We shall see! I think that when we look at the 11/15-1/15 period, aka the first half of the cold season, it will show a solid cold anomaly for the eastern half of the CONUS. Which they were quite due for. After that, perhaps the worm does a back flip.

Models are pretty clear we see a complete flip during the month of February. Though overall, January does not look cold in the east, average to slightly below average while we roast out west.

The Lord helps weenies who help themselves.

Though Mt. Hood is struggling with near normal snow pack, every other basin in Oregon is well above average. The Rogue and Klamath basins are over 200% of their normal snow pack to date.

Maps for February in December are silly.
