I don't hate the GFS. Was never really in for a flush hit with next week's system. But i like how very cold air is lurking just to the N, so who knows what can happen with some timing tweaks.

Going into Dec, regardless what happens, this just has a different feel than recent years.

Would be nice to get 3"-5" regionwide then a dryslot. Then we get back into cold weather in a day or two. Just don't want it immediately melted off or washed away.

The pattern change is probably temporary is the takeaway. Why do you care if its milder the second half of December? It just doesnt snow much in these parts until after Xmas- that's reality. Let the pattern become favorable again when we actually have a chance.

I care very much if its milder in the 2nd half of December.

The advertised h5 look for the week leading up tp Xmas day on the latest Euro Weeklies. Surface temps as depicted are below avg, so perhaps not the dreaded Merry Torchmas.

Yeah that’s a chilly look. Flow is fast, though. +nao keeps things moving along, but that in combination with the -epo also “fixes” the PV on our side of the globe (as opposed to the other side)

If it was just a two-week "milder" spell, around normal +/- a few degrees, I wouldn't have a problem with it.  But since the -PDOom period started (by that I mean ~2018 or so) every single Pacific crappy period has been long-lasting and with major warm anomalies.  MAYBE this year is different with the EPO ridging tendency.  I guess we'll see soon enough.

If this is a general idea of what our base state will resemble this winter, that is not reflective of a Nina. I know we are neutral attm and I'm wondering *IF* enso switches to a weak Nina in January if we may escape the prime climo of winter without any drastic effects. Interesting (maybe not if you've been around as long as some of us) how much of a role enso plays....even minor pertubations.
