Cold Signal? Maybe.

The map above ( from University of Wyoming )  is of the stratosphere at the North Pole.  It has a much different appearance than a week ago and may mean a turn to colder in a week or so.  We shall see as this is a teleconnection. It does not influence our weather directly but it can foreshadow future weather patterns.  I believe that this represents a cross polar wind flow. Stay tuned.


EUROPE has turned dramatically colder and we may be next.  But then, we have seen such predictions of a pattern change all winter and none have proved out to be correct.  According to Blizz92 at Weatherunderground, it will get cold for about 5 days around February 7th., then, back to mild weather.  He does not see a pattern shift.
