My son randomly asked me yesterday if the sun is ever going to shine again and is it ever going to snow this winter. I told him there will probably be a decent amount of sun next week and signs are building towards cold and snow in 2-3 weeks. I spilled the beans... now I probably jinxed everything and it will just keep raining every day.

lol, how stupid. Running from the cops when you're leaving tracks.

The trend up here has been cooler in the mid-range, which is great to see. It wasn’t long ago the models were showing mid to upper 40s for next week.

I hope that's right. Because I'm like 40 miles on the edge

Fun storm to track and it def appears the Euro AI sniffed this one 6-7 days out before the rest dialed in on the storm potential. The stout 1042mb HP over the Dakota's certainly aiding in the south trend even though there ain't no SNOW OTG up in SD/MN and WI. So much for that old school rule! This storm will be the key to laying down a solid and widespread foundation for future storms and maintain cold air when it hits and holds for the remainder of JAN.
