I know it's of consequence to you, but damn I kinda like this pattern lol. 10-day forecasts showing an extended period of cooler than normal weather after January 13th (this Saturday). We need to get a pattern like the winter of 1978-1979 where it was cold coast to coast....that'd be great for everybody. Also if I'm not mistaken, winter 2008-2009 saw that pattern as well? 2008-09 was an awesome winter for the PNW. I'd gladly order a repeat.  What’d you think of winter and spring 2011 in the PNW? I visited late spring and summer 2011 and it was gloomier with a lot more snow in the mountains than I expected. |

Spring 2011 was very cold and wet though and the mountains did indeed get hammered with snow even into June (local mountains around Vancouver had snow on the ground well into July). June was nicknamed "junuary" that year. |

I don't know exactly which could be the best thread for this, in case just move it. I wanted to show you the thunder maps for yesterday and today recorded in here, considering that it is the first time I hear a thunder in the middle of the winter I'm really impressed by this.   That site actually has a quite cool archive of old thunder maps and animations. |

^I wish that too.
This morning's lows throughout NYC and Long Island. Classical example of NYC's UHI. West to East:
NYC: 30F
LGA: 26F
JFK: 21F
FRG: 19F
ISP: 16F
HWV: 15F
FOK: 9F
Calm winds, clear skies, and deep snow will do that.

Im hoping that this warm spell is NOT just a blip. These 20F highs can go fuck off to Anchorage Alaska where they belong!

Blizzard Warnings in Minnesota and North Dakota. It would be fun to experience a blizzard in the Great Plains.
Meanwhile Flood Watches are in effect for much of the Northeast with snow melt and heavy rain. Up to 4 inches of rain possible in parts of New England. 1-2 inches of rain forecast for the Hudson Valley.

It hasn't reached 60F (15.6C) for 18 days straight (since Dec 23)! Normal high during this period is 59F (15C). Tomorrow the streak should end, with NWS forecasting 70F (21.1C). Though a cold front tomorrow night will bring back colder temps. Quite a drop from Dec 22 when it reached 80F (26.7C)! EDIT: Just saw where it reached 60F at 10 PM this evening so streak ended... Southeast flow bringing in warm, humid Gulf air.  |

NAM model showing frozen precip down to Louisiana Friday morning! The model runs today look less impressive. There might not be anything frozen in Louisiana Friday. |

current snow depth. What will 1-2 inches of rain with 55°F temperatures do? Tomorrow in the mid 40s should warm up the snowpack, which is still well below freezing. Guessing only minor melt tomorrow  |

Mt. Washington this morning. Typical pattern with warm air moving in and radiational cooling overnight: low lapse rates, with the summit and valley bottom roughly the same temperatures. Much windier at the summit of course; it sometimes gets calm at the summit but that's not happening with this active weather pattern. The summit rose from a dewpoint a bit below 0°F at 6 pm yesterday to 23°F at midnight and then rose in sync with temperature as the air was saturated. A cloud must have moved in at the same time.  |

Guessing only minor melt tomorrow already looking a bit slushy; powdery look is gone and compacted a lot. A bit of fog this morning as the warm, moist airmass gets cooled by the surface. Forecast summary High pressure will continue to move further away from the region
today and tonight resulting in milder temperatures along with
the potential for some dense fog. Very mild weather is
anticipated on Friday along with an increasing risk for heavy
rain, gusty winds and flooding later Friday into early Saturday. |
