The next 8 days are averaging 35.6degs., or 3degs. AN. Month to date is +8.2[.40.7]. Should be +6.7[39.1] by the 28th. This +3 it maintains for the remainder of the month, so January ends at +6.1[38.5]. First 4 days of February are +9. All models have no more than a Trace near the 26th. CMC looks like its the coldest for next 10 days. NB: The 06Z GFS looks like its older brother run of exactly four days ago, which was 24" of wet snow here. Start of Feb. looks better too at +7.5 for the first 5 days. PAGE1REPLATE: Unfortunately SD just called an end to the winter within 3 weeks. He must have gotten this from Judah Cohen with whom he consulted with 10 days ago. JC stated an inexplicable heating of the ionosphere had destroyed the strat. warming. I noted this then, but saw no follow up here from the members. 21* here at 6am. 27* by Noon. 30* by 2pm. 32* by 3:30pm. -

Tomorrow AM still seems to be the coldest we will see for two weeks: GFS still has the first 4 days now of February averaging near a +10. Maybe this is better than yesterday, but 1953 analog still up there. Besides, the automated weekend system shows it will dry along EC at this same time. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814analog.off.gif -

The next 8 days are averaging 35.4degs , or 3degs. AN Month to date is +8.5[41.0]. Should be about +7.0[39.3] by the 27th. 37* here at 6am. 42* already by 9am. 43* at 10am. 42* by Noon. GFS is +4 and zippo Snow for remainder of month. First 3 days of Feb. are +13. Ends Jan. near +6.8[39.1]. GEM is coldest and has 7" of Snow near 26th. EURO should stay at home for duration. Winter to date is now +3.6, 49 days.. -

Another pukey winter month analog crawls out from under the snow less sod of Central Park. Now it is 1953, a season that had just 5.5" of snow after Dec. 31. The GFS is now +10 for the first 3 days of February. btw: Any one know what the Highest Low T for January is? Maybe 19 in 2002? We may not beat 20. In addition, the run that had 24" of wet snow on Jan. 25,26 here was less than three days ago>>>>>06Z, Jan. 16 https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814analog.off.gif -

The next 8 days are averaging 34.5degs., or 2.5 degs. AN. Month to date is +9.2[41.7]. Should be about +7.1[39.4] by the 26th.(good for 9th. Place) 23* here at 6am. 27* already by 9am. 30* by Noon. Back to 26* with Snow/Evap. Cooling at 1pm. Snow took a long break, reached 32* at 5:30pm, started again an hour ago or so. 33* at 6pm and no snow. 35* at 6:30pm. 37* at 8:00pm. All models are about 3"---4" for today. Starts 1pm with Snow until 6pm, then some Rain till 8pm. After that: 'a long WAKE for winter's early demise'? -

The GFS has the last 14 days of January averaging 36.5 or +4.5. Using a -6 for today and +10.1 for the first 16 days, we are probably going to finish near 39.4 for the month. Just 6 runs ago the GFS had 20.1 for the same overlapping period. This run kicks off February 01---02 at a +12 pace. Accuweather which raised its January forecast just after the month started from +1 to +6, has just raised its February outlook to -1, from (sorry---do not know what it was before). More importantly, they feel they did not raise it enough as they wait on PV evolution. A trough made up of AN heights: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814analog.off.gif -

The next 8 days are averaging 31.5degs., or about 0.5deg. BN. Month to date is +10.1[42.6]. Should be about +6.5[38.9] by the 25th. 25* here at 6am. 23* at 7am. 22* at 8am. 23* at 9am. 26* by Noon. 27* at 1pm. 29* at 3pm. 28* by 6pm. All models are 2"-3" on Saturday. Enjoy. Rest of January is zippo and T is about 34degs., or 2degs. AN. That is about 14 degs. higher than predicted yesterday. Expect more talk on how great February will be. Expect some locale in the general area to have another +40 degree day between 1/25---02/02. Model looks sunburned. -

You can WYA with the rest of this month. The 06Z GFS this morning averaged 20.1* for the rest of January, and the 18Z GFS averages 28.9*. This is what a CAD program spits out when the physics package is turned off-------a cartoon for kiddies. Snow totals went from 24" to just 1" more this month. With the Jan. 31 threat you can take the aforementioned WYA and wipe your nose with it. Official forecast is AN for remainder of month. 'SE Trough' still getting crushed. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814analog.off.gif -

The next 8 days are averaging 32degs., or just Normal. Month to date is +10.0[42.5]. Should be +6.4[38.6] by the 23rd. OK, using the next 17 day average temperature (28.6 or -3.5) as predicted by the GFS, January will end near +2.7. 44* here at 6am. 46* by 9am. 49* by Noon. 52* by2pm. 54* at 4pm. Do not expect more than 2" Sat., or even beyond. Models are back to the 50's by the 25th. or so. A great decade---but not now please. Which meteorologist will be the first to pull plug on this winter and admit there is no money for their proposed weather. They should debate on national TV. -

The next 8 days are averaging 34degs. , or 2degs. AN. Month to date is +9.9[42.5]. Should be +6.9[39.3] by the 22nd. Using the -4 average anomaly as currently indicated for the next 17 days, we will be near +2 by the 31st. 44* here at 6am. 43* at 7am. 46* by 10am. 48* by Noon. Our three main models all have about 2" of Snow near the 18th/19th. and little else, and we have a long boring wait for winter's end. Not cutting it at all. -

The next 8 days are averaging 37degs., or 5degs. AN. Month to date is +10.0[42.6]. Should be +8.0[40.4] by the 21st. 41* here at 6am. 45* by 10am. 50* by 1pm. 48* at 2pm. 48* still at 3pm. For the 18th., the putative snow amounts are: GFS 6", EURO 5", CMC 3". GFS is back AN 1/24---1/28 at a measly +1. Was showing way BN a day ago. What happened? Here our only significant precipitation event (18th) coincides with a rise in the T and THK. I note that a few posts beyond, someone is already singing the praises of Feb. Despite this, from the 06Z GFS we get that the period 17th---29th will average 23degs., or 9degs. BN! If you believe this run, the MTD will be just +1.8 by the 30th. This better show up in subsequent charts like the one here. -

The THK still rising each time precipitation threatens. No CAD, 50/50 Low, or -NAO? Does not suggest an Arctic onslaught in the T department either. The Fat Lady just wetting her throat ATT, but the hounds are already starting to try to sniff out their own tails---if not yet chasing them outright. HARK!!! the HORNS are ushering in February already. -

All models have a little snow on the 18th.----'SnOw What' CMC probably coldest for next 10 days. EURO loaded with 50's.(+7 for next 10 days) GFS: who cares.(it is -2 on the next 17 days giving the month a +2.2 by the 29th.) The first 21 days of the calendar winter have averaged +8.7, with just one BN day. Who predicted that would be the case. Not I. At any rate here is the next 16 days, averaged out. Worth the wait? Who knows. -

Strong sea breeze forced an early High for the day of 63* for me at 11:15am. Spent the PM between 53-55. NB: The GEM has a foot of snow here in exactly one week, with the potential for 35", since the available LE is 3.5" With all sorts of crazy SD's floating around for various atmospheric parameters---this could just be another one the GEM has sniffed out before the other models. Or maybe it is just snorting things out. Try that w/o the letter 'n' LOL! -

GFS is now averaging 25degs., or 7degs. BN for the period (17th---26th, with 5" of snow). Still it is having phasing problems, as precipitation events are accompanied by a rise in the T. Maybe it will not matter at mid-winter. At any rate the MTD would then be +2.2 by the 27th. This is because today and the next 6 warm days are exactly erased by the above -7 for 10 days. A chameleon month in the making? -

Taken literally, this is 10" of Snow and then the single digit regime. If not already an exaggeration, then I bet it starts showing the mandatory sub-zero T's it does every mid winter period with a realization rate of less than 10%. That is, just two sub-zero realities here in the last 26 years. I like that snow on the ground already setup for a lower boundary layer T, than otherwise would theoretically be possible.

The next 8 days are averaging 47degs., or 15degs. AN. Month to date is +6.2[39.1]. Should be about +10.3[42.8] by the 18th. 37* here at 6am. 55^ by 4pm. EURO is slower with the BN air, no 'BN Days' or Snow for at least 10 days. CMC goes BN late 10-Day and snow is possible. GFS goes BN with the 17th and has snow on the 19th and 22nd. It is -6 for the 9 days (17th---25th). This would make the MTD +4.3 by the 26th. We will see. -

Are we really gonna trust any of these outputs? There is a glaring 50 degree difference for Florida between the GFS/GEFS around the 24th. GFS even has snow in Florida that day and almost nowhere else in the 48. Personally I want the cold and snow. However, I may start rooting for a record warm January instead, if we start a 'dog trying to catch his own tail scenario' Let January be Number One, it deserves it. Then clear the slate and start off February with another all time record of -16 on the first and a 40" snowstorm that is still on the ground April 01 because it is being protected by the additional 40" that falls during the following 60 days. lol. SO LET IT BE WRITTEN SO LET IT BE DONE
