Current look at the 850mb temps and 500mb heights. If that Vortex can stay that far south, no question we would have a cold pattern stay in place... but watch what happens...





According to the GFS this is how it will look in 10 days. You can see the orientation of the coldest air not favoring the U.S. In fact, to me areas in white are narrow and pretty much lacking this winter.


I have to look at my files and see if there was a bigger area in the Northern hemisphere of colder than -20C . When there's not a lot to go around, it's hard for any place to get frigid unless your in Canada of course or Alaska... or Asia.. Asia looks like they are having a crazy winter.




Here's February 13, 2015.. You guys tell me.. doesn't it look like there was more coverage of cold last year? Maybe because it was Feb vs Jan.

Chance of light snow overnight in far northern Georgia! Though I may be asleep if/when it comes.

The Canadian model








Next few days will be proper If we had a little snow pack temps would be even colder.
