Morning thoughts… Today will be sunny but very cold. High temperatures will likely reach upper teens and lower 20s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 21° Newark: 23° Philadelphia: 25° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 39.4°; 15-Year: 40.2° Newark: 30-Year: 39.9°; 15-Year: 41.0° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 41.2°; 15-Year: 42.1° After a cold start, tomorrow will turn milder. Another shot of very cold air will move into the region late this week.

Quick video from around 12:40 am:

It will be bitterly cold tomorrow. Temperatures will likely rise no higher than the upper teens and lower 20s as the core of the Arctic air mass moves through the region. Even Washington, DC's record-smashing 1,072 day streak without a temperature in the teens could come to an end tomorrow or Wednesday morning. Wednesday will be less harsh as the mercury again returns to the 30s in much of the region. The subtropical jet could begin to become more active near mid-month. That could create additional opportunities for storminess. January commenced with an AO-/PNA- pattern. That typically favors somewhat cooler than normal readings in the East. For NYC, the January 1-10, 1991-2020 mean temperature for such cases was 33.5° (normal: 34.8°). This time around, the average will be warmer, but the transition toward colder weather has occurred. By mid-month, New York City's temperature anomaly will very likely be below normal. Based on the latest guidance, it appears that the colder pattern that is now in place could last 3-4 weeks until late in the month. The PNA has just gone positive and is likely to remain positive through January 20. A positive PNA is associated with more frequent snowfalls in the Middle Atlantic region. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.9°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.1°C for the week centered around January 5. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.32°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -1.05°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through meteorological winter. The SOI was -24.11 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.059. On January 8 the MJO was in Phase 7 at an amplitude of 2.032 (RMM). The January 7-adjusted amplitude was 2.047 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 75% probability that New York City will have a colder than normal January (1991-2020 normal). January will likely finish with a mean temperature near 31.8° (1.9° below normal).

Morning thoughts… In the wake of the Arctic front’s passage, temperatures are falling. It will be partly sunny, windy, and cold today. High temperatures will likely reach upper 20s and lower 30s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 28° Newark: 31° Philadelphia: 32° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 39.5°; 15-Year: 40.3° Newark: 30-Year: 39.9°; 15-Year: 41.1° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 41.3°; 15-Year: 42.2° Tomorrow will be the coldest day this winter so far. Temperatures will rise no higher than the upper teens and lower 20s.

Arctic air will move into the region starting late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will see the temperature remain nearly steady during the daytime before falling. Readings will likely top out in the upper 20s and perhaps lower 30s throughout much of the region. A bitterly cold day will follow on Tuesday. Temperatures will remain near or below 20° throughout the day as the core of the Arctic air mass moves through the region. Even Washington, DC's record-smashing 1,071 day streak without a temperature in the teens could come to an end. Wednesday will be less harsh as the mercury again returns to the 30s. The subtropical jet could begin to become more active near mid-month. That could create additional opportunities for storminess. January commenced with an AO-/PNA- pattern. That typically favors somewhat cooler than normal readings in the East. For NYC, the January 1-10, 1991-2020 mean temperature for such cases was 33.5° (normal: 34.8°). This time around, the average will be warmer, but the transition toward colder weather has occurred. By mid-month, New York City's temperature anomaly will likely be below normal. Based on the latest guidance, it appears that the colder pattern that is now in place could last 3-4 weeks. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.0°C for the week centered around December 29. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.33°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.98°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through meteorological winter. The SOI was -27.74 today. That was the lowest value since June 20, 2020 when the SOI was -33.95. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.148. MJO information was not available. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 68% probability that New York City will have a colder than normal January (1991-2020 normal). January will likely finish with a mean temperature near 32.0° (1.7° below normal).

Morning thoughts… It will be mostly cloudy and milder today. Some light rain is possible, with some freezing rain occurring north and west of New York City and Newark. High temperatures will likely reach upper 30s and lower 40s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 40° Newark: 41° Philadelphia: 44° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 39.5°; 15-Year: 40.5° Newark: 30-Year: 40.0°; 15-Year: 41.2° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 41.4°; 15-Year: 42.3° Arctic air will begin moving toward the region tomorrow. Tuesday will be the coldest day this winter so far.

Things are warmer now (1991-2020 base).

Some freezing rain is possible tomorrow before temperatures become briefly milder. An even stronger cold shot is likely early next week with temperatures remaining near or below 20° throughout the day on Tuesday. Even Washington, DC's record-smashing 1,070 day streak without a temperature in the teens could come to an end. The subtropical jet could begin to become more active near mid-month. That could create additional opportunities for storminess. January commenced with an AO-/PNA- pattern. That typically favors somewhat cooler than normal readings in the East.

January will likely finish with a mean temperature near 32.0° (1.7° below normal).

I’m sorry to read this. You have my fullest condolences.

Big snowstorm for Days 11-12.

Morning thoughts… It will be mostly sunny and cold today. High temperatures will likely reach mainly the lower 30s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 30° Newark: 32° Philadelphia: 32° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 39.6°; 15-Year: 40.6° Newark: 30-Year: 40.1°; 15-Year: 41.3° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 41.5°; 15-Year: 42.3° Some light rain and ice is possible tomorrow. An Arctic shot lies ahead for early next week.

No. Those are the Canadian ensembles.

My photos from January 2009 were not during sunset.

No. The 2-day total was 6.8”. The 2-day ratio was 75.6:1.

I have two pictures here, but camera resolution was nowhere near it is today, so the photos didn't fully capture the depth of the pinkish hue. https://wintercenter.homestead.com/photojan2004j.html

Yes. I believe that was the storm with the pink hue.

The moderate-to-significant snowfall today was, in part, due to high snow-liquid ratios. Ratios included: New York City-NYC: 15:1 Islip: 17:1 Philadelphia: 17:1 Newark: 19:1 Bridgeport: 20:1 New York City-JFK: 20:1 New York City-LGA: 29:1 In the wake of today's snowfall, tomorrow will be mostly sunny, blustery and cold. The mercury will likely rise no higher than the lower or perhaps middle 30s. Some freezing rain is possible on Sunday. An even stronger cold shot is likely early next week. January commenced with an AO-/PNA- pattern. That typically favors somewhat cooler than normal readings in the East. For NYC, the January 1-10, 1991-2020 mean temperature for such cases was 33.5° (normal: 34.8°). This time around, the average will be warmer, but the transition toward colder weather has occurred. By mid-month, New York City's temperature anomaly will likely be below normal. Arctic air could will likely reach the Middle Atlantic region early next week. Based on the latest guidance, it appears that the colder pattern that is now in place could last 3-4 weeks. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.0°C for the week centered around December 29. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.33°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.98°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through meteorological winter. The SOI was +8.67 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was not available today. On January 5 the MJO data was not available. The January 4-adjusted amplitude was 1.861 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 66% probability that New York City will have a colder than normal January (1991-2020 normal). January will likely finish with a mean temperature near 32.0° (1.7° below normal).

Looking through the guidance, it seems that last night's 0z HREF was really the first model to come out with the kind of totals that we actually saw. It was a pleasant surprise.
