Heck ya baby! Lesss go!! Time to freakin' bust out the winter gear and make it snow Mother Nature... CFSv2 going balls out with a mean trough centered over the Lower Lakes....man oh man, haven't seen a JAN pattern like this since....JAN '14 maybe so, but that trough was a bit farther N and slightly E, iirc, but this map is showing a lot more -AO and a bit Greenland blocking. Let's get this Party Rocking! We will be Welcome Ol' Man Winter in 2025 right on cue in the the opening days and this time it ain't going away any time soon. Boom! CFSv2 4x daily last 16 runs...

Finally some light at the end of the tunnel. This is one heck of a way to end December. 40s and rain in SE Wisconsin this morning

This mornings GFS looks similar. I started a January thread.

Let's kick off the new year with a big share the wealth storm in week 1 and artic outbreak in week 2. January looks like it will be a blast with the MJO taking a tour through the cold phases. The Euro Ai and GFS have similar ideas on a storm around the 5th and 6th. let's go and get some D**n snow on the ground!

Some fodder to argue about
