I like thunderstorms and wind but tornadoes and big hail no thank you I saw over 4 inch hail that day in 2016 and I'm good never seeing it again ?
Funny enough the GEFS also shows the most snow for Oklahoma. Lol

Welcome sweet spring time we greet thee in song...
I find many aspects of wx interesting whether IMBY or not and some of which I find very interesting to track but don't want anywhere near me like hurricanes and tornadoes. In addition to what you listed, I like to follow among other things rainfall, temperatures/degree days, local dewpoints, general wind flow, dramatic frontal passages (I usually enjoy these as I love to see the dramatic change to a new airmass), SSTs, local tide levels, local seabreezes, and climate change (including the causes). I love studying GA and nearby wx history, including historical stats.

I've always been fascinated by some of the temp changes associated with chinook winds. Watching places go from 0 to 50 degrees in a matter of 30 minutes is crazy to me.

Here's the record setting chinook event. Imagine living through that and seeing these temp shifts. We are talking 2 minutes.
The Black Hills of South Dakota are home to the world's fastest recorded rise in temperature. On 22 January 1943, at about 7:30 am MST, the temperature in Spearfish, South Dakota, was −4 °F (−20 °C). The Chinook kicked in, and two minutes later, the temperature was 45 °F (7 °C). The 49 °F (27 °C) rise set a world record, yet to be exceeded. By 9:00 am, the temperature had risen to 54 °F (12 °C). Suddenly, the Chinook died down and the temperature tumbled back to −4 °F (−20 °C). The 58 °F (32 °C) drop took only 27 minutes.[16][17]

Worst January ever , I would take an active up and down month like January 2014 than a crap fest like what we are getting now where it’s constant at home and jerk it all day weather. I didn’t sign up for this oceanic garbage .
I honestly don't know what to think about our upcoming winter weather chances for January. I agree with you that the current and near term forecast sucks; cold rain and lots of it. If I'm correct, a la nina is suppose to be dry (and above normal temps) during winter. Even if this next system provides us something wintery, it'll be a mess of mixed types with marginal temps. I'm really hoping to see a true arctic air mass (it's been some time). Snow is still number one for me, but a cold spell where the ponds freeze over would be a close second. Maybe we can turn things around the next week or so. Webber stated that we may get a better feed of cold air into N. America soon.
You've been spoiled recently. This certainly reminds me of winters growing up and even as I went to college where it's cool/damp and a day or 2 in the 60s/70s were a treat and not the rule
