...POTENTIALLY CRIPPLING ICE ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS PARTS OF
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA TONIGHT...
Thankfully, it was mostly sleet. I got a little over 1" sleet with only a thin glaze of freezing rain and a dusting of snow. The roads are still covered with sleet, and almost everything is shut down. But I still have power, which is good, considering it's only 25 degrees out.
lol @ these cold anomalies. it feels this west ridging east troughing has gone on for well over a year now in the US. but hasn't the center of the cold anomalies been shifted slightly to the east since last winter?

Yes, and the warm anomalies are further east than last winter. Last winter only California was recording big warm anomalies, the interior west wasn't.
Appears the pattern of "big snowstorm once or twice a week" is over for New England. Cold air shifted southwards and so did the storms. Now it looks like the next two weeks will be cold and mostly dry.
This article from months ago forecasted a cold winter based on Siberian snow cover. Wonder if he just got lucky or he was right?
Cohen’s method proposes that when snow increases rapidly and over a large area over Eurasia during October, it is a strong indication that a weather pattern known as the Arctic Oscillation (AO) will average in its negative phase during winter. When the AO is negative, it favors cold air outbreaks into the eastern U.S. and western Europe, that can also set the stage for snowstorms.

Me, you and few others in this forum were all over that snowcover in the Fall. Quick search I found this...
Posted October 20th, 2014. Guess the NAO didn't cooperate but one must wonder. It also has influence on the Polar Vortex which has been around the Hudson Bay again.

The more snow cover there, the stronger the influence on the atmosphere and the more likely you’ll see high latitude blocking with a Negative AO and cold stormy weather conditions on the East coast U.S.
Posted October 20th. Gotta love a Warm Pacific in this sense.
