ok, only tangentially related,  but if you're in the mood to read about some real cold - and Laura Ingalls Wilder - check out the link.

Thats funny, Ive been reading that book this winter. Yeah, I know it's for young readers but at a few hundred pages and stories of blizzards, it's an enjoyable read on those cold nights. Also won a couple awards iirc.

They do but they also still show signs of the pac jet undercutting in the central pacific and now signs of the AO going negative again. It wouldn’t take much adjustment to shift cold back into the east. Even the look they show wouldn’t be hopeless as trailing waves would have potential with cold close by.

CFS has us not too brutally cold and not warm either thus has us right on the edge for many systems between now and PD...fwiw. So yeah, a little push back on the SER tendencies and it really wont take much. I think we are in a fine spot tbh with no signs of pac puke, no linkup  between nao and said ser, and that Mongolian air readily available with near constant ridging in the epo region.

I'd rather just be cold enough for snow instead of brutal cold... alot of time the brutal cold deep troughs in east tend to suppress storms.. in my opinion

Long term temperature normals are a smoothed average. If you remove the smoothing, that is, examine the actual daily averages for the past 50 years in the NE Corridor, you'll find the there are two separate annual min temps, one centered around Jan 20 and another Feb 5. In between those dates is a slight warm up, sometimes called the January thaw. This year might follow that pattern.
