The last 2 runs of the AI Euro shifted that cold air mass later in the week almost 800 miles to the west. It went from death ridge over us to legitimate chance at some backdoor action. Massive positive changes in the mid-range imo. Just look at the difference between the 18z and the 6z this morning: 18z: 6z:

.50 of water equivalent today. 9.17 on the month.

The ECMWF and EPS are just plain awful today. At least they show a lot of inversion days.

As we get into DEC, a clipper parade with a possible PAC Hybrid is not out of the question as we will be in LRC cycle #2 that featured several interesting systems for the Upper MW and GL's region. Let's see what the models do for the following weekend system. I'm seeing an uptick in the ensembles members off the 12z GEFS showing support for some snow. Hey, look at the bright side and the silver lining of the cold air post Thanksgiving, it'll allow the ground to freeze up and when the good snows come it'll have no prob from melting underneath. I hated having a good winter storm hit on warm grounds bc you can see the snow pack settle so much faster.
