I really need to see at least the AO negative, if not the NAO as well, to get really interested.

That would be better, but a favorable Pacific can deliver as long as it doesn't get completely hostile up top. GEFS has the AO trending closer to neutral around the end of the month.

Bands are forming over south Texas. One is training over Buda with all snow now, light to moderate, 27/25, NE winds gusting to 27mph. About a half inch of snow, some sleet embedded earlier.

@Jebman - I don't even know where to begin - you are in freaking Texas!!! 

We're not talking a dusting here, folks. Oh no. You are going to get a "parade of plumes", a "bomb cyclone Tex-Mex fiesta" dropping white gold on cacti and tumbleweeds like it's trying to rewrite the state's weather legacy. Houston? Gone. Galveston? Forget it. Buda? It’s a snow and ice-encrusted snowy winter wonderland now.

Models were SCREAMING about this for days, but who believed it? It’s Texas! The land of brisket, 100-degree football games, and air conditioners melting asphalt. Yet here we are. You will be buried in widespread 2" and locally higher amounts!!! Texas meteorologists are blinking like deer in headlights.

DFW will shut down based on cold air alone. San Antonio is desperately trying to learn what the heck a snowplow is. Cars will be sliding around like penguins on Crisco. And you know the media will be losing its mind. "Historic Winter Blast!" “Arctic Apocalypse!” Jim Cantore might as well camp out on the Alamo steps at this point.

Stock up on popcorn and watch Texans attempt to drive in this mess. A shoutout to the heroes who’ve never seen snow but are still trying to shovel their driveways with BBQ spatulas. @Jebman - this is your time - your moment - you alone can TEACH THEM HOW TO SHOVEL!!!!

This cold will be dug in like a tick on a hound dog. Congrats Texas -- you’re the new Alberta for a week!!

Talk about a great reverse impression of Jeb for some Texas snow. Classic. @Jebman HEAD TO LOUISIANA with a shovel!

Don't know if anyone has looked closely, but modeling is back to looking warm the start of February. Honestly, I think it's inevitable.  Weeklies went back to the warm look for every week in February after a step back from it yesterday. We'll see. Hopefully models are missing something...like weenie desires.

I think its almost inevitable as nearly always the case.  A long cold pattern is followed by a mild pattern.  When the arctic empties it takes a while to reload, if it is........

I would expect a milder at least first half of February, then a return to colder into March.

GEFS most pronounced.  ECM thinking about it.

This January seems to be spreading the snow love everywhere where everyone gets some snow. We got ours Jan 6, south got it Jan 10, nrn folks got theirs 2 days ago, and now the gulf coast is getting it too. 

Blows a big hole in the “south of 40N is SOL” narrative. Love it

yep, there might be more snow in this storm than one that occured in the late 1800s...  over a century later, the same thing is happening.  should make a lot of people stop and think.
