pretty impressive, I don’t know if I’ll ever see that again.

Amazing with all the cold most of South Dakota and half of Minny and Wisconsin don't have snow.

MHT and CON are -1 to -2 too. Last couple of days evened out the departures after BOS was running a couple degrees colder relative to normal. Maybe call it seasonably cold locally.

To put the last couple Jans in perspective...MHT is running 10F colder than Jan 2023 and 6F colder than Jan 2024. Avg high temp mtd this Jan is 32.3F and the Avg T in Jan 2023 was 34.7F! So the highs this month are running colder than the avg T in 2023. Funny thing is that month as torched as Jan 2023 and Jan 2024 were both had considerably more snow mtd. 

This.  Jan departures and snowfall:
2023   +9.0°   29.9"
2024   +4.7°   29.9"
2025   +0.9°    3.5"   My guess is that we finish +/- 0.5°.
This month's highs are -0.9°. lows +2.7°.

the trend has been to dig south the past couple days .. having said that I have a tough time seeing it come much further south 

thats a legit cold shot post clipper though on the GFS

There has been digging but there is a window of only how much it can dig...unless there are some changes with that southwestern energy. 

And yeah that is a brutal cold shot on the backside there. Then we'll see what happens...pattern could become more active, it certainly looks more chaotic and unfortunately that comes with the risk that we could encounter a significant warmup...which probably further enhances a more active pattern and that we'll rain

It’s clearly the best at identifying arctic airmasses. I mean it’s ran out of Canada.
