Looks warm...trough in the GOA, those can be very stubborn to dislodge. We are kind of following what happened last winter...couple of cold shots in December, first 10 days of January was cold, big east coast storm. Then all out torch from mid-Jan through spring. Last winter from mid Jan to March 1st I think our high was in the 70's half those days.
Compare the GEFS 5 day extended mean with what we saw last winter from mid-Jan on....not good if you want cold anytime soon. Well anytime after Sunday.
