 Not often do you see Winter Storm Watches sneaking down into the extreme northern part of the FL Peninsula.  50% chance of snow tonight in Lake City, FL! |

Haven't really followed it, will the NE United States cold wave continue into next week?

Haven't really followed it, will the NE United States cold wave continue into next week? Maybe it needs its own thread here to be easier to follow?  The cold wave will mellow out after Sunday but then return not as extreme. Extended GFS looks cold but not extreme cold afterwards, but the GFS isn't that reliable 10+ days out. |

last week's temperatures. We got a diurnal cycle!  in °C for the foreignors. Also a good unit to see how long we've been below freezing. |

It reached 20 (-6 C) today for the first time since Christmas.
This snaps the sub-20 streak at 7 days, tied for the 6th longest ever and the longest since 1979!
Not even February 2015, the coldest month ever could manage such a streak.
And holy shit, there’s supposed to be highs of 2 (-17 C) for Friday and Saturday! I bet it won’t be that low, but I hope it is.

Rainfall totals from today's rain:
FLL: 1.07" (27 mm)
FXE: 0.65" (17 mm)
HWO: 0.55" (14 mm)
Rather paltry rainfall totals for it being an all-day rain event. Grand majority of rain has been light rain/drizzle, with a couple of heavier episodes. Right now, it's raining moderately outside and it's 64 F (18 C).

Quite a significant ice/snow event in the Deep South for tomorrow:  Lake City, FL with up to 0.6" of ice predicted, which will be quite treacherous.  This is in extreme north FL, about 5 miles south of Folkston, GA (30 miles north of Jacksonville). Up to 0.5" of ice predicted for tomorrow.  Savannah, GA predicted 1-2" of snow, higher amounts definitely possible. Some models are suggesting Savannah might get slammed with 6+" of snow tomorrow, which will be insane.  |

Mid month pattern "reset"? Hopefully the ensuing pattern towards late Jan/early Feb favours the west. We seldom see back loaded winters these days so perhaps we're due.   |

Generally speaking I think warming will result in west coasts warming way more than east coasts, and these cold waves in NE North America lately I think can be traced to that.

My take on it is that the water offshore of Florida gets warmer and warmer, hence gets more and more powerful to pursue the Gulf Stream direction, forcing the warm water away from NYC and New England, pointing it straight towards Europe. Wouldn't rule out a future where the normal winter means are warmer in Nyköping than in Boston and Connecticut. |

Wouldn't rule out a future where the normal winter means are warmer in Nyköping than in Boston's UHI. Hmm, "maybe" is all I can say. You might have a point though, it's odd how the eastern US can still get record or near-record cold fairly regularly but apart from Dec 2010 and Mar 2013 western Europe can't even get normal cold most winters. Hasn't the PNW had repeated really warm winters as well recently, what would be the cause behind that then? I have no idea if Vladivostok has seen the same warming in winter as Moscow has either. |

Probably a similar effect to a less degree boombo, in other words southerlies and warm water gaining steam from Hawaii or thereabouts producing frequent south-westerlies hitting Seattle and Vancouver. |
