off topic first fall time weather was rainy, just about rainiest fall time weather ever. back to topic. this winter in Alaska is weird, warm winter so far, matter of fact it seems like springtime. 40 degrees F. whats up w this weather. snows melting away our ice left few days ago. :headscratch:
not to make bad of news but, I WAS aching to ask this question for you fellow AHERS living in the lower 48, Do you guys live in igloos?!?
hope you all fairing well with the cold weather.

Above normal here for two months. Sometimes we've been near the normals, but mostly above 5, 10 or more degrees with not a drop of rain in 6 weeks.
Winter is east of here though, wow New Orleans had a windchill of 15 the other day :O
-
<S> greens, good to hear from you :salute
Hope things are well.
We in Southern NJ (Just NE of Philly), have been stuck with daytime highs
in the teens and 20's for quite a while, with Windchill dropping the 'real feel" temp lower.
Gonna be well above average on Sunday (high of 50).
Rumors of a big Nor'Easter possible next Saturday with a possible 30+" Snowstorm.
We've been getting a good bit more Snow than recent January's.
Feb is our Snowiest month, so we've got a good month yet till we start feeling
like Winter looses grip.
Younger Generations have become Weather wusses here and are tripping because
they've never the Delaware River freeze so much in recent times.
Yeah, it's been this Cold here many times in years past.

The world's weather energy is constant more or less. So if you have it warm, then some places else is equally as cool. An over simplification but you see what I mean. The question of course is whether the worlds weather energy is increasing or decreasing or staying the same.

In south Arkansas, weather can change by the hour. I've seen as much as a 40 degree difference between the daily low and high points. Our monthly average for January is a low of 30 and a high of 50. Overall We've had a below average winter imho, the lowest was 9F and several days we didn't get above freezing. We had some ice storms and sleet in december, but january has been dry. We've had the cold, but no moisture to make winter weather. Forecasted to potentially get some snow Wednesday, at the very least rain that we badly need.
-
Been as much as 30 below the average here
-
Negative temps during the day without windchill factored happens every few years here, this year we've had 4 days below zero with the sun out. The snow is piled higher than in recent years so Imma gonna build me an igloo in the front yard.
-
I just don't understand why the upper atmospheric winds have shifted like they have, which makes me think that the "world's weather energy" has shifted to some degree...you also have to think about the amount of energy needed to move that huge cold air mass off of the northern polar region down to where it is now...you look at a satellite view of the northern hemisphere and it looks like the jet streams are now circulating over middle Canada and not the pole....

Over the last three weeks, Pittsburgh has been in double digits just a few days. It was -19 Tuesday morning without windchill. But it rose up to zero by 1-2Pm. Yesterday and today it's in the 20-30's and feels like spring! Supposed to get rain this weekend I believe.
A friend who's from either Rochester Buffalo, NY said his mom said it was -30's the one day without windchill.

Global warming :old:
-
Lol we have another snow storm inbound overnight. :bhead
-
Just like in 1930s there were huge colds, climate switches and it doesn't care what men do.
-
It's been a brutally cold winter for the most part in N Texas with a few warm days scattered in. Had a high of about 70 today but supposed to have the different storm systems and an arctic front over the next few days that's going to bring some pretty decent winter precip.
And depending on what model you look at we could have anywhere between 1/2" to 14" of snow lol. 14" is highly unlikely. I'm hoping for at least 4-6 so I can have some good fun in the Jeep.

Yep, extreme weather; cold, messy roads and record snow here, and UK is getting slammed again after all the floods; strong depression in Atlantic, looks like a hurricane on Google weather map, they are expecting high winds and 60ft waves for tomorrow;

below normal here in pfrnj. last time i've seen it this cold, and this much snow, was winter of 93/94

Jet Stream.

The groundhog prediction; 6 more weeks of winter; :huh

<S> guys
In all my yrs of living up here in the norton sound region of alaska i have never ever seen it like this during the winter. No snow. Maybe about a foot of snow. Generous foot. No ice. We have a beach. Normally we would not be able to see the ice edge at this time of year. Warmest winter as well. It rained in january even. Odd. Am wonderin if any bears have wokeb up early from hibernation. Sheesh.
Am wondering how rich oil companies and clothing companies made this year down states in sales or profits

Meanwhile at America's food bank...
"Despite a snowstorm earlier this week, the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains stands at just 12 percent of the average level, the lowest measurement in the half-century records have been kept."

Their fighting about the water again...
"In their imagined "people versus fish" scenario, towns are going dry and growers are going out of business because crazy environmentalists are hogging water to protect an obscure fish, the delta smelt. Water that could irrigate fields and keep people working is instead being kept in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and flushed into the ocean.

Agreed, Ive been watching some of the forcast models of the north pacific, most of the low pressure systems have be "blocked" by high pressure in the north of a alaska, Causing them to "retrograde" back over siberia. Meanwhile the ever present High is forcing air nearly due south from the north pole down over the lower 48.

Well, winters not over yet. Also, the people created these problems of needing so much water and fresh cabage. iirc the west had record amounts of rain a year ago? where did that water go? should off put it in a bottle so they could enjoy the sun and dry heat without fear.
-
We're in a 4-6" every other day pattern. Had 5-6" yesterday. Another 5 or so tomorrow.
There's a whopper brewing with potential for 3+ feet this Weekend.
A classic Nor"Easter :aok

:rofl and we pay trillion's of dollars in education each year in this state, you would think there would be reservoir's going in all over the place... this isn't the 1st time :headscratch:
Oh... and I think we have the bottled water covered for the most use as well :D

This snow storm is huge, from Texas to East Coast ; already snowing here; amazing weather models this days; they predicted this storm 7 days ago; :rock

below normal here in pfrnj. last time i've seen it this cold, and this much snow, was winter of 93/94
Agreed....same weather here across the river
I remember 93 really well.......The one storm we had was 30+inches of snow....a drift off my field completely buried my wifes Mazda MX3....I mean you could not see it at all.....completely gone.
This weather now is killing us at work....just crazy crazy busy........

Imagine howmuch fresh water wd have down states if they flooded part of the grand canyon :eek:

ha!! mom had an 86 escort back then. the snow had gone pretty far up it. then the plow trucks came through. she called me telling me she couldn't find her car, lolol
when i didn't have the towtruck from work at home, i was driving a 74 chevy pickup 2 wheel drive, with snow chains on it.
on a side note, it looks like we might dodge that storm this weekend.......

Thank god for that......Bucks, Montgomery and Chester counties are a mess....about 500k without power and ive already got 5 houses with trees on them and thru them......Job security i guess but im exhausted at this point

I live in Bucks and have had the power go off a bunch of times but luckily only for a few minutes. It went off again a few hours ago and came back - sort of. All of my lights are now much dimmer than usual. Why would that happen? :noid

this is why i keep a generator, and about 20 gallons of fuel on hand. my house is very small, and a 5500w will easily run half of it, including the oil furnace.......
as for the tree thing....i hate to sound cold.....but take the money while the takin's good........the hours will dry up soon enough.....
