@EricWFMJ I saw the CPC released their initial April outlooks today. I was just curious if this aligns to what you are seeing in the long range? At least there doesn’t appear to be a cold signal, though this isn’t a strong warm signal either.

Who's the winner in your bracket of best months? My bracket is mostly weather-related, although December makes the tournament because of Christmas. November, January, February? They don't even get invited to the dance.

@TylerSebreezy I think CAK recorded 72 at some point today.

I sorted some of the highest wind gusts by geographical location of Ohio. A truly memorable day for wind speeds across the state. #OHwx

@Parkeology Ok I had to cheat a little because my brain just couldn’t wrap around this. It is truly crazy how different it really looked before Cheshire cafe went in. It looked like an extension of the castle. I found the wall here. Now I’m gonna stare at it when we go next month. Lol

This giant unadorned stone wall used to be plainly visible in the Magic Kingdom. It’s still there today, only now it’s mostly out of sight. Do you know where it is and what’s different about it today?

@EvanPatel11 Yep! On slower days we will literally ride the ferry taxi between Fort Wilderness and MK for an hour or so back and forth just to take in the views and have a nice boat ride on the lake. It’s even more stunning when it’s a crystal clear day like in your photos. Super relaxing.

Traveling to the Magic Kingdom by boat gives you some amazing views. The Grand Floridian Resort is just so striking. The skyline is incredible and timeless.

@EricWFMJ Sheesh the operational Euro drops the hammer on the cold again mid month. The Ensemble run at least keeps us in the 30s but I guess this is the price we pay for the warmth coming. Starting to question if March will even shake out above avg as a whole now with this kind of cold.

Damp at times today, but it will be mild. Even warmer Friday, Saturday...but an approaching cold front can trigger showers/storms Saturday afternoon. Level 2 (out of 5) risk for severe weather is our area. Damaging winds the #1 concern. Window is probably something like 1pm-6pm.

@EricWFMJ I did notice that the deterministic models for both GFS and Euro suggest even a few days in the 70s centered around the 8-10th, and mid 70s even. Could be wishful thinking, but interesting both models are picking up on the high warmth

Warmest stretch of 2026 so far coinciding with the return of Daylight Saving Time and post-7pm sunsets? Looking forward to 10 or so days from now.

@EricWFMJ Are there any other teleconnections in play in this mid March time frame that would work in our favor, in the event the SSW does dislodge some cold into NA? Sometimes if that southeast ridge flexes its muscle it can deflect some of the cold away

@MarkJWeather Thank you!!

@MikeParry86 @EricWFMJ @BetsyKling @JasonNweather @NWSCLE Great shot!

Caught this view just this evening of Mercury at the top, the Moon, and Venus way down at the bottom. The Moon will actually pass over Mercury if you’re in far southern North America later this evening. @EricWFMJ @BetsyKling @JasonNweather @MarkJWeather @NWSCLE

@EricWFMJ Starting to see some glimmers of hope in the long range models that we could finally break out of this. Do you think there’s some truth in it?

Monday AM: A pretty quiet week of weather until Friday, when a potent "clipper" system will spread some snow our way. It looks to be mostly during the daylight hours and will probably bring a few inches.

@EricWFMJ I don’t have a weather station but I follow the one up the road from me in Rootstown. This one registered -19.1° this morning. What’s even more incredible is that it’s already warmed to +12°, which is over a 31° increase in roughly 4 hours.

Eye-watering cold out there this morning. Let's do it again Saturday!

@NWSCLE Thank you! Are the airport readings on here the official site readings? They’re listed as trained spotter so I wasn’t sure if that meant it’s someone near the airport or the actual airport’s reading.

@MikeParry86 Hi Mike, Here is a link to our latest summary; mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?…

A prolonged stretch of bitter cold is expected across the area, with highs struggling to get past the teens & low 20s & lows below zero. Long durations of these temperatures increase the risk of burst pipes, power issues, dead batteries, & other infrastructure impacts. #clewx

@EricWFMJ Goodness. February looks like a total lost cause for anything near normal temp-wise. Are we looking to March now to finally break this pattern? This is brutal.

Monday: some flurries and a snow shower around today; new accumulations mainly under an inch. Wind chills can get as low as -20 or so late tonight/early Tuesday.

@EricWFMJ My hopes got up when you mentioned the cold eases after the first few days of February, but then I just saw the CPC’s freshly issued 3-4 week outlook. This winter really wants to just winter on and on 😕

@EvanPatel11 This is awful news. It was always a highlight for our family. And before this, we would do the same class when it was offered at Disney Quest. I wonder if it will be offered anywhere else in the future.

The animation experience will be closing permanently soon.

@EricWFMJ Without really forecasting anything for Spring and Summer, do emerging El Nino’s typically have a strong impact on our Spring and Summers? The model here seems to bring it on fairly quickly, and strongly too, by June/July.

@Blog_Mickey I don’t recall well but was the seating at Tortuga Tavern ever part of Peco’s Bills? I don’t ever remember Tortuga Tabern operating as its own place, but then again I’ve never been there in the summer recently.

Is Tortuga Tavern Permanently Closed at Magic Kingdom? blogmickey.com/2026/01/is-tor…

@EricWFMJ Curious if your thoughts on January have changed at all. From what I’ve seen the past few days, it looks very cold. Certainly the first 10 days look mostly below average, and I saw the recent Euro weeklies have a cold signal for latter half of month.

Monday AM: A lot going on over the next 24 hours. Wind chills will settle into the lower teens today. Most of the problematic snow showers will be from mid-afternoon into tonight.
