I don't know about the EPS, but the weeklies are awful the second week of December. Has a gulf of Alaska low. My limited knowledge tells me though once that feature is established its stubborn as the SER. I hope it doesn't pan out.
Sad thing is most of the se has had a memorable winter regardless of what happens next. But as usual and epic dumpster fire for CAE. This place can't buy a flake of snow anymore so I welcome the warm pattern. The results end up the same anyway.
99% of the time it's cold and dry or warm and wet. Can't defeat climatology around here. Just proof that cold patterns don't give any better chance than any other pattern. Especially here in CAE. It's all just damn luck when something comes together down here for me.
