I have been noticing some interesting trends in the NHEM. The northern Caspian is already frozen, the Hokkaido ice bridge is forming, Saginaw bay is frozen, Hudson's Bay is waaaay ahead of last year (I believe full freeze up was January 17th), etc. How cold is the NHEM compared to recent trends? Is it a lot colder than "normal", or am I just being fooled by comparison to last year?

Jeez, I've been out of town...but what happened up there?

It's Belichick After Jordan threw him out of the house.

06z Skynet also looks good, but Skynet seems to lose value inside of four days. And don't overlook the fact that I will be out of town....that applies strong positive forcing to any winter storm scenario.

Could it also be 1", with the dry air eating away the first hours of precip?

Oh no, there is far more than a chance. I will be in friggin Florida.

Skynet with a robust little snowstorm early next week.

Where can I see a continental view of these? The Pivotal free site has only the US view.

Poundtown down here. 1/4".

We had some flakage down here. Fear not, I took the proper precautions and stayed safe....

When is CC going to give us Richmond's climate?

That's a good thing. You don't want paint on your windows.

I like the decorations. Nothing says holiday cheer like nice lights, wooden soldiers, and a layer of ice!

I am guessing this is a classic I84, then Mass Pike to 495 r/s line. Typical for a season's first gambit.

Throw caution to the wind!
