As Cambium pointed out North America has been shivering this December as a result of a monster Pacific Ridge that has no intention of breaking down soon
CONUS temperature anomaly as of today
Now awaits the Strat warming and the Greenland Block!
Yeah, we're all learning (or remembering) that the NAO doesn't have to be negative when you have the proper blocking in the Pacific sending a trough into the U.S. Add a vortex break from the poles in our direction and boom. Winter.
I adore this forecast I don't see often. Bottom one relates to my location better than the top.
"Current" look at the temps at 850mb. One sided tilt.. Asia to North America. That's been the theme this year and you don't change that on a fast pace. Upper flow take a lot of time and a massive amount of energy to shift patterns so I don't see Europe getting the vortex's..
Playing the future loop, the Polar vortex's just sit and spin and drop into Canada and U.S and Asia on & on and disappear as they try to loop towards Europe. Looks like fun times here January and February. We'll see.
BTW, that Blue blob is the Polar vortex -25°C. I rarely see the whites deep in the U.S let alone the blues. We'll see.
Lake effect snow in Chicago...I remember a storm, 1960 something...1967... Our dog disappeared in the yard, the snow came up clear to the porch, which had eight steps.
Heavy snow, wet. The electic was out for days. Never seen a storm like that since!
Prediction of lows by NOAA dropped from 7 F to 2 F. Temperatures are well below average, but I would not call it record setting cold. The record low here for January is -17.5 F in 1983. I highly doubt temperatures will drop that low here.
I like it cold, but single digits are stretching my cold tolerance bounds.
That's it snow bound i give u permission to send me a cold snap!!!! I'm sick and tired of this rainy,cloudy,gloomy, hot weather!!! it's been in the 80s almost every day this month and at night we only cool off into the 70s. this would be fine if it wasn't winter!!. I have yet to have a single night with temps below 50. snowbound send me a good cold snap that lasts a few days.

Given the options of who to ask up here I'm probably your safest bet (Manitoba will send you to the abyss). So will do my best (Manitoba can send their joys to Texas). As if that will happen but I can dream!!!
UKMET forecast at 30 mb vs warming event of Jan 1994, with severe cold outbreak then too
