Couple days of cad and then we go Oregon mode until at least January 

Hot start will be a distant memory

Sat snow seems more north on runs today but guessing that will shift south like today's clipper did

I’m not saying that it will happen, but there is a way for the weekend clipper to end up north, even with the current clipper ending up well south.

It seems it would only take a little adjustment in that upcoming pattern for it to actually be interesting around here. A little less western trough and a little less SE ridge would make it interesting here. There will be a lot of cold just north and west of here and probably ample gulf moisture heading up this way too.

Hoping it doesn't follow baroclinic zone put down by today's snow and more so the incoming temp gradient with the arctic front. ILX seems to think it will follow snow swath of today's system and be more south. Models right now disagree. But obviously could change.
