<p>Recently, a colleague explained that the recent cold spell in the eastern United States could have been predicted using the Bering Sea Rule. The idea is that 17-21 days after a storm appears in the Bering Sea, a storm will appear in the United States. </p>

In it you can find our success of finding 2sd situations 70% of the time. Also, might I suggest looking at a website that has quite a few options like 500mb/surface map overlays along with verification situations.
