Looks like Big Joe Bastardi thinks that major blocking will drop a hammer on the Midwest in February. Overall, a cold winter? I hope so!

Looks very promising I hope it comes true.

All that read means you will be at -20C instead of -35C

That would be perfect!...hopefully too cold for much snow which might mean I'll see my prairie sun this winter. Plus my husband will be tickled pink...these past few winters have aged him (he drives daily across this province).

Brazilian met grams showing Chicago below freezing for much of the winter, with even snow in May? I've always wonder what kind of skill this model has.

So basically, the Canadian Prairies will get a cold December, a VERY cold January, and a slightly colder-than-nomal February? Is that the take home message?

Good thing I'm away from mid-December to mid-February
