Pattern January 2021 - Joyless January

You gotta be kidding me. Just as it looked like a big one was coming on the euro, it gets suppressed to the south. Right as the precip is about to hit.
 
This does have CAD written all over it. The ? is, will it be ice or snow (or both)? Those west of the Apps are going to have to wait, and for a while too.
 
Before we leave our depressed state of mind, thanks to the 12z Euro. Reminder we have crossed the halfway point of Met Winter. 6 weeks left. Im actually very pleased so far,because I really expected wall to wall torch.

Major ice storm with back end snow..... GREAT ... honest interesting cause the euro and its ensembles have been fairly consistent in this type of pattern and even showing consistent wintry potential signals in the snow plots ... we’ve always knows we have a chance at a CAD in the upcoming pattern and usually the pattern before changing drastically leaves with a bang
 
There's pros and cons for living on either side of the mountains. For Christmas we saw how the cold was able to push quickly in and give our friends in E. Tennessee a white Christmas; while the mountains delayed the cold for us east of the mountains. On the flip side of things those same mountains can give us CAD. Here's the euro for the discussed event. Notice a 30 degree difference from E Tennessee to the CAD areas.

The lack of variety in temperature this month has been nothing short of remarkable at RDU so far.

We have not had a high temperature above 57°F all month, nor have we had a high temperature below 40°F. We also have not had a low temperature above 44°F or below 25°F. Normally we hit 60°F at least a few times during January, and we typically get below 20°F at least once.

Testament to -NAO/+EPO. No SE ridge (so lack of warmth), but AK vortex keeps most of the cold air locked away into Eurasia. You just end up w/ a consistently seasonable pattern day after day.
