I don’t think there has been any cold/snowy runs since a few days ago.

The weeklies come out later today, so we shall see what they say.

Gfs showing more consistency over the Euro though.
GEFS and GEPS are also consistent

Thanks. Frankly, that really makes me skeptical about the GFS' arctic blast forecasts.
It's called clown range for a reason.
