Maybe Superior, but the coldest air is initially west of the Great Lakes then, after a few days of extreme cold, a 'warm front' approaches from the north, lol.
The crazy thing is Hudson Bay is still about half open going into January.

The crazy thing is Hudson Bay is still about half open going into January.
Imo it's the concern you have to have in a cold enso year when you get these big blocking events but don't have the STJ to offset the overbearing cold and dry. That said the only real super suppressed run so far has been last nights euro even it was probably gearing up to make a run at something massive after the cold drop at the end. Just quickly going through the individual eps members from 0z there are multiple frames that have 985-1000mb lows scattered across the deep South, northern Gulf, and off of the SE coast
Total qpf.
Doesn't look impressive but it would likely have been an uncharacteristically high ratio event so that's probably a widespread .5-2/3 inch snow
Euro was trying its best to max out the 500mb scale. Also, it had some mid/upper -20’s down into the southern apps around Highland and Cashiers. -30+ degree 850’s into Tennessee. Wild run.

CAD regions could be getting an incoming.
Some of the definitives being said about this period are absolutely asinine when it is still this far out and there's this much (as expected) volatility.
Gfs about to cook on cold like the 0z euro as long as it doesn't try to drop west
I counted 30% of GEFS members at 6z with events that had WSW criteria

Pumping a big -NAO with a slow progression with the big Arctic front. S/W coming down the Rockies ….
CMC tries to cook some on the weekend timeframe

The CMC was about to be a big storm post 240
it would be impressive if we screwed this look up
CMC with two periods of light snow during the 1/3 to 1/6 window.
So much potential with such a large window. Energy is flying around everywhere.
Regardless of when, our chances of seeing flakes flying considering the pattern and number of chances are the highest they have been in a very long time IMO.
