This pattern looks to continue into January. 

I would question continuation. We need a reload at some point to have something last for months is fairly rare without some interludes (week or two) where we bring things back to a base state which is still La Nina after all.

I don't think it is that rare.  Look back to 2013-2014, 2014-2015.  Basically non stop colder than normal temps for the Great Lakes.  Same thing goes for the Western US, hence the megadrought.

I don't like to detract too much from the topic at hand.

Alright so what would be a rare event? Btw while 2014-15 was cold, it was by no means a stuck pattern like 2013-14 which in itself is a very rare event to occur with the RRR. 2009-10 was also another very rare event to have such a pronounced -NAO for a couple months.

Unfortunately the West is a situation where we have things like a drought ( a typical thing in any climate but hits harder in a desert), human-land impact and water cycle disruption, also seems to be more persistent (mentioned by quite a few mets I chat with) expansion/enhancement of the Hadley cell in summer time. It also seems it may be impacting winter patterns at times. These factors all seem to be happening at the same ish time. So we tend to get greater drought time periods lending to the megadrought situation.  So we may be in a situation of something like a constructive wave where things come together to amplify the pattern to a different level. Who knows, we know it isn't good yet we don't in many cases make larger changes to fix the issue and kick it down the road. Unfortunately there will be one day that most western areas will not be livable places due to lack of water. Yet millions keep moving there.  🤷‍♂️

When the atmosphere does something this extreme it might be telling us something. This winter could have major potential to be crazy

At the very least, there's a large scale pattern that favors big storms in the eastern CONUS. It feels like it's been a couple years since we've seen multiple strong systems developing lee of the Rockies in the same month.

You know what's going to happen. Just like with hurricanes. This Christmas thing is fizzling so everyone is going to just dismiss anything else that pops up. Come January, we are going to be buried with back to back to back big dogs and everyone is going to be standing around with their pants down. Stock up on stuff now people.

And then, in February, I will get the BIG ONE!

Perhaps it's fizzling for you ... It's good for the northern tier to have a deep snow pack

Moving forward...

MJO Phase 7 for La Nina, JAN

MJO Phase 8 for La Nina, JAN

From Paul Roundy Research which is more specific. Shows affects in 10 day increments.  Has a similar look.

 

Phase 7, JAN 1-10

Phase 8, JAN 1-10

Phase 7 & 8 very similar for JAN 1-10. As JAN moves along Phase 7 & 8 both become increasingly unfavorable. As we get to mid month you want Phase 1 or 2 if MJO is driving the pattern.

Super quiet in here.  While we all get our super cold christmas it looks to quickly go the other way heading towards new years 😞 .......if the Goofus is to be believed. 

GEFS and EPS 6-10 vs. 11-15. Talk about a snap back. Is it possible we had something so extreme the only reasonable recovery is to overshoot back? It doesn't feel like it works like that in weather but certainly there is a stink in the air. The cmc isn't quite as bad
