Less than fun 6z GFS run. You can see where things are headed toward the end as the pac air floods in. Going back to sleep now and dream of better days.

Merry Christmas to all

that would avoid torchmas...that 989 low would keep us frosty. at least its fun to look at...

You see a 1052 high creeping in from the plains 5 days before Christmas and you think now that’s a step in the right direction…you’d think that

Merry Christmas to all

Boxing Day. That never fails

I don't think you are wrong its just pre-Christmas snow is too magical and mythical for most of us to even hope for. Rain and 55 sure...snow? nah. I'm in!

If that turns out to be the 2m departure from average map Ji will post it with “Merry Christmas one and all” caption..and I will promptly shit my own blinds

Thought that map was 2m temps for 25 December. Crisis averted.

Well not necessarily but….yeah that pretty much sums it up

Been a long time since we have seen anything other than transient cold shots. If they still had the channel 4 Bob Ryan golden snow shovel award I’d bet on December.

Thought that was 1888 pic. Good screensaver

I would think if you cut off the cross polar flow and rely on regular Canada cold source and without a decent snow pack to the north even a good pattern could yield marginal cold which we don’t do well with. Have heard many times here it’s a great pattern just not cold enough. That’s more painful than straight up warmth.

Fair enough. We need cold first. Let’s see what happens.

We do well NOT capitalizing on a cold pattern around here. We smoke a lot of cirrus.
