I still think we have a small window in the 1/30-2/2 timeframe. After that the good thing about those heights over the the lakes is that they appear to be feeding into a nice -NAO.

yea. i'm not ruling that out, but we would have to get incredibly lucky to make that timeframe work out.

It is about time to face the fact that most of us will be shut out again. It is going to be hard to get cold air back down here with all of the US snowpack gone. I'm hoping the warm weather we get later this week takes us right on in to spring.

With the pattern being advertised in Mid-February, there's a good chance our cold air feed will be coming from New England/Southeast Canada. And their snowpack looks to be in great shape up there.

Please tell me where you’re getting that all the US snowpack is going to be gone? The interior northeast and the upper Midwest to northern Plains will keep a good deal of their snowpack in the next couple weeks. In fact the interior northeast at least has a good chance of adding more that TPV setting up over eastern Canada.

The 384 hour panel on the 6z GFS shows all of the snowpack in the midwest and upper plains gone. It is true there is lots of snowpack in eastern Canada, but I do not see that helping us from that far away.

and the 384 hour panel on the GFS is absolutely worthless… most of those areas ensembles means hardly ever go above freezing the entire run of the GEFS and EPS… also like others have said with the amount of CAD setting up, the NE snowpack is going nowhere
 
Dang. My Feb 8-15 timeframe showing on models.

Too bad I'm wrong about the snow part and it's probably ice at best for cae if any winter precip even happens

You’ll be lucky to get below 30 even at night the next 2 weeks. That’s pretty amazing for northeast Iowa in the heart of winter.

Yep! But the good thing is, that’s what happened 2 weeks befor the snowiest week in DBQ since ‘85. I’ll take that again!
 
I know the Pacific jet extension does not necessarily mean torch, but this time it means torch. Looking forward to some mid 50s in the Chicago area for early February. A nice long stretch of 60s down in my old Atlanta stomping grounds too.

We were completely wedged in that weekend in the CLT area. Temperatures fell into the 50s overnight on Friday and stayed there with on/off light rain and drizzle through Sunday night. Just a miserable weekend. The sun finally broke through on Memorial Day itself in time to get us up close to 70.

I was sitting here thinking “why don’t I remember that?” and then remembered I was in Edinburgh where it was 75 and sunny. Almost like bizzaro world.

I take mine down to about 1 ft or less. If leave a couple of buds and they still take over every year.

Nice! I've let mine get to like 4 ft tall to make a screen but I don't need that anymore. Just worried they wouldn't do well with such an aggressive pruning

Yessir got 120lbs ready to roll.

How much can I cut off of knock outs? I want to take them down about 3 ft

They can go down to a foot tall if you want. They will be full again by summer. But if you take half or less off, they will be fine too. It’s a personal preference

You want to leave the bud facing the way you want the nee growth to go. If the bud you cut above, is facing off to the right, the new shoot will go right and opposite is true for right! You want to keep center open supposedly. A lot of people just flat top them

When is the ideal time to trim. Mine are out of control.
