One of the things I'm trying to learn is how to read that map and tell if its a cold/dry look (I get the placement of the NAO/AO/EPO/etc).  But to me that would seem to suggest NS dominated and/or cold/dry.  Deepest low heights are centered over the great lakes.

That's just the general pattern going forward, and yes it does look cold and dry somewhat but the mean skews/washes out any PNA spike or brief relaxation in the block. The biggest plus in that map is we will actually have a real cold air source. It's game on essentially

I just saw a forecast low of 11 degrees for Monday, Feb 08. Is that real? Likely to change? Should I buy a propane heater for my greenhouse, just in case?

A 7-day forecast is always going to change except under extreme rare circumstances. Even a 5-day is likely to shift - though hopefully not as much.

The GFS has been showing precip along the cold frontal passage at the edge of the arctic airmass at 6-7 days.  Those can be squall-y and fun if it comes together right.  Something to keep an eye one.

       This caught my eye too.       This would be a line of heavy snow squalls that caused a disaster on the roads as temps plummeted behind it.    Something like this happened here a few years ago on Valentine's Day 2015.

Yes...just looking at that now, myself.  It definitely looks very much like the event in Feb. 2015 with a couple hours squall followed by a literal blast of cold (2" snow at my place from that).  That is a strikingly similar look, honestly, if it were to play out as shown.

Gfs has period of snow sleet Friday morning then Sunday.  I'll take CMC for Sunday. 

Expand  

CMC similar to the GFS for the weekend with blasting a front through, but actually a little later it appears (more like Sunday night as opposed to earlier in the day).

I'll have what the CMC is smokin' for next Wednesday (Feb. 10)!
