My wife and I watched a movie about prisoners that escaped from a Russian gulag in Siberia last week, and I told her this morning, as we sat in the house with no power, watching the snow fall that it would be a full sensory experience to watch it again right about now. Especially tonight when it is supposed to dip to zero, or below.
For here, GFS is showing very cold temperatures next Tuesday and early March.
Yeah, this one coming down will get to us by end of week then that will spin away back into Canada and another piece again maybe next week. I don't see next weeks being "as cold" as end of this week. We'll see.
--------------------
LET THERE BE LIGHT? GFS shows finally warming past freezing... Or is it just because a storm comes to close here?
Snow, Mix & Rain being shown, but overall temps stay below normal except the days the moisture comes in. Gee...Normalcy for here. lol
Enjoy this next Arctic blast... I seriously doubt we'll see these low/max temps again until next year if anything.
So this will be the last "deepest" cold air we get.
But we won't be done with below normal temps and below freezing temps at all. I still don't see a thaw or warming "period" being shown for around here.
I feel like a broken record saying that for 3 weeks now. Gees.
Well, we're supposed to get a high of 20 and a low of 5 on Thursday. That's basically once a decade cold for winter, and once a generation cold for February. I'll just have to wait and see if it verifies.
As for below freezing temps, we almost always see them with some regularity until late March anyway. I could definitely see Friday as the last below freezing high we see, however.
I just wish this winter had better blocking. It's hard to get snow in the southeast without blocking. I've heard a -AO and a -NAO are very helpful for prolonged cold and snow in the southeast, but the AO and especially the NAO have been mostly positive. However, I seem to recall a +PNA and a weak El Nino being helpful, and we've either had those or been close to having them. I imagine with more blocking this winter could have been a 12"+ winter (for snowfall), instead of just a 1" winter.
We are expecting the coldest day of the year this thursday in South Florida, it's gonna be very cold with lows in the 30s ... I moved from Canada to escape this lol
South florida progged to drop into the 30s by friday night! so excited!
LOL I have some Canadian friends that are coming over on thursday for the weekend to escape the cold ...
I didnt tell them that it's gonna be so cold here, they were expecting to go in the pool ...
South florida progged to drop into the 30s by friday night! so excited!
Are they really? So was the GFS right from 1-2 weeks ago ? I didn't follow.
