December is a month we often see a lot of variability. The colder troughing setting up shop along the west coast doesn't usually occur until we get into the late winter wavelengths in February.

That's great and all but officials need to convey this to the public. I had literally no idea and no one else does either. Lake City is still without power. Thank god my immediate block is on the periphery.

Fine with that, waste the early December cold on them and give us the good stuff on Christmas!

Should give us a good cold pool, low level cold and east wind.

What a great way to visualize the ensemble spread.
