6 days pretty amazing….

the GEFS still have the tendency to follow the OP very very closely. It's not necessarily a problem of course when it's right, but slightly annoying given it can't be showing the full range of outcomes.

Chuck, what's your thoughts and answer on the Winter of 1950-51 ? Neg. PDO + La nina.

   I know a different Climate Era but, worth a discussion. Hlb clearly altered the typical La nina -PDO outcome as it did in mid 60's and 95-96 and 2010-11.

   I've not checked QBO Status from that year. 

I was thinking of this today, 48-57 had a lot of Neg -PNA at the same time in AMO cycle. It could be good, it seems we were coming out of La Nina to more +ENSO phase at that time.

Yeah. It is rather interesting to study that period and see what we can deduce on the difference in outcome in comparison to this era.

Looks like a possible relaxation of the PAC jet as we near mid month on the ens.  I guess time will tell if this actually holds as we get closer.  There is certainly a tendency for HLB of some sort and combined with a favorable PAC could lead to a window of opportunity as we close out Nov.  Obviously, a front loaded winter has been touted.
