The first day back to school after Christmas break always tends to be significantly cooler than the day before. So I predict that a cold front will get here Monday night/Tuesday.
I stopped listening to JB long ago. He hypes things for views and usually gets his predictions wrong. Did we have a growing season last year? Did we have a cold Christmas east coasters and midwesterners? I do believe we'll get a pretty good shot of cold air after the Jan 3-5 system, but it's only going to last a few days to a week before mild weather ensues (again).. awfully mild winter. I don't like it cold but I would like some lasting snow.

He was wrong about December. Well, he began to back away from his below average December by mid November. Though JB's forecasts were right about our autumn, summer and spring this year, and of course last winter too.
He definitely hypes things.
Yeah, latest GFS looks like the main system tracks towards the lakes then transfers energy to a coastal storm off NH/ Maine.
Damn i miss the transfers south of me. We need those transfers in the northern Mid Atlantic, not new england for snow around here.. Doesn't look like it will happen this season. These Lake cutters are killing me.
Well Gee. I think the upgraded GFS saw my post! LOL!!!
It's new update shows Monday morning Big High over Quebec, cold and dry in New England. Storm coming from Gulf but stops over the Tennessee Valley and transfers energy to a coastal storm off North Carolina coast.
THIS IS WHATS NEEDED FOR SNOW HERE! So nice to see at least one friggin solution like this. Gees.
Instead of the front pushing north with a storm moving to Great Lakes, it holds south of here as the storm exits in the Mid Atlantic. That means any moisture falling will be falling into cold air thanks to that blocking High in Quebec!
Other models have different opinions of course.
Then you can see Monday afternoon storm is off the coast and the 850mb freezing line didn't move north much so any precip is snow north of Philly/South NJ.
And now the latest Euro... excited to show this... Wanna see what a storm not cutting to Great Lakes from south does?
Latest Update for Sunday 7pm Jan 4th showing a clipper type storm coming down the chute. Energy entering Montana here. Cool and clear for Ohio Valley and Northeast at this point.
By Tuesday afternoon (next week) the clipper is over the Great Lakes as a 1004mb low producing a snowstorm for Upper Midwest. Keep an eye on that crucial 540 dotted blue line (rain/snow line). As moisture comes in we are still in the cold sector. So it would be snowing Tuesday evening in New England and the storm is gaining strength! Everyone around the storm in the snow zone. Front sits "south of us". (DOES NOT GET PUSHED NORTH as a Great Lakes Storm track would do)
By Wednesday morning, BOOM. 988mb low over southern Maine, everyone in the cold and cold enough for snow. Snowstorm New England Tuesday evening to Wed evening. Very cold here and storm basically strengthens over New England as it moves across.
Who wants this solution to be right? COME ON EURO!
And actually we may get 2 weeks of cold weather here (minus the snow damn it), but a La Nina set up might be taking place in the atmosphere which Andrew says it may kill any chance of long duration cold for eastern 2/3rds
