January has sun angles about like December. Lots of time still. Seattle had a high of 29 in March in 1955 so the sun angle thing is blown out of proportion IMO. It eventually becomes a big deal of course.

Sun angles are rising. Heart of winter is disappearing fast. Need this within a week on models starting this weekend or I don’t think it’s going to happen. Good news tho, days start getting shorter in 163 days.

Yeah. The first ridge merger is just after Day 5. If the models were to trend with a successful first ridge merger we could be looking at something incredible.

BTW this is well inside 10 days now.

This could end being known as the Jekyll and Hyde winter. Both halves total opposites.
