It's going to get much colder...

 As you might have heard already, we are in a favorable pattern for snow. However, we still haven't gotten any snow at all, even in the favorable pattern for snow. However, this means that if we get a good potential for a good storm, the chances of it happening increase. But, as you read by the title, its going to get colder. 

As you can see by the image above, there is indeed going to be colder temperatures in the next 6-10 days, and chances are leaning towards being colder than normal. We have sufficient cold air for the time period of 1-22-2021 to 1-26-2021. This means that any precip potential could easily give us a snowstorm. But that's not all.

Now this one shows a much stronger and higher chance for cold air! This means that any precipitation in the period of 01-24-2021 to 01-30-2021 is probably going to be snow. Expect temperatures in this period to be much, much colder than the temperatures we have now. But there's even more. 

Now, this thing really puts a good scenario for snow in our area. Why? Precipitation(not snow, just all precipitation in general), is supposed to be above average during the time period of 01-24-2021 to 01-30-2021. With the much colder air, this could easily bring us some snow. For the first image I showed you, the precipitation is supposed to be barely below average for half of the county(eastern side). However, we can still get some good snowstorms in that period too. 

This image from Justin Berk, a meteorologist, shows that after Friday the 22nd, the temperatures start to plunge and become colder. But, it's not just one cold push. The cold is going to be sustained, from the last part of this month to the beginning of February. That is good for snow, because it gives a good period of time for some snow to fall.

In conclusion, we will start to see colder temperatures after this week, and the cold air will be sustained, while we are in a favorable pattern for snow, giving us a good chance for snowstorms. The likeliest time for significant snowstorms is between 01-24-2021 to 0-30-2021, as we get more data.
