I agree. Not a huge fan of Weather.us so far.
Weather.us is a bitch to post pictures directly from the site, but it has far more detailed regions and information than TropicalTidbits. They're a nice complement.

Accumulated snow/sleet through 240 hours. Tropical Tidbits doesn't go out any further.

In that GFS run Baton Rouge stays below 40 degrees from 6p Friday the 22nd until noon Friday the 29th
ETA: That ice storm it shows for GA, SC, and NC on the 25th - 26th would be completely disastrous. 2-3" of (liquid equivalent) freezing rain and sleet

Atlanta does so well in ice storms. Back when I was in school in the early 80's Tech guys would sell coffee to the people stuck on the connector in traffic

Yeah sure people help each other, but the city shuts down and traffic somehow worsens tenfold

0z GFS doesn't bring frozen stuff down this way. Does drop one hell of a cold snap across the center of the country though. An absolute mess of ice for North Texas and a blizzard for Kansas and west Missouri.
Just a lot of wait and see until the Euro and others starts coming into range for us to compare.

Shat Pingleton scoffs at those frivolous computer models.

Much shorter range. I want to say 60 hours.
Canadian and Euro will be getting into range soon. Then we'll have a better idea of the "what" that'll be in play.

'm not convinced the cold air will be deep enough to support snow. If we get anything out of this, it will be the god awful freezing rain. That means it's time to start hurricane preps, guys. Except don't bother with the window unit AC's and instead gather firewood this time. Gonna be a whole lot of trees coming down causing power outages for a few days if we get more than a quarter inch of ice, which if the models are close to being correct, that's quite possible.
This locked me in more than any doom N gloom prediction from a Hurricane. I will spend this weekend gathering firewood, running generators and buying milk and bread
And beer and whiskey

Well as of this morning, it appears the GFS is remaining consistent with being inconsistent. Now it's showing warm, muggy, and rainy conditions from Christmas Eve through the 27th or 28th.
Windshield wiper effect in full force with the GFS. Back and forth...

Two things.
1) It is the GFS. It was always highly suspect, even more so than most models despite the crazy consistency.
2) Models often lose things in the mid range, so GFS might be getting to that point where it loses it and then can bring it back as we get closer.
Remember, this is all highly dependent on a major pattern set up that comes together. If the GFS has been wrong then the cold doesn't come or the precip doesn't follow or both. Or, it could be jumping the gun and the pattern changes later and this all gets pushed back.
I still think the pesky SE ridge will show up.
ETA: The 6z has the high as 76 on Christmas here in Baton Rouge.
