For now hold... but geesh!   not impossible that we're seeing the local hemisphere through winter goggles.   I'm guilty of it too. 

Models are going to struggle with that boundary - that's a slam dunk for poor performance.   Unfortunately ...about top shelf premium error magnitude exists across where ever that is

Yeah this is the type of pattern that is about as bad as it gets for model guidance in the medium/long range. Very high gradient with fast flow and an emphasis on what is going on in the fast flow coming out of the arctic regions which even in the age of satellite data is poor coverage up there. I’d expect lots of big shifts. Something that may look good at 6-7 days out could easily be congrats Montreal at verification…and vice versa.

This is a good moment for you to jump in with one of your posts. I’m sure you probably just wait, model run after model run, until you find a good one to comment on!

I blocked is Arse.... Rather not even see is malarkey!

Perfectly stated!

CON will finish Jan at 21.0° which is -1.3°

5 years ago that would’ve been +0.4

15 years ago … +0.9

25 years ago … +2.4

Yeah pretty amazing how cold it's been this year with the warming climate.

Pond ice isn't going anywhere, should get nice and thick.

That's the big difference about this year. Not that it's been strikingly cold but the melts sure have been slow. Past couple years snow stayed on the ground for an afternoon at best.

Maybe the Snow melts have been slow, but the human melts..... Not so much ( I can attest to that..lol ).

So the “cold over-performed all month” but couldn’t get BDL or ORH below normal? Lol

Everyone knows those sites are a joke. Why the national weather service is allowed to taint this record cold Is a shame. Trump will straighten it out.

I’d argue radiating was average.

If that’s the case then a lot of westerly downslope flow this month may make BDL still a bit warmer even when you adjust for their ASOS bias. They ran 1.4F ahead of ORH and their biases are fairly similar though BDL might be a few tenths worse, but that still leaves roughly a degree difference. 
 

Anyways, pretty flaccid cold departures in January relative to the very cold mid-level departures.

BDL and ORH were both +0.9 on mins coming into today, but who the hell knows what the nightly errors are anymore. There was a stretch of some good cold mixing nights early and then there was a week where BDL was crushing ORH on mins. And with the lack of precip I just figured it was probably close to average rad.

So is ORH. Both are running warm. Lack of radiating this month though was going to make BDL a little higher anyway. 

Yeah +1.2 (not including today) isn’t a disaster. BDR is -1.6.

At home my monthly average is 27.4°. By far my coldest the last few years.
