Bam bam is in panic mode citing the pV now is on the wrong side

Their whole cold thesis was based on it being in Canada, obviously our side. Good luck getting it back on our side any time soon, if at all. It can happen, but it's not something you want to rely on if your cold forecast is predicated on it.

WB 0Z EURO.  Looks like the mini thaw peaks on January 9.  Hopefully, we will have something to track by next weekend for the second half of January. (By the way, this is very consistent with what the extended EURO has shown for several weeks.  No can kicks here....).

I think until we get a decent snow event that comes to fruition there will be cliff jumpers any time there’s even the most slight projected warmup 

Why be a cliff jumper? There are warm ups every year. You'd be jumping every year as if you have nine lives.

They’ve been burned by the years where the warmups started and never ended.

Psychologically, we humans have an ingrained tendency to believe pessimism protects us from pain and disappointment. It doesn't, of course. So it goes here. Endlessly reflecting on our own and each others' psychological status, every season, every week, every day and hour. As much or more discussed than weather, fr. Quite a hobby innit?  Can't forget to add the obvious: most of us are also very ill when it comes to snow.
