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
 
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.
