Only dangerous if you smoke it.

Oh damn not that again

Anti-science people on a science based weather forum. Too funny.

16 and cloudy. 12z Euro has a half inch of snow falling here this evening lol
-
Monday is still on the table. Beyond that around Feb 2 or so.

Puking stellar dendrites in Lafayette lol

Amazing it is https://www.klfy.com/sky10-camera-network/

14 currently. Not sure it gets out of the teens today without any sun.

That would be better, but a favorable Pacific can deliver as long as it doesn't get completely hostile up top. GEFS has the AO trending closer to neutral around the end of the month.
-
Yes that part looks fine. As depicted it is not a bad pattern. See where it goes moving forward. Improvement in the PDO plus a late developing weak Nina (probably trending towards neutral late winter) might bode well.

Look at the Louisiana webcams and live vicariously. 6-8" with blizzard conditions.
-
This look isn't great but its workable, with a -WPO and close to neutral EPO, TPV in a good spot, and despite a +AO/NAO. Still a mechanism to deliver some cold at times. Just have to time a wave when the cold presses the gradient southward.

National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 600 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025 ... New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday night) Issued at 429 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025 Observations coming into the WFO this morning indicate that several locations along the coast have been gusting to 35 MPH along with visibilities in the 1/2 1/4 mile range in heavier snow bands. As a result, we`ve opted to issue what is, to this forecaster`s knowledge, the first blizzard warning ever issued by this office for Jasper and Orange counties as well as Cameron, Calcasieu, Jeff Davis, Acadia, Lafayette and Vermilion parishes.

Low of 9 Saw a 7 while driving a mile or so from my house out in an open area.

Or intentionally seeking out disinformation that supports an agenda.

12 here at 1020 pm Bedtime

Pretty much. Slow period in the snow tracking dept.

Early resistance based sensors were connected to a Wheatstone bridge. 4 wire RTDs connected to a constant current source are ideal especially when lead wire is significant. Results in zero error. Modern electronics accept 2, 3, or 4 wire connections with current source(s) for excitation, and measure the voltage as a function of resistance. From there the signal goes into an ADC.
-
I think we are ok as long as we have a pattern that brings Arctic or Continental Polar air southward. Too much Maritime polar air that moderates as it moves southward is more iffy. So yeah, we need a -AO and/or a -EPO.

Reduced to chasing snowstorms in Florida

I teach a course in instrumentation, including temperature measurement(one of my favorite topics)- sensor types, accuracy, tolerance, and calibration. NBS has been around since 1901. Thermometers in the early 1900s were as accurate as a tenth of a degree-plenty good enough for weather purposes. Platinum RTDs are used today in most cases for temperature measurement for industrial applications and weather, but require electrical/electronic circuits to measure the resistance change with temperature. Accuracy varies, and in some cases may be worse than the early thermometers.

I'm just over 11. Not sure what climo is anymore lol. Long term mean here is 18.5. But yes, deep winter. Not seen this since the 2013-14 and 14-15 winters. Jan 22 was snowier with the 3 storms totaling almost 20" here, but wasn't quite this cold.
-
Here ya go. Obligatory cabin in the snow pic.

Temp down to 12.5 at 730

14 this morning
