I think you may need patience. Not trying to say it won't work out.....but I'm sort of saving any excitement to around that time and after. I admit 12/20 didn't work out and even last week when I was sort of getting concerned...it's possible my area may need to wait towards NY and beyond for anything more substantial. I still feel good heading to NY and beyond though.
I think 12-24 is probably our best shot in SNE. We cheer for that. I suppose gfs option is there, but I wonder if that sort of falls apart or refocused on a later date. At least 12/24 had ratio potential.
It's possible Christmas system is just a mess, or maybe more for CT and points SW? Almost like if 12/24 misses CT, 12/25 might work out etc. Either way...hopefully something widespread of an inch or more for many.
NAM sort of shows this (not sure if real), but I guess the weenie in me sort of hopes for that light erly flow at like 925-850 where it's still cold with cold N winds at the surface to keep the weenie flakes going.
