Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally feel the probability of above normal climo snowfall is heightened from Jan 25 th to Feb 10 th. Time will tell.
Yes, we have gone to Easterlies twice so far . Two days ago, as psu stated, we were a a record negative for the date . Yesterday was close I believe by 1
Recovery questionable

The GEFS 35-day shows the point of uncertainty (abrupt spread growth) in the 10 hPa evolution around Jan 25-30. Some members continue to recover the vortex toward average, while others decelerate or even go for another U reversal. I think this is a point to keep eyes on!

This goes along with the above post regarding the GFS NH polar vortex ellipse profile animation .
Judah's animation matches the animation form stratobserve.com
Lastly, another huge change from what was forecasted the last 14 days . Movement towards Northern NA versus Siberia. This starts near hour 240 and speeding up from there.

Another significant change in the long range , a rather broad vortex in a N S elongated fashion is predicted versus what was forecasted a few days ago as a solidified , more organized tighter vortex, mostly over Eurasia.
As psu used this image in a previous post, but wanted to point out this is an improvement from a couple days ago.
Basically the - NAM states not deteriorating .
