NAM caved. Throwing in the towel. 1-3 new call oh well. Bring on spring.

Yeah, I made a comment elsewhere that this system has a remarkably flat track over a very long distance. Something like this rolling into the Plains would develop a more northerly component almost every other time, but the confluence is just too much.

Yeah, even though it doesn't quite make it over us for a lot of this run, it's just nice to see the cold air on the right side of the content for once. It would only take some very minor adjustments to the pattern to shunt it down here when it's that close. Even if this January ~17 stuff fizzles out, I still really like our odds for the next few weeks afterward.

Yup every location has its pros and cons. Overall our modern lives are pretty easy.

Look at gradient in southern Iowa. Never have I seen this!!!
