Yeah, the overnight models were not good for Christmas week. They seem to indicate next week's moderation will last more than a few days. Still a lot of super cold air in Canada just waiting to dump south.

Wouldn’t mind a little stretch of mild myself. Would love to be able to play some golf and get out with the grands.

After a slight moderation leading into Christmas weeek, the 06Z GFS drops the arctic hammer across the U.S.

18z GFS not far from something good next Sunday/Monday.

42/37 here. Needed to be about 5 degrees colder and DP in the 20s and we would have been in business.

He ain't lyin.

I think that is a good summary. I see the relaxation mid month also showing up on all the models. Kinda stinks as the wife and I will be in the moutains for our annual pre-Christmas trip the 14-18. Of course, this week's warmup never materialized so who knows what will happen in 2 weeks. One thing seems certain, there will some super cold air in the Northern Hemisphere. That's always the first thing I look for...

Well I don’t dislike him but I can’t say he makes me excited.

Nice to finally have a reason to watch December models. Been awhile.

Agree. Haven't had a chance to look at anything but the 12Z GFS today but the last few panels on the long range look pretty good to me.

Unless it’s playing the B1G. Hopefully we see a big midwestern OL steamroll that ridge in a couple of weeks.

It's always seemed to me looking at the extended that we would cool down briefly after Thankgiving and then warm back up the first week of December then potentially turn much colder by the second week of December. There are some good signals. We shall see...

Lots of cold air finally filling up Western Canada. Does not always mean it comes into the SE as we've seen the last few years but for any chance at BN, Canada has to be super cold. Hopefully that ridge can get tamped down and the trough axis moves east with time.

Felt like an Edmund Fitzgerald day driving home. Grey with a howling NE wind. Obviously nothing like the 978mb bomb that sank the Fitz with 86 mph winds and 30 foot seas. Played Gordon Lighfoot in honor of the 29 souls lost 50 years ago today.

Grey and blustery in West Lincoln. Temp 37 with wind chill of 20 and Virga storm on top of us for last hour.
