Looking For Winter

very brief post to let y'all know I'm still alive and well...and still looking for winter.  There is a hint of winter wx for the second part of January, but I do believe Farm Show week will go off without any real wintry woes.  But 4 graphics showing that the numerical modeling is looking for winter as well.  Remember, a negative Arctic Oscillation and a negative North Atlantic Oscillation suggests cold and stormy for the eastern part of North America.  So here you go...First the NAO from the GFS...

And its ensembles...obviously the operational run is far more bullish on winter than its ensembles members...

Now the AO from the GFS...

And the GFS ensembles for the AO...look at how the operational really nose-dives negative!

That is all...gotta go for a walk in the CDHS parking lot...

Have a good Thursday!

AA:  Looking for winter...and for you you recent Daddy!
