i have found that long range patterns are often like long range snowstorms...they are seen from afar...they dissapear in the mid range and then all of the sudden...they revert back to what was shown. MJO will be in COD phase 7 by the time Feb rolls around. The last 10 days of January arent ideal MJO wise but pattern will be fairly cold and a chance for snow. Hang in there man! February has been the month everyone is waiting for
