countdown 'its over' clock is at T-Minus 84:00h and counting

Not terrible if you like dry cold.

ECMWF shows a major enhanced inversion for week two. Right now it appears we will have to wait for another retrogression step to get to the good stuff. Hopefully the pattern can remain amplified until that happens. Still can't rule out being into deep cold by the 20th, but not much supporting it in the model world right now.

Nothing good about any of the 12z runs

So bad you gotta laugh. This is why you don’t make predictions based on 300+ hours out. Even Phil got fooled predicting 75/25 of arctic PNW lol.
