Pattern December to Remember

Eps looked similar to the gefs with overall lower heights across much of the US through D10 but the SER comes back around d9/10 but a little more muted. The big change is more Aleutian/east Asian ridging past D10 with more troughing in AK into the PNW. Not sure if there's enough there to really amp the ridge and push the ridge into AK and really unleash the cold into the conus US in about 20 days
 
This seems like a legit chance to score before the pattern warms up quite a bit … all we need is a chance ??
Man it’s just 5 gefs ensembles with not much other support, and a couple EPS members, there’s not a legit chance right now just noise of 1 ensemble run for each suite, a legit chance is something consistent and under hour 180, the pattern at H5 isn’t even great in the pacific yet. this is how you set yourself up for disappointment, sure those GEFS members were nice to look at, but we see that every winter

Trend is our friend buddy that’s all I’m saying ?

And even they weren't that great

This is expected due to the expected very warm first 3 weeks. But recent runs of this crappy model do show cooling just in time for holidays perhaps MJO induced:

Then there’s a transition between cold airmasses:

And then the first half of January looks pretty good right now fwiw (which isn’t much of course):
