Andrew is right that this pattern is very likely to break late Jan thru at least mid-Feb. But it’s possible even with that change, the Pacific will continue to piss in everyone’s cheerios, as it has refused to budge from its progressive (to at best quasi-progressive) state this entire cold season. If in 2 weeks the Pacific is still relatively flat with no indications of substantial improvement in model guidance, then I think we’d have to entertain the possibility it won’t get its act together this season.

That was a cold month here. -6.2 anomaly for DEN. No bitter cold though until the very end of the month, when they pulled off a 6/-15. No Dec 2022, but still a nice cold wave.

My wife is suffering pretty bad with seasonal depression on top of regular depression. For me the holidays kind of lifts my spirits. I love spending time at home with the kids this time of year. I also find legitimately stormy stretches much more bearable as I enjoy tracking that type of weather.

that dude is such trash, bust again and again and again

We haven't had a big January in my lifetime and I am 40 years old...
