January will get as cold as in the days of yore. Near zero to below zero temperatures will be widespread, later this month.

Snowfall is likely Friday and Saturday but, this time New England will get the heavy snow.  NJ will miss the worst of it, most likely.  The forecasts will be fine tuned Tuesday or Wednesday, and do not be surprised if a big change develops.  Wait and see is the best policy.

  Today will be the last mild day for some time to come.  Fog, " the snow eater " is rapidly melting the snowpack today.  A return of the cold air begins Sunday night and tomorrow.

There are growing indications that the remainder of the winter will be colder and perhaps snowier than average.  A turn to mild, as originally forecasted by many, is growing much less likely.  There is talk already of a truly cold spell of weather ahead.

All this is due to a major stratospheric warming which causes cold weather here in the northeast.  The latest forecast, for the extended temperature outlook, is for all lower 48 states to run below normal!  A cross Polar wind flow may set up which brings us our coldest weather.  " Siberian Express"?
