The ridge being shown for week 2 is nothing special and when you add the fact the models have been way too ridge happy for week two in recent weeks it's highly possible that we'll end up with little ridging at all.
Up here this month has seemed a lot colder than it's actually been. Those few warm days really boosted the month to date average. The next 5 days will totally take care of that though. I've been liking the unseasonably chilly mins that many places have been seeing.
