Looks like the EPS is reloading after mid month. Maybe we get a moderation at that time but if true, may bode well for the holidays. 

I realize the following comment's likely to catapult me into the top ranked popularity seeding but ... winter sputters in January this year. Possibly early on too.  Canonical thaw struggles to reset and then its flower February

Good to know…we’ll see if that comes to fruition…or not?

Something that has been missing over the past several years are the alberta clippers but the GFS has some modeled going forward.

My favorite when there is a snowpack.  Refresher, brief heavy snow and wind and fresh cold

I know some people have canceled winter by mid January, I guess we’ll see. I’m not sure I agree with that yet.

Euro op has chances on 6th, 10th, 11th. Maybe we can cash in on one of those

EPS have them too. The 10th in particular looks interesting

I wouldn’t hate it. If we are just going to follow the same pattern as the last several years, an early warmup would be nice

EPS is def more aggressive than other guidance trying to get a few inches in here on Saturday. 

A potential bigger threat would be middle of next week around the 10th-11th....but that one is all over the place. 

 

Lets see if we can amplify that ridge a little more out west....because we have a nice -NAO and some low heights in SE Canada which bodes well for actually trying to hold a high in place.

-30-40 below?

I disagree with comparing this year to recent winters. The fall pattern has been different, it has been more seasonable to slightly BN rather than a torch, and has been stormier than last year. There are no guarantees in weather, but I feel a lot better about this upcoming winter than the past few years.
