Arctic blast has arrived in the eastern US – IOTW Report

Arctic blast has arrived in the eastern US

Numerous record low temperatures by early Wednesday

WUWT:

Overview

The strong cold front representing the leading edge of a widespread Arctic air mass passed through the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor early this morning and temperatures have fallen into the 30’s from early day highs.  Precipitation is being enhanced in the cold air behind the front as a strong jet streak aloft generates upward motion in the I-95 corridor.  As a result, a changeover to snow is likely during the mid-day and early afternoon hours in the immediate DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and this changeover to snow is likely all the way to coastal New Jersey and Delmarva.  Some spots could receive small snow accumulations and as temperatures drop to near freezing later in the day, watch for the possibility of “black ice” on some roadways.  Precipitation winds down later today and the cold will become the main story with record low temperatures in numerous Mid-Atlantic/NE US locations by early tomorrow. Widespread records were set earlier today from Texas to the Great Lakes with some stations recording their lowest temperature ever for the month of November and we are not even at the halfway point. read more

  1. How is it the polar cap is melting, yet thousands of miles south my piss freezes before it hits the ground…. More than a month before official winter! I’m just now beginning to think this whole global warming thing is fake news. Apparently I’m going to have to actually move to a warmer climate for retirement instead of it coming to me.

  2. Medieval peasants used to think a comet in the sky signified the end of the world. Now liberals think a strong cold front does the same. Just imagine how surprised they’ll be when the shooting starts.

  3. I went hunting this afternoon. I saw a nice buck but I had my 12 gauge blaster and the distance was a bit too far. I’ll have my 30-06 rifle “Black Betty” next time. It got pretty darn cold out there.

  4. 22 this morning its a heat wave, warmer than yesterday. Car doors frozen shut here in snowy, cloudy upstate NY. Hate to think how cold would be if not for global warming. Forecast…colder. I’m getting ready for winter to arrive…stacking wood, shoveling snow with one arm is a challenge, rotator cup surgery still mending.
