You love to see it 

from @griteater

Was just about to post this. I saw someone in here speaking about the fabled long range torch that just hasn't materialized thus far. My Co-Op station (RSTM2) has recorded 3 60+ degree days this December, which is less than previous years.

Yeah I know but there can be too much of a good thing there.  Torch them too much and there is nothing there to displace, at least nothing helpful to us 

That has to happen in order to get anomalous cold into the lowlands of the midlatitudes, in particular places that are moderated by proximity to oceans.

I think NYE is likely too early by 3-6 days for any real chance. Jan 3-6 is the window to keep an eye on IMO. 

Yeah I think the NYE storm (if there is one) will likely be a cutter that brings about the cold air closer in. The second or third wave after that are the ones we'd have a chance with

I’ll take my chances with that, gotta have cold to have snow

Same. That wintry week in January - we only got a total of 0.4-0.6 qpf but we had about 7-11" of snow depending on where you were in the region. That translates to only 1.6-2.4" for the month, which is drier than normal.

We're generally much better at precip than cold.  DCA averages over 8 inches of precip in the winter...if we had the temps on our side, we might actually get bored of snow lol.

GFS and GFS ensembles got better on 1st week of January pattern today, increasing the -EPO signal

This is LR GFS, but it's what models are showing right now, with big ridges pinching north. I would definitely take my chances with this in early Jan. Let's see if it stays consistent or changes in the next few days.
