Now then...I hope you have something to keep yourself from fainting, because you will not believe what has occurred from the 0z Euro. Ready? Here's how its solution came out (try not to get too excited)...
We have a strong closed shortwave that enters southern California 72hrs. out from now. At 84, it is in central AZ while still closed and holding strong (Already well south of GFS). Later on before 90 hrs. out, a 1036 high develops and heads SE, spilling quite a bit of cold into the US while still being NE of the storm system. Our low is still quite south, spreading snows across the Plains and rainfall in Texas at 96hrs. This look still persists later at 102 hrs., so it's doing excellent at this point. Looking at hr. 108, the low has shifted even more south, which makes it enter Dallas and the high pressure continuing to slide SE while an inverted trough goes through MO. At this time, major ridging occurs in Western Canada, which helps amplify our shortwave. From 114-120, the surface low has traveled into central LA and is sitting in areas between Mobile, AL and Jackson, MS. Snow falls in N. GA and all of TN at 126 hrs. (phasing occurs in SE MS). Finally, the heights crash to the point where everyone that is north of the low is changing to all snow at 132 hrs. at 1008mb in the FL Panhandle. For the last bit of explanation, our system sits at 1000mb on the NC coast in Myrtle Beach, spreading snow back across the Carolinas, GA, VA, and even back towards E KY at 144hr.!
Okay. You can calm down now. How's that for a thought? If this verified, this would be the first time in several years that the CLT region, let alone most of the SE, has seen a true White Christmas! Unfortunately, since this is being shown 5 days out, it's liable to get lost assuming the odds are against us, but who knows? This year JUST MIGHT break it. We shall all see what happens in the end. Rain, ice, snow, or any mix of the three? Ma Nature will decide that fate. *Cues dramatic music*
