Next week is normal . Maybe one day of 40’s You and a few others had days of 50’s and furnace lol . Busted

DFW made it to 80*F yesterday, and yet that was still a few degrees shy of the record high (83*F).

Avergae highs for DFW this time of year are in the mid 50s.

Looks quite good bro. Why is that light bar on your Lynx crooked(maybe just the picture?) Nice machines.

So enabling for deniers... ... particularly, deniers all carry one particular almost necessary trait in order to be denying, and that's the inability ( perhaps a psychological limitation/aptitude - ) to simultaneously be aware of what they are looking at, with respect to keeping the big picture in mind. Their processing disconnects those two, and of course when limited by that state of awareness...that defaults their reason preferentially to just what is perceivable via their personal senses - in the construction/impression of reality. This is a long winded to way of describing the 'pin-head' nimrod with head up fucking asshole. In this case above, the cold over N/A is just perfect to jam head deep up myopic butt holes, and claim that is the reality. I think it is uneven evolution. I think there is a gene, a very necessary one ... for contemplation and objective reasoning that includes a broader dimension that what is merely available via the biologic sight and sound. If people don't have this, they are prone to denial - in anything. The rest is just immoral douchery... ( the preceding is tongue-in-cheek cynicism that somehow smacks as having some real value )

This event is very close to being a whopper for I-85 north. It’s a classic look for a major winter storm in the upper southeast. We just need a bit more help with digging and tilt. It would be really nice if our source region for cold wasn’t baking right now.

Heading to Quebec for 3 days this weekend which usually guarantees snow at the house, got probably 200 miles on, but 140 being trail maintenance either on a skandic or my tundra, but did have a nice 60 mile ride with the wife Sunday from the house. If we pick up 4-5 inches through Sunday we'll be starting to roll here, looks like minor QPF Friday into Saturday with the warmup.

Any rain with this weekend storm system will be extremely beneficial. Severe drought has exploded in area across the southeast and now 1/3 of NC (up from less than 1% last week) is in the severe drought category. Western areas and mountains should do well but central piedmont and coastal plain look to whiff, again

up to 41f already.

It’s a shame we get a high building in and can’t get more than a flip to snow at the end because that is a good SWfE track, airmass just sucks of course. Maybe all snow LCI to LEW?

Fight!

Congrats on 55 tomorrow evening. And probably again next week.

12z Nam looks to get a weak secondary going off the SE coast of LI which helps back the winds out of the NNE bringing some colder air down to the coast to keep things mainly frozen up here, The other models are starting to trend in that same direction as well.

You get these warmer temps and man it feels good. Fantasy looks showing up in the models and staying in the fantasy range. There’s something nice about all this.

Like I said. Crazy. In the entire 152-year climate record, the most for Detroit was 94.9" in 2013-14 & the least 12.9" in 1936-37, one of the dustbowl winters.

I'll say...I have zero clue how anyone forecasts in Anchorage or Alaska in general Anchorage is an insane market and often times can get screwed in the snowfall department because they get downsloped but they can also get wind winds because the winds can funnel. The airport can get like 3" of snow and a few miles away they're pulling off 20". But there are times anchorage can get absolutely dumped on too.

No 50’s no 60’s. All busts on the torch in New England. Hilarious

Yay, Windham and Salem, NH will get snow and ice, while it transitions to rain 200 feet north of my door steps.

All 3 metro airports were BN for the first week of January, even with a double digit AN day yesterday. RIC is above normal for the month because yesterday was so warm.

Lol. We talk real seasons. But all kidding aside, It’s a personal thing..And it’s all good. I always go/went by the real season. It snows and can be cold in March some years..the snow is counted on the season. I do a lot of sledding in March, So it just Works better in my mind.

clearly colder solution comparing the prior 4 cycles ... 66 to 72 hours is going over to snow in the pretty cinema ... almost down to the pike. there's been steadily more commitment to a secondary, albeit weak.

Fairbanks usually has cold snaps that last for about a month and then a warmer regime enters (warmer = above zero for highs). They've been below 0 all but one day since Dec 5, and below -10 most of that time (with several days with highs below -40 and lows to -50, but that's in the cold sink there). -19 anomaly for Dec. When it has warmed up it's snowed; 24" in Dec (avg 10"), just deep, deep winter there, at least another week to come. Anchorage was only 6° BN in Dec and dry, only 5" vs 18" normal. But they just pulled down 19" this week and are running-17 this month, with more to come snow- and cold-wise. And then Juneau: -12° anomaly in December with 82" of snow vs 18" normal. Normal amount of liquid (6.5") just it usually falls as liquid mostly. Second-snowiest month on record. And they're about to get a lot of rain on top of it. Eaglecrest might be above the snow line, should have great skiing. $57 per day if you buy a 10-ride pass.

Oh, I know that....but snowfall if the main reason I do this, so I'm more interest in that, than whether it only drops to 29 at night instead of 27 on average.

Baltimore had 80 inches of snow in 2009-10 (might I add this total was reached by 2/15... the temp reached 90 by 4/6), and 0.2 inches of snow in 2022-23. PHL had 78.7 inches of snow in 2009-10, and trace in 1972-73, as well as 0.3 inches of snow in 2019-20 and 2022-23, and 0.8 inches of snow in 1997-98.

In spite of our significant January thaw, (I had 61f yesterday), the swamp is still frozen over. Tidewater is not, but some skim ice. It won't take much to get us back to winter; should the pattern fall that way. January 2025 was very wintery in our neighborhood, (significantly AN snowfall, well BN temp). Might be tough to do that 2 years in a row.
