Weird weather pattern alert!

Happy Monday! Arctic air has become firmly established over the northern one third of Canada. We continue to cycle through the same weather pattern that set up in October and November. Remember, when we made our initial winter forecast on November 10th we thought there would be no cold air and it would be warm with very little snow. But, then something happened along the way and it was caused by the weather pattern we are in. Cold air seeped into the United States and it was a surprise to everyone. Not one computer model had a handle on our 17 day cold wave in early December.

So, how does this help us? Not much. Because we rely on these computer models. Oh, we can make up our own minds, but there must be some evidence. The evidence we have right now is the fact that there is brutally cold air well to our north. We must watch it closely, but there is no indication of when it will come down on the latest data. This could change fast. Something to think about.

In the mean time it is warming up again Wednesday into Thursday.

More later.

Where is the snow Gary? Is there any chance of snow in the near future? Or do we have to wait until the end of January into February. So far in Clinton we have recived a total of about 4" of snow this season. Is there any chance to get more this season? When do you think the artic air will arrive. With this artic air is there any chance of precip with this cold air?
I heard there is a chance for a major winter weather event at the end of this moth. Are there still signs of this happening still? Talk to you later John
P.S. wishing for snow!!! :)

John,

We are hoping for a change and some snow too. Maybe in 10 days.

I'm loving this boring weather! We moved here a year and a half ago from southeastern Virginia, so this is much more to my liking!! Keep it up and bring on spring ! :)

MARY:
I am right there with you! I *love* the warm winter weather! Gary is a huge snow-fan... so he is hoping we will turn colder soon. That looks like it could be over a week away, though! So enjoy the nice weather while it's here!
