GEFS unconvincingly has a dartboard cluster of lows across the SE wrt the Jan 15 thing, fwiw. I suppose it's 'something'.

Nah, the sane ones heeded the advice to take a week off during the thaw. The other 33 of us just enjoy self-inflicted torture.

@ravensrule are you seeing the same?

If we can touch 60F, we ride.

You cancelled winter. You dont get a storm.

CPF...but too much -EPO. Always something.

Its always something, thats how we roll. If it ain't a sloppy phase then its a GL lp, or a kicker, or some rogue shortwave diving out of Nunavut that mucks things up. But seriously, one of these will eventually work out. Expect the worst, hope for the best. Expectations in check, patience, and all those other caveats apply.

Happy Anniversary! Yes on feb 2010, but I was just going back to 2012.

This region needs to be like the Upper Plains. Why cant we get a jump like this under 5 days out in 1 run?

The 90s really had some historic stuff...perfect storm, march 93, winter 94, blizzard 96, Floyd. I feel like aside from 2016 jan storm what have we really had the past 12 years besides a renegade tornado or 2? Can probably go back to Sandy 2012? I know im drawing a blank and something super obvious but seriously, if im not recalling it then it wasnt memorable like those 90s events. Or im just old as dirt and my memory is shot

Here's the wx charts for that day fwiw:

When we get the Nino and active stj the NS will go dormant and cold air will stay bottled up. Cmon, you know how we roll.

Just your run-of-the-mill 0 degrees with wind chills of -31 and -12 dp

Enjoying the day and vegging out to old Weather Channel clips and zoning off to the old local on the 8s music. That management group doesn't know if they just brought that segment back with that smooth jazz style music what a goldmine they would have. Anyway, this 1994 clip popped up. What a brutal and cold winter that was:

Unclear what implications, if any, this might have, but the SPV is going to get squeezed again shortly. One would think that will help get the coldest air to propagate farther South wrt latitude after mid Jan.
