December 2021 Cold Wave?

The +EPO is refusing to go away, the cold wave may never happen . . . :(

Like I mentioned, dont get excited when you see cold weather forecast because in this pattern, it's very transitory. If it happens. Just hope for one cold shot or possibly two at some point

The Models have severely underestimated the +EPO, there was models hinting a cold wave in long range but the ++EPO would not let it even happen, don't count out the end of December yet.

Second half of December had always looked better than the first to me.

The month never looked that cold.

Many of us winter enthusiasts don't care whether December was forecasted a certain way.  We just want December to be, you know, wintry...like it should be. The outcome is all that matters.

The lack of snowfall and snow cover east of the Mississippi up to this point in the season is shocking...and it looks to only get worse over the next couple of weeks.  Looking at ensemble progs, it's even possible that there will be close to zero snow cover in the entire Lower 48 east of the Mississippi on the winter solstice...when it's supposed to be deep winter.  It's unacceptable and frustrating beyond belief.

The +EPO is not letting the snow try to fall east of the Mississippi, I've seen this case before, December 1990 is a strong analog.

Wait until the 2nd half of the month. ;)

I understand the frustration, but the winter solstice is not deep winter...its near the onset of the season.

The thing is this not the only December its been like this. Last December was like this too. Also the year before that one as well.

This is the 2nd run in a row from the GFS to feature this at around Christmas Week

Been a trend this year to have a fairly strong PV that is elongated onto our side of the globe. Not a pretty pattern,  but it can get it done...kind if like the Pats' win tonight.
