I sure hope the chance for snow this week dwindles as I don’t wish to work in this type of cold weather. Going to be hard for chemicals to be effective as well unless it has calcium chloride mixed with salt.

So what do you guys think cause I55 to freeze up this morning on the meramec bridge? Was is moisture from the river or something else? Believe there was snow showers/grauple in the area this morning.

My only question is, what are the school districts going to do this time?

Man there is just no end to the cold on all models long term. Could be some aggressive short term warm ups but it just keeps on rebuilding. Mix that with the southern stream getting active and I'm gonna be eating my words from the other night.

Looks like a good ice storm pattern setting up in the mid to late week of the 1st full week of February into mid month before the cold should unload on us again into the first half of March.
Strong ironclad southern ridge with deep cold pool still lingering across Canada into the northern third of the US.

It was -14 when I went to get my blood drawn yesterday at 8:30 am. Local reporting station at Aurora Municipal Airport hit -25 yesterday and -24 this morning. Chilly!

Of interesting note is that the Japanese Meteorological Agency and even the CFS/CPC are showing a big shift to a colder, delayed start of Spring with March now being shown as below normal to well below normal and even April trending from above average to now near average if not slightly below in regards to temperatures. So it seems we'll have a 'false' Spring late next week into the 4-7th of February then a gradual step down back to winter with a bit more variance in the pattern with several days of cold a couple days of average to slightly above normal temps only to drop back below normal again and so forth. I could see some stark similarities to the upcoming Spring as there was last year. Time will tell if it will be as extreme or more extreme, but the hints are out there. Take note though that like last year, once warm weather does arrive and decide to stay it will get hot real fast. Another we skip Spring and go straight to almost mid-Summer like kind of pattern.

Will Wind Chill Watches get hoisted for the area soon? I actually didn't realize there was such a thing but makes sense.

Pattern looks cutty to me, so several backside hits seem possible.
I'll go with Lambert recording an additional 10 inches of snow through March.

Looks like after a brief warm up, the cold air quickly re-establishes itself across western Canada/Rockies. The southern jet is going to come back in play again which will push warm and moist air over the arctic air trying to ooze down from our NW. Ya, that's a pretty good ice setup for the middle of the country

Sounds like that se ridge is going to outdo the arctic. I noticed the tendency for mid latitude cyclones to cut. We need the nao to turn negative to prevent the cutters from occurring.

The Euro also was recently showing it in the 50's Thursday and that was bogus. We always warm up ridiculously on the backside of a retreating Arctic high so can't say that's not expected but I don't expect any prolonged warm-up. Maybe 2 days.

It is unfortunate it is expected to warm back up. Only a few days ago it looked like it would be below freezing for highs got the foreseeable future. I think it could get pretty wild with that Arctic air so close by and a redeveloping southern jet. We need a -NAO to keep the cold air from being transient though a blocking pattern would also likely suppress the storm track down to the Gulf and we don't want that either.
