Why is that a big shock?

Yup, drip, drip, drip. I had a feeling this year was the year either without snow OR snow that just melts fast. These warm surges have just been too strong and there hasn't been any sustained arctic air so no surprise it's happening. Drip, Drip, Drip.


45°F here.

Snowflakes fell in Atlanta Saturday. 53° Sunday. 58° yesterday. 60° today?




Upper flow shows why. Damn southerly flow!

62 here! but under a cloudy sky. Forecast only had 57 but whenever we are in a southerly flow with high pressure the forecast always busts higher by a few degrees. Same thing happens with cold when we are in a ULL or a CAD wedge, we always fail to reach the forecast high by a few degrees.

79 F here, and the forecast low on Thursday night got upgraded from 49 F to 56 F. How shocking.

Did I say that it was a big shock? Anyway it surprised me a little that Monroe was 10°C cooler in the morning than NYC and Monroe later was 1°C warmer. A big shock IMO is if Monroe hit 20°C today.

Yeah, plenty of southerly flow now that it's winter of course. Where was this in August when the grass turned brown?

NYC being surrounded by cold ocean water probably hindered daytime heating somewhat.

Or the deeper snowcover.
