Yikes. I’m heading to Alabama today. Should get some nice thunderstorm action there.

The CFS continues to offer a lot of hope for February. I think it will be pivotal to see when the switch flips. Is it further into the month or does it begin to happen by the end of January.

You can even see the kicker system behind it. One thing about this year's pattern to keep in mind. We've seen these 1-2 punch kinda systems, the 2nd one has often been the stronger one.

Woah buddy... That 00z Euro run was something else. Widespread 12+ inches of snow accompanied with multiple days of highs topping out in the negative teens and lows in the negative 20s. It's showing a -48 apparent temperature on 1/10 which would be the coldest temp we have experienced since moving here. That was a crazy good run for many members on here. I'm loving the renewed signs of life for the 1/5-1/7 storm. It has the potential to be a doozy. On the more near term, the NAM is not going down without a fight on this NYE storm. It's sticking to its guns with a more appreciable 3-6 inch snowfall. Too bad it's practically the only model showing it and it's the NAM...

12z NAM for the 30th.
