Regardless of a Big Dog most models now show a swath of snow to be put down ahead of the Cold. Will be white this Christmas morning in a good part of this forum, me thinks.

A NOTABLE SIGNAL EXISTS IN THE OVERNIGHT GUIDANCE FOR A POTENT   
UPPER WAVE IN THE VICINITY ON OR ABOUT THURSDAY, ALTHOUGH OBVIOUS  
TIMING AND PHASING DIFFERENCES EXIST ACROSS THE GUIDANCE SUITE.

Literally just beat me to it. Realistically speaking don't know what more to ask for at this range.

looks like the trough out west is trending more west on the models.   The gfs is still digging and resulting in a coastal track while the canadian and icon are driving the ull much further north and sending one hell of an arctic front through.   We need a combination of the gfs and the gem.    Although I wouldn't mind an icon solution:devilsmiley:.   Thunder and driving rain changing immediately to heavy snow, wind, and flash freeze to single digits would be fun....even if it only lasts an hour.

It's the GFS, but today's 12Z run does have temperatures moderating toward the end of the month after the Christmas chill + whatever fun comes prior to it.

Some regular posters in this sub are fans of prolonged deep freeze...I am not one of them.

 

* Actually, looks like there is some sort of western trough/storm system involved with that...again GFS fantasy range.

But from where I sit, this has been a far from boring weatherwise start to winter, although the constant cloud cover is starting to get old.

Haven't had a chance to put out much in the way of thoughts regarding the final 1/3rd of December, but a quick glance at ENS guidance will tell you all you need to know...

We transition from current cold period, to a mix of cool/mild for next week, and likely into early January as well. If you're looking for a quality snow pattern, good luck...You'll need to bank on thread the needle opportunities, even into early January.

Id be very shocked if we get anything for at least 2 weeks maybe even longer.

January is going to be a torch month overall.

Will hope cold pattern reloads mid month for another window of wintry opportunity. Definitely this system another let down along with watching Illini basketball last night. One of the worst performances in 40 yrs of following them.
