This mid and extended range doesn't scream historic warmth to me for anyone living N of roughly the Del Marva latitudes... not that anyone asked - 

There's too much confluence modeled to swing through southern Canada and the correction vector should be toward increasing sfc PP along the 50th parallel up there underneath...which means the obvious down to 40 N.

If for some reason we can tip toe through the next 4 to 10 days without getting a +PP in southern Ontario... we'd still need a well-mixed dry adiabatic atmosphere on long fetched continental flow, and so far, the warm sectors that - I feel - are over done because of the first point, are dirty anyway.

What are the big 4 records for warmest January?

According to BOX climate page

BOS 39.3 (1913)

ORH 34.6 (1913)

PVD 38.6 (1932)

BDL 37.7 (1932)

If we're converting those into departures for 1981-2010, we'd need something like a +10 to +11 for the month.

Not with the huge flip to cold after the 20-22 period . AN sure and probably WAN, but nothing near records 

Sure, double digit deperatures aren't exactly easy, but it's possible

Last 10 years JAN BDL

2019 -0.3

2018 -0.9

2017 +6.6

2016 +4.1

2015 -2.8

2014 -1.6

2013 +2.5

2012 +5.5

I’ve heard this January 20th mentioned a lot.  What happens on the 20th?

On or about that date is when the changes happening globally now over the Far East and Scandinavia translates to global atmospheric shuffle and we lose the PAC flow. 
Ask Scooter what he thinks about the last 10 days or so of Jan . See what he says

That was a surprisingly well articulated description, thanks.  Put me in the camp that these pattern changes take a bit longer than advertised, but eventually it’ll change.  The ebbs and flows of NE Winter.

Cold. 

And pretty crappy for snow too. At least quick glance at BOS. Maybe it was better in the interior. 

That was a putrid stretch for BOS snowfall. 8 straight winters with below normal snowfall. 

Thy oxen got tired with so few days of sleighing.

Flow was too fast

Next weekends cutter on the 0z GFS would be a snow and ice storm for CNE/NNE, Just like all these other ones that look to shift east over time.

Oof....for those 60F to powderfreak calls. GGEM was even starting to look precarious for SNE too but both medium range models first out of the gate tonight trended that way

Seems like most of these lakes cutters dampen out and end up further east as we get into the mid range, Yeah those 60F calls up in NNE are tough to achieve this time of year with clouds and low sun angle.
