I have to apologize, I stated it was the CMC. It is actually the CFS. Word of caution to deniers of the CFS, it actually has performed well this winter thus far, for a long range model. The other models have come into alignment with it closer to the time of events.

Ain’t winter yet::ke:

Smart man.

My capabilities start and end with being able to link the map.

There is no analytical insight to be offered!

GFS has been bouncing around some winter solutions past few days runs in the Dec. 23r thru 25th range, EURO not so impressed still not inside 7 days so not much to dive into at moment we shall see how it goes

BUT... GFS 18z run today I'm sharing for pure entertainment cause it's nothing but hearsay this far out but boy it would be mother of all ice storms i guess is you wanted a 1800s christmas this would be for you... you know no power etc

Christmas time talk is starting to hop on Twitter. The GFS is advertising some interesting runs. Also, long range models showing dumps of cold air piling South Eastward despite the NWS saying we are to warm up.

The SE Ridge that was modeled to be so strong during the next two weeks has been shoved really far south. The snow we had last weekend and the SE warm ridge not coming back as far north as first thought has things cooler and will allow more air to drop NE.

Also of note, there is blocking that is forcing the cold south that was originally thought not to be available.

What does all this mean? If the cold hangs around like I am beginning to think it will and low pressure systems are tapping gulf moisture... well... it could get interesting sometime during that time frame.

I don't get lost in the details of long range models. Moisture, depth of cold... all those things will change 1000 times between now and then. What I do pay attention to is if the GFS, EURO, CFS, JMA start advertising cold and possible storminess.

Right now, some of them are advertising just that, some are not as impressive.

Looking even closer there is a threat a week from Friday before we even think about Christmas snow.

The pattern looks stormy and cold going forward. I would suggest Fire Wood, alternative light and heat sources. Start thinking about it now. I am not saying its going to happen, what I am saying is when everyone else realizes its going to happen, preparing is too late.
