Minnesota is seeing some decent colder weather this first week of January. Widespread lows of -35 to -40F in most areas of the north-central part of the state.

Chicago is on the wrong side of the lake if you like lake effect snow




Look at this. Chiberia is back?

I feel maybe I should put this in the Arctic outbreak societal disruption thread? I-5 is now closed south of Seattle due to flooding and the PNW is increasingly cut off from the rest of North America.

Arctic blast still showing up on the GFS even the Euro is picking something. Could be a brutally cold January

It was bound to happen. I knew there was a price to be paid when the eastern U.S. had such a mild December.

No brutal cold for the northeast.

No, not after the blowtorch December, I need far more snow and colder temperatures in my area.

Currently here, in Downeast, ME...23F Degrees, Dew Point 22F, Winds NNW 9mph, Gusts 23mph...Lightly snowing, 4" Accumulation of snow with drifts up to 6"

We visited with our local folks at the Amherst General Store (aka - Ralph's Got Gas - another story), where we ate a hardy breakfast and discussed politics and current news (not acquired through cable, but through telegram)!
The storm was brewing and some came in with concerns about Route 9 and how the snow had hidden the sheet of ice underneath and the hills would be a challenge....
Tales of woe from a distant land (A Truckdriver of 25years in Oregon who drover over the Santiam Pass and down the Gorge), were told! We laughed and commiserated....and when one left they were wished safe travels (and mostly prayers), as they went on their way... ​
We gather every Friday between 8:30 and 10:00am, unless my schedule changes....
It's important to keep community with those whom we dwell!
Thankful and honored to partake...
amongst those whose decendants ferried Washington across the Delaware!
They seem to have forgotten...
but us, "from Away," have not!
