Some people enjoy the dry, windy, cold but if there's no threat of snow, it's just a waste to me. I'm more interested to see what happens after this upcoming pattern because it does not appear one that's conducive for snow.
Operational runs are starting to show the relaxation period being extended and the trough being centered too far NE. Cold temperatures have backed off some too.
Ensembles showed cold coming all last season in the long range while the ops showed the Ridge hanging out. We all know which one won. Hopefully we actually see a true winter pattern for the first time since January 2022.
