pretty impressive, I don’t know if I’ll ever see that again.

Amazing with all the cold most of South Dakota and half of Minny and Wisconsin don't have snow.

I will say I don't recall as much ice on the local pond since I suppose end of 2017 early 2018. Last year was a week of ice that was skatable...maybe even less. 

Saw a lot of ice fisherman and kids playing hockey on the ponds this week in my travels, seems like when I was a kid we did that every year but who knows, that was a long time ago.

I would be happy to warm up, melt everything and do it again.  Dry and cold is very tough on old skin.  Lots of skin creams etc.  I am looking forward to summer but will be happy with snow-if it comes.

My feet crack in this weather, have to rub O'Keefes on them every night.

My friend in Calabash NC got 3 inches, cancelled todays golf league, I'm down to 8 right now, not like last two nights but still pretty good.

Bump

Only the 20 year anniversary of the Cape's biggest snowstorm in recorded history. Not too shabby in other parts of Eastern MA/RI either. 

 

Looking at that radar I don't think I did that great but I don't remember the details.

2005 was good, 2015 was great, what does 2025 bring?

just checking in for the day (got called into work unexpectedly), got down to -14 last night and my honest opinion: I thought it would have felt worse than what it did...

can someone give me a TLDR on the 12z suite?

 

I've been in 35 below twice, it hurts at that temp.

They can go into thermal hibernation called brumation and actually survive in icy waters for quite extended periods of time.  They do need their noses above the water or ice to breathe. There are a bunch of photos online showing their little snouts protruding through ice-covered bodies of water. 

Snakes do the same thing so not too sure the cold will make a dent in the python problem.

Ponds should have thick ice before this cold snap ends and last into February. Once it gets pretty thick takes a lot to melt it.

A few clippers upcoming, including one late Saturday/Sunday. Sometimes these can blossom into something last minute, all they need is some extra moisture injection and boom. Looks like the Tuesday into Wednesday has some inverted trough potential. 

If not here will probably ignite PFs snow machine for a while.

COCblock?

We have a block between the Davis and Trump Straits.

Looks you guys will get the snow machine turned on again in a few days.

It looks like we could scab and inch or two here and there before the possible storm in Feb, looks like the cold stays in some form for a while.

A friend sent me this from North Myrtle Beach SC 29° down there as of 11am and they got 5 inches of snow with a little crust of ice on top of it, everything is shut down, they have no way to deal with it and it’s not going anywhere for a couple of days.

My friend bought a place in that area too, he bought it to escape the cold and snow so he could golf year-round, no golf for a few days there.

We had -5 this morning, coldest in quite a while.

My brother said snow has begun in Hilton Head.  
i’ll ask him to send me some pictures.

Started just north of Myrtle Beach too. Coming down pretty good.

This mornings low at HIE was -23  or there abouts. Temp is dropping like a rock and headed towards the -20s again tonight. House is pooping away

Maybe get some frost quakes.

A friend of mine in North Carolina is expecting 6 inches tonight and its in the 20s, this is his winter place to get away from the cold weather and snow.

I had -10° when I left here…went up to the top of the hill and the car thermo hit -6°. Went down to the bottom in the river valley and it quickly fell to -13°. A guy in town just a little higher than me only got to 0°.

When I drive down from Maine on cold mornings the temp jumps around like that, one day it was a 20 degree jump, from -12 to 8 in about one mile. It's near the ocean so I guess that's why the difference. On the good side, ponds should be safe, even the large ones.

Do I understand?   Within 30 days all federal agencies must refer to the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America?

Yes, and we might own Greenland too.

Yesterday’s 12z euro had -4° at 2m for here this morning. Today’s has -12° for tomorrow morning. Maybe some -20s in the sheltered valleys even in S NH tonight?

Already 7.1° here.

My wife said her car therm had -4 at about 7am when she backed out of the garage.

Yeah...and the Midwest & northern Plains.  Shockingly low snowfall (and even worse on the SDD front) in so many areas so far this season.  

Anchorage has only had 4.1" of snow since Nov 17th, with an approx +12F departure over that period. 

That's usually good for us.

With it staying cold this week down there.  Folks will be trapped in homes with no heat , no plows.. Wish we were there 

Yeah, that snows going to stay around a few days.

Earlier models had 12-19 inches, looks like they're a bit lower now, probably still records broken.

Looking at radar they should shatter the record.
