Ostrich December

I have a hard time seeing this being a Miller A only because the wave axis is over the NE. However, as @SD said, get the two waves to separate, and that NE wave could translate into a 50/50 low.
Yeah I mean in a perfect would you could try to sneak a true southern slider in here but it would require near perfect wave timing. If the trailing energy detaches and slows it puts some of the region in the game since we can try to build the cold in but with a lack of a tall western ridge and potential kickers behind the trailing wave we would likely go the miller B route. But this still D7/8/9 so who knows
 
PNA - Looks to dive (from strongly + now) to slightly negative in about 10 days (bad). Then go slightly positive at the end of the runs (good??).
NAO - Looks to stay slightly negative through the entire runs (good??)
AO - Looks to stay moderately of even strongly negative (averaged) through the entire runs (good).

Maybe if we can keep that negative AO around it will help us keep us from getting blowtorch warmth when the pattern shifts, and perhaps it will help to pull out of that pattern a little quicker. I know one of the big issues the last couple years has been just highly a positive AO we were seeing... often at record levels
 
During the downtime’s after today’s event , can y’all help me track this storm for me over this coming weekend? It’s been snow, rain, now looks snowier on 12z GFS! Maybe someone can post the good euro maps later today? Thanks in advance and I’m serious! D722CC44-215F-4163-A950-BB47844FE99D.png
 
No wonder we are struggling to get cold air



Yep, this is more than just a normal warm variation. Unfortunately, for cold preferrers like myself, this kind of thing may become more and more common in the future with the Arctic, itself, so much warmer than normal most of the time. But we’ll survive lol. For instance, we’re still having a nice chilly first third of Dec thanks to a solid +PNA even with a much warmer than normal Canada. For example, way down to 26 F at Hogtown and 27F near here at Hunter last week. It can still get plenty cold.
