There is some truth to that.

oh I see, but this is mostly the PNW oriented, strange dude I don't give a flip about out "out here" where he lives

Also, the models are showing the exact pattern (+TNH) that you had predicted earlier for the first half of January. Good job, Phil. As you've said numerous times, the retrogression/arctic blast potential for PNW was most likely going to come in the second half of January. Since the models aren't able to predict the pattern with any sense of reliability so far out, we are still in the wait and see period. No reason to get excited or disappointed with the clown range models at this point. My guess is that by the second week of January, we will start seeing a lot more clown range arctic blasts showing up on the models. Until then, merry Christmas! I'm looking forward your new years resolution delivered to us full on acronym Phil style. Seriously, I really do enjoy your insights despite the sometimes confusing acronyms. Keep up the good work.

He's been bullish for his location out east.

When you say bullish out here? Where is out here? Out here in Washington or out here wherever you live?
