Misc Cold Season Complaining

Yeah, seems like it's been forever. I still have no hope it will snow again here but it would be nice have some actual cold for longer than a day or two. Would love to see some teens and single digits but that run did not show any of those for our area. Still, the pattern shown looks fantastic; just hope it actually verifies!
What good is a good pattern if you don’t score any cold? It’s been cold basically since beginning of December.

I wish Amazon could deliver what ever “pattern “ or set up that delivered the goods back Jan 7 1988❄️☃️

I'm talking about some bonafide cold. It's been below average much of the month but no teens or single digits, highs in the 30s or below freezing, etc. I'd love to see below zero again but it's been decades and that may never happen again. Closest I've seen was 3 degrees (I think) back in 2013 or 14 with one of those fronts. Ceaser's Head has been below zero some. Anyway; if we can't see snow anymore, a good consolation would be some true cold.
 
serious question but putting it here bc ppl prolly get mad at me

what are the ways this upcoming much hyped pattern fails? cc @Webberweather53

Ways we can fail?

The obvious one is we just miss the finer details in the medium range and up being cold & dry.

The cold is going to show up in earnest here for the first time in at least 5-10 years in January. It’s a moisture question moreso

The transition between this pattern and the retraction could also be very quick and we don’t really get a truly good opportunity for a big dog.

Most likely I think something (even if it’s just a light event) is probably going to happen at some point & think our best chance to reel in the big fish is the 2nd-3rd week of January or so (Jan 8-21). I still have many questions about this pattern’s staying power beyond about MLK Day or so and think we’re going to see the Pacific Jet go in full retreat as we enter February.

Oth, we have a few of the right ingredients in place this year though (the background state that’s favorable for extensions and the +TNH interaction with the stratosphere), where we can buck the typical Nina trend of Feb torch or at least mute it like we did in 2013-14 for example. I still don’t think that’s likely to happen but I can see a way out
 
If it's like January or December 22 was here... The snow was very secondary to how cold it was. I mean yes it did snow for real for a couple hours but the arctic air really cut into the snow being a much bigger deal in both cases

That's the line we still haven't crossed since 2022 here. No big storm

Why? Do you like fixing burst pipes and playing outside in the cold? Do you like uprooting all your dead bushes in spring ?

I for the life of me can't understand why Anyone Would Want Freezing Cold weather! It wreaks havoc on everything! I can't help but think about the elderly that has to deal with that kind of weather.

I mean it's all relative. I have no interest in 40 below or upper midwest type cold for months on end. But a once in awhile, legitimate cold night or two and couple days below freezing isn't some crazy concept. Much of the country would laugh at that kind of cold anyway. We all have our things. Some people wish for heat and I can't imagine wanting more of that.

Nah I just want 65-70 year round
