Too bad the Broncos/Chiefs game Sunday isn't being played in KC. Looks like there will be a raging snowstorm there.

Anyone saying there isn't a legitimate signal for the last third of January is just straight up being dishonest. Will something actually happen? Maybe, maybe not. But to say that there aren't some very intriguing cards in our favor right now is just not true. For something beyond day 16, this is about as strong of a signal as one can realistically hope for. Literally every single extended suite is showing something very significant right now. That isn't entirely meaningless.

I have not. Thank you for warning me on the possibility that it wont happen and why I should stay away from all imagery, telemetry, and prognostications that would say otherwise without a disclaimer. Who knows what might have happened, I might have daydreamed about interesting precipitation and not about our climate norms.

Right now it appears the first half of the month could end up very close to normal or even a bit below normal. If so a cold second half could give us a chilly monthly average. That would be big news this century.
