My understanding has been that the p v was to split and send down at least two cold lobes into central then the eastern US late this month, but the MJO would be somewhat muting, and delaying its effects here on the east coast. Was it a pile of rubbish i've been reading, or still being worked out?

I'm not disagreeing with you. Maybe my constant search for cold and snow has given me cold bias algorithms. Is there still two trains of thought on this or has there been some type of agreement. From what I'm gathering the Europeans don't seem to agree with this but everything i've read, is a few hours to a day old so maybe a lot has changed.

It moves like a tortoise.I like it. If it does the old loopy loop or retrogrades on the next panel, I'll take.

I'm not sure how close to home you're looking ,but was up and out periodically until about 4:00 am. I snapped this photo on my walk around 1:00am and the snow was basically done except for some very light dandarites. I didn't measure but .1 sounds about right.

It snowed here just long enough to get in a decent walk last night. I ended up with a dusting. Until yesterday there was very little grond showing in my general area. I'm still holding on to a few inches of snow in most spots. The 1.75" sleet, top layer seems like it will be the last thing to go. I snapped a few photos last night on my walk just to show what i'm still holding onto around here . The top picture was taken at the entrance of the ABWE religious organization in Fairview⁹ township, which sits on the north facing bottom of elevated terrain. The bottom picture was taken at Roof park in Fairview township, which has unidirectional sun exposure and still holding on to it's snow very well considering what it's been through the past couple of days. Any exposed ground I did find on my walk last night was still frozen solid at the surface.

Light snow falling Fairview township 10:21 pm

We just started mixing with the little bit of snow here in Fairview township couple minutes ago.

You really have completely closed yourself off to unlearning or learning anything. Your confidence has put massive limitations on your ability to absorb our process any kind knowledge or understanding usefully. AI Overview Pollution does not have a harder time forming in winter; in fact, winter and cold conditions often make air pollution worse and more concentrated. Cold, dense air inhibits dispersion, while phenomenon like temperature inversions trap pollutants near the ground, causing them to linger longer than in summer. Key Reasons Pollution is Worse in Winter: Temperature Inversions: Warm air can trap a layer of cold, stagnant air near the ground, acting like a lid that prevents pollutants (from cars, wood burning, and industry) from dispersing. Dense Air: Cold air is denser and slower-moving, which allows pollutants to build up rather than being swept away by wind. Increased Emissions: Cold starts for vehicles and increased, consistent use of home heating (wood stoves, furnaces) release higher amounts of pollution. Reduced Precipitation: Lower rainfall in winter means fewer pollutants are washed out of the air. While some photochemical smog components are higher in summer, the overall concentration of pollutants, especially particulate matter (PM2.5), is generally higher in winter.

I'm easy to please. If I can get in a couple mile walk under some mood flakes, it gets chalked up as a win in my book. Yesterday was the first day that my pack took a hard hit. I lost more snow yesterday than all the other days combined since the storm.

@Ruin it's one thing if you're just simply saying you've never seen it. It's another one if you're trying to say it doesn't happen. . Every single spring and fall we have no shortage of air quality alerts on windy days, it's not a rare thing by any means. Air quality alerts in the winter is a little more rare but it's not unheard of either. Air quality alerts are frequently issued during windy conditions. While wind often disperses pollution, it can also transport smoke from distant wildfires or stir up dust, sand, and ash, causing AQI levels to spike into dangerous orange, red, or purple zones. High winds can transport pollutants across large distances, worsening air quality far from the source. Pollution and particulate matter (PM) generally travel, persist, and accumulate more in cold, dry air. Cold air is denser and sits closer to the ground, trapping pollutants, while low humidity prevents moisture from washing particles out of the atmosphere. Thermal inversions often occur, acting as a lid that keeps pollutants trapped. Humidity can help hold down pollen particles, but the overall effect on allergy symptoms is complex and often negative. While moisture can weigh down pollen grains and stop them from traveling far, high humidity often leads to increased mold and dust mite populations, which can exacerbate allergies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

It's not fog brother. Wind can often be what's transporting pollution and particulate to you. It's all relative to where the pollution, particulate, pollen radiation, etc, source region,and you are located. It also appears to me that there is an excess amount of particulate in the air for this time of year. What you're seeing in the pictures below is not moisture or mist. I'm outside every night with a headlamp. My eyes are well, trained to tell the difference between solid particles and water droples. It's not the larger particles that actually cause the respiratory issues, It's the smaller particles making the picture look grainy, and the ones you can't see, that are responsible for the majority of respiratory and analergy issues.. Cpa is also subject to what are known as oreographic pollen and or pollution showers later in the day and night as the atmosphere cools ,due to our eastern proximitie to the Appalachian mountains . Cpa can dbe a rough place for people with allergies and health problems due to air quality ,especially when the atmosphere starts to cool after those hot and warm days in the spring and fall, when the pollen and mold counts are elevated.

Apparently it's from particulate and other pollutants getting trapped under a persistent inversion facilitated by the extremely cold air we had as of late according to the NWS.

Just had a brief a grauple shower here.

Sorry, it was that bad? I 'm glad you're on your way. Having VVS never makes things any less complicated.

Knowing you, you've probably already researched it. There's quite interesting history that goes along with opioids and opiates being used as cough suppressants that makes for some good reading while you're down. I've always found the history on opioids and opiates interesting to begin with. From Asia, Nazi Germany to the modern day streets of Kesington, Philadelphia, it has quite the interesting and horrifing history.
