Fun little stat. How about near 100° swing in 19 days? Might be even warmer by the end of next week too. -

Huge warmup next week... But watch out that 2nd/3rd week in Feb. Teleconnections are hinting that some cooler air potential out there in the Midwest. A negative AO points to a weaker polar jet which can often break down and pay us a visit. Not 100% slam dunk though. -

Good use of the Snow Squall Warning by NWS. Textbook. -

Tis better to promise low early and build up than to promise a wallop early and have it bust. :) I think this one does have a better prospect for Blizzard warnings. Snow consistency helps a lot. We shall see. They're Watch product didn't say that word but did say 'significant blowing and...
