Those winds are associated with a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) event that could lead to colder temperatures for part of Europe and the Eastern United States depending on where it sets up and how strong it is. The GEFS is coming in a little more aggressive that the west to east flow we normally see could reverse direction some by the beginning of the New Year. If that happens it could open the door for colder air.

This will be a very long stretch of the imagination and wish-casting!!

This morning while in the deer stand I saw 2 separate, massive flocks of small black birds flying south. Both made the sound of approaching rain and wind. The numbers of birds was far into the 10's of thousands in each flock. It was amazing to hear and see.

I will now interpret that into we will have blizzard conditions within the next 2 weeks. Ha!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! It is so nice to know that this site has a permanent future.

The GFS has been trending back to warm again. Unbelievable. No consistency at all and very puzzling.

So many moving parts globally the models are have a tough time locking in on a solution. I think maybe mathematical models have issues when complex changes occur...I think maybe one has to look at the past and see the future...models may not lock and load till a week out. Time will tell

The FV-3 GFS dumps the cold southward. Almost opposite of the regular GFS. Go figure.....
