If this progression occurred at Day 7-10 and not 13-16 maybe we would be getting somewhere as the main trough shifts back towards Siberia and ridge as well axis is west of ~140 W. The pattern has to flip at some point. This won't continue all winter.

NOAA:
The evolution of Days 4-7 will be dependent on how the next few days
play out, especially since these systems will likely see large
amounts of latent heat release and convective influence from the
southern CONUS. Eventually the baroclinic zone will depart in favor
of a surge of colder air from Canada to start the New Year which
would bring temperatures back toward normal (low 30s) and introduce
snow chances once again to the forecast.
That's true. FWIW, my temps by the end of next week struggle to get outta the teens for highs w fog developing in the pm hours LOL. Never saw a forecast like that. Go figure!! Yesterday it had snow likely for next Friday w highs near 14F. Totally different today. Yo-yo forecasting each day.
It rained a little this morning, but a steady rain developing later this afternoon and continuing throughout the nite. Temps will be rising into the 50s. Very mild weather lasts right until early next week b4 the big change in colder temps. Snow chances increase as well.
