Pattern December - Deal or No Deal?

FV3 is interesting. Starts out as snow in NC CAD Zone. Then transitions to an ice storm in N.C. immediate CAD areas. Improvement for sure.

Yeah, FV3 is horrible and a cutter that turns in to some Miller B transfer. Toss.

So far today, good EURO, great Canadian, good GEFS. On to the afternoon euro. Hope to see EURO correct even further south to match GEFS and its own ensembles.
 
I found an old post from Larry on December SN/IP. See below.
ATL over the last hundred years has averaged only 0.3" of SN/IP in Dec (0.1" 1st half and 0.2" 2nd half). That is only ~15% of its average seasonal total of ~2". Only 18 of the last 100 ATL Decembers have had measurable SN/IP.
Thanks for that, GS! I was thinking more about zr. I have a feeling with warm fighting cold in early winter season that zr might be the more likely frozen precip in early Dec. Probably a mute point as the super cad seems to have returned to myth anyway, lol. But if I was betting on a big storm before Xmas I'd bet on z rain from a cad. Now super cad is another thing. T
 
You can tell the 12z GEFS is a good run. You can see the northern stream tapping in, cold SFC temps. are below freezing in NC. It will propably be colder across northern Georgia/eastern GA, upstate SC/midlands. Much like the 12z CMC with the placement of frozen precip.
