Pattern Jammin' January

December was a good month for many with the storm on the 9th. An early one that is rare to see in these parts. Now, we are coming to January, and looking forward to what it holds. The pattern appears to be ripe for more winter storm chances as we get deeper into winter. Hopefully, we'll have a month full of potential.

Now it's time to get the snow train moving, and jam on it!

Cheers to a snowy and cold January. Let's hope we all get at least a few inches. A February 2010 like storm would be nice, nearly everyone in the Southeast got something with that one!
 
Know wonder it doesn’t snow anymore! 4F7A41EE-EE62-4FC3-B1D4-3B0D554D9513.png
 
I expect January to be awesome month for cold/snow lovers. A significant influence on the pattern as we progress in January is the effect the sudden stratospheric warming event (currently in the initial stages) will have on the jet stream, polar vortex, artic oscillation, blocking, etc. With that said here's some maps from tonight's 0z GFS, showing 10mb temps @ 48 hours ago, initialization, and 48 hours from now. The fuse has been lit fellas, :)

lol at the snow map, same areas get snow again and nada here

watching Wednesday for severe weather, it'll be 3 years to the date since there was a killer tornado 10 miles away :eek:

Now that is a mega block
 
I’d almost pay to keep this look for two weeks

Yeah, a beautiful +PNA/-NAO combo. All that’s really missing for near perfection is a -AO as it looks pretty neutral to me on the EPS/GEFS. But at least it isn’t a +AO and we’ve got the upcoming SSW that may take care of that. A borderline weak/moderate west based El Niño in the background, a
+PNA/-NAO, the strongest SSW in 10 years in about a week (hopefully gets us return of -AO), and the MJO progged to get to the favorable weak left side of the circle by mid Jan., the time of the coldest normals of the winter. What could be more promising than this? It still may not produce a big SE winter storm because they’re never easy to get but with the wx index slot machine at least appearing headed toward a 7-7-7-7-7, SE wx weenies at least have to like their chances. And at least the cold should dominate for quite awhile once it returns.
