Yes, the cold air is heading for North America, but.

Canada, the Rockies and the Northern Plains are in North America , and it is looking like the cold air will concentrate there.

To get a complete turn around in our mostly mild winter in the Northeast is not very likely.  Latest developments in the MJO and Pacific Ocean temperatures , do not favor a long cold spell in New Jersey.   From Jan. 18th to about the end of the month, may bring us a short lived cold spell and maybe a winter storm.  

A winter storm could be snow, ice, rain or all three.

As I stated earlier this month, the Pacific jet stream winds, a southeast ridge and unfavorable ridge in the Pacific ocean continue to work against us.

It will be very cold in Canada the next couple of weeks.

12Z Euro looks cold, so it has everyone guessing as to just how this will go.  Stay tuned. 

The bottom line is we won't know until it is 4 or 5 days away.
