33 / 20 (Christmas lights and decorations taking down weather).  Low 40s today and tomorrow.  Sharply colder Tue - Thu before the next 3 day warm up the end of this coming week and next weekend Fri - Sun.  Dry week  12 - 18.  The 19 - 21 watching the arctic front and any low on the boundary.   Much colder 23 - 27th  focus of the cold west into the GL, Midwest, south initially then looks to come east by the 26/27.  Perhaps moderation to close the month 29-31.

Lakes starting to freeze over 

 

Ontario doesn’t freeze.  Too deep.  Michigan too.  Thats why areas east of it like the TUG can see 400 inches easily while the Erie snow machine shuts down usually by now, same for the UP.  Erie is shallow to it freezes the most often.  Superior snd Huron rarely entirely freeze.

More on the 1964 snowstorm 

https://www.weather.gov/rlx/jan64

 

The Blizzard of '64 (January 12-14, 1964)

Widespread 10 to 15 inches of snow across Albany Forecast Area, with up to 30 inches in Catskills, and around 20 inches in southern Vermont and the Berkshires. 15.4 inches reported at Albany, NY making it one of the top 10 greatest snowstorms from January. Winds gusting 50 to 60 MPH caused near zero visibility and snow drifts of 3 to 8 feet were reported. Route 9 in Vermont was closed from Bennington to Brattleboro. Winds downed trees and powerlines in Massachusetts causing power outages.

Tony, it's rare for NYC to get double digit snow from a storm that dumps on Vermont and Albany like that too!

And before the blizzard, December 31 1963-January 1, 1964 saw snow in the Deep South. Atlanta picked up 2.2" and Birmingham saw 8.4".

At least 20 years ago we also had a lot of snow to go with it

Thinking we moderate a lot due to lack of snow not to mention temps have been over performing vs model forecasts

yes the 2000s were much snowier, but before that the 1980s were our least snowy decade.  Snow goes in cycles (unlike temperature.)

While the air mass that is likely to move into the Dakotas will likely be of Siberian origin, it is less clear whether the Siberian air will actually reach east of the Appalachians. Here's the latest Hysplit forecast for the NYC metro area:

I feel like the trend overnight was for more cold in the east with less southeast ridge but it’s still early

Open question to the audience, if anybody knows, what is the catalyst for a negative EPO? It seems no matter what the phase is of the mjo, the negative EPO either stays or rebuilds immediately. 

I have heard the chicken or egg argument where it's either the -EPO warms the waters off the West Coast versus the warm Waters off the West Coast creates the negative EPO.

Whatever it is, all year the EPO has been predominantly negative.
