Warmth OR cold

While finally the NAO has gone + leading to some milder air for parts of the east/south east, and the AO had briefly went to neutral (as seen below) the MONSTER PNA staying + will pretty much cancel out the NAO and AO warming effects on the east.

It seems we just cant get a break from this relentless cold (well here in my area we have had a 50F day or two so thats a plus) but still it looks like more arctic air is on its way this weekend.
Sat morning

Thats some cold stuff for me anyway and the NE looks to get into some single# once again, BUT good news for me at least is the NAO does not look to be west based for a prolonged time frame so cold air will move into the SE/MA then after a few days some moderation at the very least in temps, or at least it would SEEM that way with no good west based -NAO still the cold will stick around thanks to our big +PNA ridge and the ensembles of the models show this too, so much for any warm ups, also maybe some more snow storms for the east???
