Blown forecast here. See the lake effect bands hitting me? I got nearly 2", and we were supposed to see any!

Cold and brisk this morning, 13° and moderate lake effect snow at 7 am.

Sub-zero wind chills in place as Friday dawns; the coming 7 days will be nearly 14-degrees colder than past 7; season

GFS has above freezing temperatures at the North Pole on Tuesday. Probably won't happen. A strong 953 mb low over the Arctic ocean would pull up mild air from over the Norwegian Sea
