Ensembles (both GEFS and EPS) have a pretty nice pattern by the end of their runs with at most a short period of AOA normal.  Time will tell.

the sooner the better, i'm over cold/snow after like 12/25-1/1.. If it's not a MECS or better blizzard i'm checked out

0z gfs has a nice 7-10 day run, but beyond that the -NAO gone and it's much more seasonable, if not AN

I like your hint of optimism. The modeled longwave trof position and angle look very favorable for almost 10 days. Wave after wave diving from the Pac NW into the central US... just need one or two to find a gap and amplify. I think it's the kind of "pattern" that you'd want in December to try to string a few together and build a pack. Odds are usually against us, but I don't hate the look.

Yeah it's not a bad look at all for the early-winter crew.  Obviously NNE has been spoiled this year and it really looks to continue, and that's a good sign.

good snow growth now, only around 1 mi. vis. though.  maybe 1/4" since changing over 

quickly 100% snow

50/50 r-s mix chelmsford.

nice little ice storm.going. take 

Light zr in chelmsford.

Mix in Chelmsford, rain 2 mi east at home

mix line punching north, almost here.  

1.75"  at 1:50pm, off to work.  

Snowing pretty good and the ground is nearly.covered.

Man, I'd kill to verify that GFS.

Is the "backlash" or wrap-around snow one of the fraud 5?   if we stay too warm and it's a rainer, that's the last hope

18z was 1-2", 0z is roughly 5-10".  fun

Basically what I feared when making this thread. Most of SNE shut out with nothing imminent to track until 12/6 at best

Epstein mentioned the non-frozen ground as a factor for roads in his podcast this morning (just for the marginal areas). 

Yeah that is going to be a factor with a marginal airmass on the cp

Looks like crap here. Awt

A large area of light snow across the north... with a narrow zone of heavy snow near the gradient.  That feels like the right outcome.  It's crazy that gradient remains in question and will have such a big effect on sensible impacts.

yeah I agree, probably not far from the truth.  I'd feel better with a closed ml low traveling over the south coast, but this whole thing looks like a mess - which lends me to believe ml's will act accodingly, including precip shield- with more warming than some of these isothermal to 128 depictions we saw.

ggem is warm, too. 0c h85 is north of here

Steady south trend

it's more reasonable looking , though probably a bit too amped
