3 to 4 inches would be heavenly !

Thats fine with me. I read previous times where Decembers that featured a mostly -PNA have a following Jan with a overall + PNA. Hope that repeats next month, along with some timed moisture. Even a little snow would be nice.

Merry Warm up. Need to go back in time to get even a normal winter. I miss you Nor'easters and SECS/ MECS .

Given the proper set up it could have been a SECS, but alas the Pac did not allow it. At that time we did have a - AO and a -NAO. But the PNA was upgly.

Happens every year around the 22 nd of December like clockwork. Not surprising really, although we have a stout - WPO there is too much Pac jet momentum. The Pac always rules as seen the past two weeks with a - AO and a - NAO and still nothing to show for it. I don't really care what folks say about climo as we had extreme cold air in Canada and a - AO and a - NAO, but in December you need a good PAC and a + PNA . We lost out because of the PNA.

Euro seasonal is warm generally in the January to March period.

He rebranded!

GEFS also trending to a better, taller + PNA, hope it happens !

General odds of a moderate accumulating snow, at least should increase, the next 15 to 25 days with the - SOI dive and a re-set of the MJO.

Snow started here an hour ago. Nontreated surfaces have a coating currently. Looks winter-like. 27 F.

Rather dramatic drop in the AO forecast during the past 24 hours.

Update Dec 1

One slight bright spot is the AO is finally starting to drop, but the PNA sucks.

This has been an ongoing issue for many years it seems. Believe even @bluewave posted on this a while back. And, its even more of an issue down in these parts. Need a locked in slowly moving high not racing due East.

Mount Holly for my area late week. Brrr Thursday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 19. Friday Partly sunny, with a high near 33. Friday Night A chance of snow. Cloudy, with a low around 26. Chance of precipitation is 50%.
