The coldest air to our south and west has been the theme for months, indicating to me there really has been no pattern change at least in regards to cold air and the east coast.
From what I understand this air mass entering the U.S. is a dense air mass from Siberia. A heavy air mass like this may be hard to displace. So I am wondering if the models are overdoing the quick switch to way above normal temperatures. Not saying it won't get mild but not as fast as they indicate.
Yes but one is higher than the other. I have 2 because of a big pine that blocks the main anemometer from getting a SW wind. The other one takes care of that.
Albany snowfall records since the 1880s. I believe their average since then is about 60-65 inches

Some lightning reported near Virginia Beach, where the coastal must be taking place. If it can stay offshore and be fairly intense, that snow line may head back southeast at some point.
Yea between record cold heading into the upper mid west and a potential bomb nor'easter along the east coast, the ingredients could be in place. Of course still a week away.
