When that finally is shoved south over us(before New Years, or January?) we're going to wish we still had that weird banana ridge and onshore flow.

Next 300 hours on the GFS. Does anyone know where the ridge is? Lol DANG IT! Let’s hope this changes soon.

Just a brutally cold Christmas up north. Forecast highs in the -50s later this week in the Yukon. Looks like that might spill west into Alaska too

At least the PNW weenies have some somewhat interesting weather to track. Aside from the one snowstorm at the beginning of the month, there's been basically nothing of interest here for entire fall and winter so far. About as bad as it gets, and no sign of improving yet.

I don’t see anything in the 10+ day window that would bring more than a splat to the lowlands, but there will still be a lot of cold air sitting around in BC at the end of the year. Would require un-cursing January but you never know.
