So, the cold and potentially snowy pattern has delivered on the cold for the eastern US and the snow, at least for the south and mid-Atlantic, but obviously not for most of our area (except far SNJ), but that might just change soon. With regard to the pattern, it looks to reload more cold weather for most of this week after seasonable days from now through Monday and then things look like they'll become more active with regard to storms with a few potential winter storms possibly coming next weekend through about 1/24. Beyond that it's looking like late January could also be fairly cold.
Nothing definitive yet on winter storms, but the Euro and GFS (and the AIFS - the AI version of the Euro, which has been quite accurate this winter) have occasionally been showing winter storms for our region (not necessarily all snow especially for 95 and the coast) and the ensembles all show elevated chances of snow for that the 1/19-1/24 period vs. normal. It's worth noting that all of those models have been showing nada after today's event through about 1/17 for 10+ days so it's not like they "always" show snow in the winter - far from it).
The CPC temperature outlook is for a bit below normal temps for 1/18-1/24 and the their precip outlook is for a bit above normal precip - that combo obviously makes wintry weather a bit more likely than usual, but it not a guarantee of seeing wintry weather. Also, it not being as cold as this past week or so likely means that we could see some mixed precip events (whereas the 1/6 and 1/11 storms ended up having so much cold air in place that the storm tracks were suppressed (and poor timing prevented phasing for today's storm, which could've brought a coastal storm closer).
