re: Major arctic outbreak with Deep South snowstorm potential (Jan 6th - Jan 14th)

dude - nothing better than grilling in the snow

Might need to extend the dates in OP:

All of a sudden, Mother Nature figured out how to run a proper winter across the United States.

By next Monday, a major Arctic blast will descend the Rockies into Texas.

Temperatures 45°F below normal in Denver put actual lows close to -30°F

I'd expect this to moderate as we approach next weekend.

Unfortunately, this is a "double load" of Arctic air, as another massive chunk of cold air could wipe out the rest of Lower 48 east of the Rockies into weekend of Jan 25-26th.

Hopefully someone will turn a dial or push a button to keep this on the other side of the North Pole.

If we get -25 do I need to wrap my pipes more?

Somehow south Louisiana will hit zero degrees and still only get rain.

6z GFS run for 1/12/25 shows ice/sleet for next Monday south of I-10

Latest Euro has all snow.

Even though this probably won’t happen, lows in the mid 20’s are very likely

I'm getting too old for this shite

Seeing 1-3" of snow for next Monday night here in West Central Georgia. That's the night of the NCG in Atlanta.

Repeat of Super Bowl XXXIV ice storm?

*The "model snow maps" you will see plastered all over social media from deterministic model output mean nothing over the next few days. Deterministic runs will flip and flop like a fish out of water in the 7-10 day range. Remember, "think before you share".

Spann is one of the few mets worth a shite.

Seems to be shaping up for a snow heavy winter in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys. Should make for an interesting Spring flood season.

I don’t like the looks of that…
