Extreme weather-pattern change may mean cold and stormy
mid-December in eastern U.S.

Record warm weather is forecast in the central United States, and the
unseasonably mild weather should spread east as November comes to a close and
December begins. But in roughly 10 days to two weeks, models are advertising a
radical change in the weather pattern that will put a big smile on the face of
those who enjoy cold and snowy weather in the eastern United States.

By around Dec. 8, weather systems in Alaska and Greenland may configure
themselves to allow frigid air to pour southward over eastern North America. And
with cold air in place, the potential for snow would markedly increase.
