January 2026 OBS and Discussion

Cold front moving through later day. That sets up the colder half of the month after 9 days with above average temperatures. I wonder what the anomalies were like for NYC during this period. Had to have been around average of +10 for the past 9 days. Felt real toasty after a colder November through New Years regime

I honestly have lost all confidence in the GFS. Go with the EURO and CMC.

Yeah not even worth looking at the GFS other than entertainment purposes

It's tough to take any threat seriously if the Euro isn't onboard. Sunday always seemed like a longshot.

Euro is snowy and active in the mid to long range.

So I’m not getting the 3 feet of snow it was promising for late next week?

Jeez euro is brutally cold in the long range

That would be historic. Euro is probably overdoing it since it's very long range, but the cold for the week of the 26th is probably going to be more impressive than what we're going to see next week. And Tuesday the 20th it might struggle to get above 20. Very cold times ahead the next couple weeks. We're having a real winter this year. Hopefully we'll start seeing snowstorms again in late January. The snowy December gives us a good chance to have an above average snowfall season.

Low of 40, high of 45. 

Helluva way to run a cool down!
