I can't wait for Feb.

 

I'd like to fast foreward past the next week, of cold, mainly dry ennui.

 

I like big cold for weather novelty/records and pond skating is nice but it gets old after a while.  I'm starting to move into your camp of take our chances with big coastals and SWFEs that risk taint but can produce big for some.

I mean, if I had gotten in on that last one, this would be great.

But I didn't.

 

So it blows.

 The cold will be more remembered for its longevity on this upcoming (and past coupel days) pattern rather than its intensity. We basically get an arctic airmass sitting over a large expanse of the CONUS for like over a week...its not a quick shot like earlier this month.

 

It's not often you have that kind of pattern which is why I'm enjoying it.  I've been watching the Great Lakes ice to see how expansive it could get, especially over the next couple of weeks.

Great December here but January has been tough.  Take away the Jan 2nd event I'd have about 3-4" on the month. Sure the cold has helped me keep good snow cover in the yard but 3" of cement on the ground for weeks is not exactly exciting. 

However,  my 2.5 year old still finds the novelty in it when he's outside.  Maybe I need to adopt his attitude. lol

They have a shot at passing 1994 for largest ice cover since satellite records began. It will be interesting to see. A lot will depend on how cold we keep it into mid February.

Like I said, the novelty of the cold is fascinating to me.  I'll get out later and snap some pics of the rivers.  Not often we get to see the Ct River frozen here.

I keep looking at the CT when I'm at work in Springfield.  It has some large sheets on it but nothing solid.  Hopefully we can get some improvement on that.  I saw it frozen once back and remember the news outlets warning people not to go out on the ice.

Parts of the Hoose are frozen solid in sw ct.

Would of thought most of the CT river would be frozen up in springfield. I wonder if it has something to do with the death valley that it flows through.

Depends how deep it is there. The deeper it is, the harder it is to freeze. Also the speed of the current.

I recall seeing it frozen solid a few times in the past. Pretty sure it froze in January 2000 of all winters. There was a brutal 2 week stretch of cold that month that did the trick. I recall seeing it frozen going back to Cornell after winter break my freshman year.

I'm sure it froze in Jan 2004 of course.

I could totally see Ray just blowing us all out of the water with a stunning March late season surge ala Giants 2007 Epic late season playoff and Super Bowl run.

Yea, you negate that ocean and provide a stormy pattern, I'm going to absolutely derobe through midf March....2nd half of March gets dicey due to orographic considerations...
