Less bugs, "cleaner air" and lesser dew points.

I wonder with this pattern would mean a Thanksgiving snow?

From my experience when the Polar Vortex splits off from the North Pole, where ever it goes is where the brutal cold temps go for the next 1-2 months at least. It sets the overall pattern in place.

We saw this last year when it happened mid December and U.S saw some crazy departures in January. Not to get too technical but the Vortex does not move fast so in this case next week its dropping down into Southern Canada. This will send very cold air into the Eastern half of U.S.

Add moisture or an active Sun Tropical jet and chances increases for storms and snows north of the Polar Jet Stream.

I think we'll see many complaints coming up after next week.

FYI... It might not be an in and out thing next week. We might get a day or 2 to be warm but the below normal temps may last 2 week. Looking like a below normal November.

And some days within these next 2 weeks will feel like mid Winter.

I'm in the Twin Cities on business this week, and they're talking 20s for highs, teens for lows next week (about 15 degrees below normal)

Yeah, you're in a good spot to see some impressive departures. Maybe single digits not far from there.

Radar and Temps.

Nice Lake streamers going on.

Last year November 23rd we had Lake effect squalls in CT and to the coast, even NYC.

My sister getting snow today right where it says 32 near Olean top of first white arrow.. (2nd time this year!)

Nothing unusual but the first snowflakes are on the forecasts. Shoreline as well. Yes, that says max temps in the 30s.



Remember our NorEaster Snowstorm 2 yrs ago today a week after Sandy.

I will never forget that snowstorm......... Left work at 5:00 pm , hit the Merritt NB and was a dead stop from Exit 28. I remember it took 1 full hour to go from Exit 28 to Exit 29. Parkway was covered, no plows in sight, cars barely able to move, trees falling onto the parkway, branches hanging very low. Was awful. We finally made it home.......at.....ready?.........10:30 pm. WORST snow ride in 30 years of driving for me. 5 1/2 hours to go 56 miles. No lie, but that commute actually scarred me for driving in big snowstorms. So when you read my snow hate posts from last winter , this is where it all stemmed from. This is why I hate driving in snow so much.

Well it looks like I might very soon get to break in my purchased in Sept. 2014 new LL Bean Baxter coat.

Wonder if the Litchfield Hills see some flakes this evening. Lake effect streamers making it all the way to CT. I got caught under one once and it dropped a good half inch real fast. Was interesting to think how it was moisture all the way from the great lakes.

Ha, just posted the same radar here. Someone on Long Island was about to get the rain. Impressive indeed.

Ouch.. yeah everyone was kinda caught off guard with that one thinking "its just November" and ignored it OR the hype wasn't spread enough. I bet you if it was December more would of stayed home or worked from home or left at various hours and it wouldn't of been "as" bad. But because it was still November and "tropical" hurricane was still fresh nobody thought twice about it so volume on the road was normal which got enhanced from the snows. I wonder how 684 looked at that point.

My boss lives in Poughkeepsie and he went 684.......left at same time as me......and got home at 10:00 pm. He said it was horrible.
