Arctic Hounds Unleashed: Long Duration Late January Cold Snap

[WxWatcher007]

I know that we have several threads going now, and mods, if this doesn't work I won't be offended if you take it down, but we have multiple blasts of Arctic air that will produce a long duration cold snap for much of the U.S., including New England. The first burst is happening as I write in advance of our major winter storm, and models continue to show a significant period post storm of frigid lows and very cold daytime highs. 

Looking specifically at CT, while we have certainly been colder, some of the ensemble progs put us in territory of some of our longer below freezing cold snaps. I think the Tuesday through Thursday right after the departure of our storm may over perform with possible radiational cooling and a fresh snowpack. 

I am not saying the numbers below will verify exactly, but I wanted to break this out from the January tracking thread and winter storm thread because I think the anomalous cold is the foundation for the wx we're seeing in the coming week or so and worthy of dedicated discussion. 

Let loose the Arctic hounds.
