Jerry...it looks like it is time to start the Soviet Snowcover Spectacular thread. The first blotches of white are appearing on the map, with a big cold outbreak on tap over the next 10 days. I have doubts as to whether it has any significance...but it's something to track anyway.

I have a branch down in my yard. About 15' long, 2" in diameter. I won't soon forget Jose.

Jose could churn up the waters From DE on up, making for a more hostile environment as Maria approaches.

Wasn't the snowmagedon winter that crushed the Mid-Atlantic...I think 2009-2010....a strong la nina?

The first trough goes sailing past....I have a bad feeling about this. Very bad. (graphic from Mike Ventrice's Twitter feed):

10 days to reorient that trough just a bit.

24 hours later and it still scares me:

As the owner of an insurance agency...this is one scary fugly map:

Is there any chance that as we get closer to the event and the models ingest better data, we could see a "north trend" for the eclipse?

With such a strong upper low, I would imagine the lapse rates will be steep. As long as we can keep the boundary below freezing, there would be good snow growth and somewhat powdery snow. A lot of wind too. B-B-B-lizz-ar, ah forget it.

This looks like a good wind producer for SE areas too. Those isobars get tightly packed.

Full moon Sunday

It literally caught on while the worst of the storm was in progress.
