While I initially thought a SSW would favour the east for cold given the strong El Niño, based on the 500mb pattern shown on some of the models, there is definitely potential for the PNW to get in on the cold. Now if we can pull off a major SSW/PV split, then I think there is a good chance any cold we do get could lock in for a while. But it's still way too early to get excited. But maybe just maybe January will deliver this winter? We can dream.
