18z GFS bumped north for Saturday.

I got to chatting with one of city cops up there and asked about the winters. He said they got a fair amount of snow in the valley but that it was generally jacket weather.

It’s going to change about a hundred times before any event happens anyway so I wouldn’t worry too much about the fine details right now. December 2008 was looking pretty dry just a couple days before the start of it…Ended up being the complete opposite.

Agree. This is probably the best it can get in December temp wise for the Midwest now. But it’s no longer sustainable. Could be worse and be in Europe. They’re warming faster than anyone. I welcome warmups though. That usually means bigger storms. And that’s all I care about. I’d rather have a chance at a big dog than cold and dry hit or miss weak clipper patterns. Lake effect been dead around here. Too dry. Big cold front coming in tomorrow and no moisture with it.

Seriously? Southwest Washington stole our snow in January 2024. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. It's our turn!
