I'm surprised at the number of people giving up and selling (ie "not invested"). Canada continues to look cold the next 5-6 weeks. Threading the needle has moved from a sewing needle to a knitting needle. Sure, it's gonna be AN at times with the SE ridge, but, at the same time, there could easily be a couple of moderate to strong storms that develop between the cold air to our north, the ridge to the south, and the +3 to +5C SST's in the Atlantic near us. That ridge isn't going to be maxing at all times throughout Feb, and the despite the some of the maps shown recently, the ensembles show the southeast and the mid-atlantic warming the most, not us.
Given our luck, it could all go to shit, but, if you want to see a little more snow this season south of the pike, there's definitely some hope. Can't call the rat just yet...
