Obviously, we want to see if this is an outlier run vs. static/trend. The other model shifts would suggest a new static or hopefully start of a trend.
Assuming static, does this mean a colder rain with a late turnover for SNE? At least that might allow a persistent ground cover.
So, as I remind myself to once again, NEVER, EVER, EVER get sucked into the idea of ice, I'm moving this January thread from the ash-heap in case other weenies aren't too deflated to continue looking to the future.
