Things are lining up folks. There's a clear trend in our favor:

Afternoon EPS tries for legit Alaskan ridge and health cross polar flow with retrograding -NAO into the western domain as we move through most of January. Doesn't look like any sustain garbage pattern or warmup, quite the opposite in fact.

If @ORH_wxmanand @psuhoffmanare intrigued, that's good enough for me.

Incredible temp difference on the Allegheny Front this evening. Mesonet has 50° at Bittinger, but 31° in Frostburg.

Philly was a sheet of ice. We got off from school for like 3 or 4 days.

Grew up in Roxborough near Cook Wissahickon. Went to school in Manayunk.

Philly fire running a decent number of calls in Andorra/Ivy Ridge/Roxborough it seems.

Radar really lighting up over central and western PA. Looks like an icy night ahead for many.

Was closed for about an hour west of Grantsville, but it appears to be back open.

Dew points in the mid teens to low 20s. Pretty impressive to see the wet bulb freezing line just collapse into the lower eastern shore. If only this system had more moisture to work with.

I-68 in Garrett County is a sheet of ice. Already closed down.

I like ice and sleet. Any frozen is good frozen.

Clear skies, light winds. Just decoupled and dove to 33/19.
