Remember I said that the cold of Tue-Wed is wave one. Well there’s another 2 clippers which dive down late next week into the weekend. This air mass which follows appears COLDER and this is the frigid opening to Feb.

If this series of clippers do the business, then there will be a solid foot of snow in the Big Cities when and if this extremely deep, frigid trough drops in. This could be one of the coldest starts to a Feb in the last 20 years.
