Jerry is the only one cleaning up on the 25-26th. Chicago's last 3" snow was in Feb last year, and its last 6" snow was in April 2018. Nice timing there.
Some people call Earth the "Goldilocks planet." It's not too hot (like Venus), and not too cold (like Mars), it's just right! And no amount of climate change is going to alter that fact. We humans can adapt.
Other than a small sliver of BN temps in the NW in Feb, they have no BN temps anywhere for the 3 month period. Just don't agree with that. That block isn't going to last that long. I'm sure Judah Cohen won't buy that prediction, lol. At least he gives us reasoning behind his analysis - this guy tells us nothing of how they came to this conclusion.
A true blocking pattern would make it easier to get sustained cold air masses into the E US. That cold air mass has been lacking this winter. We haven't even had a 1-2 day fleeting arctic air mass here this winter. I don't think Boston has been below 25F since December 1.
If 4 weeks ago we had on the ground what we did then, this forum would have looked a lot different this past month. Bare ground for an extended period can do that to you.
But the Euro trend is good over the past 24 hours. Yesterday at 12z it took it to Bermuda. Then last night it moved it north about 250 mi, and today another 200 mi N. So we might still get another smaller move north at 0z.
Given the way this winter has gone, no one should be surprised if a norlun dropped a foot in places, lol. That may be the only way we can get some decent snow.
I was only talking about this period that you referenced ORH being +7F, just out of curiosity, and to indicate that weatherwise, not climatewise, things usually even out around the globe (northern hemisphere anyway).
