Well this looks like Arctic. Gees.

US National Weather Service Caribou ME
Dangerous wind chills are in store tonight throughout the state. Here are the expected wind chills at 7am Sunday morning. Wind chills to around 30 below are expected for Northern Maine, with 10 to 20 below toward the coast. Wind chill advisories are in effect for many areas, with even wind chill warnings for the Western Maine mountains, where wind chills to 40 below are expected. Temperatures (and wind chills) will gradually become less of an issue as we head toward Tuesday.

Cold snap gone in 2-3 days? My forecast shows, except one day, it staying for the whole week, colder than anything so far this winter.

Yes, it seems that the core of this current cold snap will be more directed at the Upper Midwest and upper Northeast (mostly New England) than points west and south. Here are the current temps...it's in the teens in Chicago and upstate New York (Binghampton) and in New England...in the 30's closer to the coast (NYC, Washington DC)...and still in the middle 40's in the south Atlantic states (Savannah, Atlanta):

Impressive temps and wind chill numbers. Seems deeper this time. 20s and 30s into Florida and negative teens (with wind) into NorthEast.

I think the difference this time is winds are stronger and there is snowpack north and West now so air is colder.

These are actual temps.

The snowpack issue is really important:




You can see that last storm left some snowcover in the Midwest, but much of the central USA remains snow free. I think this effects these cold waves as they move out of Canada and down in to the USA, as the lack of snowcover allows them to warm a little faster than they would with a snowpack. The way this winter is going, this might be the week with the most snowcover all winter. I guess will find out very soon.

Thats strange snow cover came up. See new topic. We added double the coverage of snow in last few days. Some light cover but some spots picked up over a foot.

Coldest night of the season forecasted for tonight - low of 6 F/-14.5 C. Nights haven't been as cold as they typically are during arctic outbreaks due to cloud cover and lack of snowcover. Today is clear though.

Wow. Unexpected when I went to look at the current wind chills and departure from normal.

Like I said previously, it's not just the East with the Arctic outbreak. Upper MidWest is looking crazy being 20+ degrees below normal.

This is the 3rd one this month I believe.

Pretty cold in the Northeast now, and obviously finally getting some snow on the ground, first such snow on the ground since October.
