That week is looking like a January thaw on some ensembles. Cold pours in next week then rebounds as quick as it showed up. I hope you are correct tho in your call. I wouldn't be popping champagne bottle yet tho based on some of the telleconnections during that period. Last 5 days of Jan into Feb looks prime.
We r teetering on an avocado look there. We dont want the entire pattern overwhelmed with a displaced frigid PV. Though the is an upside.....if that happens and we go frigid/dry (like my ex) we have a good shot once the pattern relaxes, so there's that.
LR look blech. Cutters then cold/dry. Longwave pattern doesn't look horrible but we've seen our share of good LR longwave stuff over the past few years that never produced, so color me skeptical. Savor any flakes today like this is it for a while.
I'm in Telford at work. Light snow 31F. Driving back to Warminster at 7 should be fun. Looking at radar there is an axis of heavier convective stuff in N montco and N Bucks in hill country. Those areas will hang on alot longer to frozen imho.
