Ostrich December

The end of the CMC run brings in the Siberian cold.

Now that’s the type of cold high I’m talking about!

If this LaNina performs like 1998-99, this month into very early Jan may be our best window for a big system. Most likely ice.
I can only speak for the Charlotte area, but late December and early January were not the only times we saw winter weather in the ‘98-‘99 winter. We had the Christmas Eve Ice Storm that ended with some light snow on Christmas morning, another Ice/Sleet storm right after the new year, then in February we had a ULL that brought several inches of thunder snow, another light snowfall a few days later, and then another snowfall in mid-March
 
Well that cold front sure brought gusts with it last night! What a squall line. There were scattered power outages a few miles north of here from that weather. At least we're back down to more December like weather, at 46 this morning.
 
Still focusing on big picture down the road going into January prime time. Decent look on GEFS. Can't see EPS, but -AO still looks solid, perhaps an east based -NAO. Vortex seems to be dropping out of AK region and replaced with ridging.

Not bad, but hoping it doesn't set up with the trough in the west.
