The eastern ridge could still win...but maybe.

My money is on the cold air winning out, it almost always does, you put any sort of arctic airmass in the central plains with a trough out west or in the central plains, that cold air is going to crush the ridge 10/10 times, though a little se ridging could help to suppress the storm track to our advantage

I believe any hopes of wintry fun are slowly fading. I cant remember another winter like this one.

I think you have amnesia because over the years you’ve been burned more than a charred marshmallow.

Good news that is it looks like rain chances should be coming back pretty soon. Sign me tf up for that!

Today's Forecast

[Stratton20]

Looks like wetter conditions ahead with closer to near normal temperatures after this week, not bad, definitely a trend in the right direction, anything to get of these wretched, diabolical 80’s, I will gladly take

I just looked back the the Jan 2025 topic. There were 133 pages of comments. I'm going out on a limb to say we dont reach 25 pages this year. I'm assuming most people have already moved on to spring and just forgetting about this winter. I can only imagine what summer will be like this year, if if Dec and Jan are any indication.

Fall, winter, and spring are one continuity of crap lately, and then 8-9 months of summer.

At this point, I'd just take seasonable temps beginning the 10th. That may be the best we can hope for. I think we're looking at more Pacific than true arctic FROPAs. The 12zs look marginal and more rediging on an off. CMC has cold weather about the 20th.

Stay tuned. Things may change.

This week's forecast..

[DoctorMu]

^Same as last week's forecast.

There is a tiny glimmer of hope on the horizon...although I'm still going with seasonable temps from Jan 10-20+.
