Sunshine every day.

Where abouts in western Massachusetts are you at? I looked at Springfield and it shows only 21F as the high today, while I saw snow for Saturday and Sunday.

Thought we were getting a reprieve today from the lake effect. The sun actually came out earlier and was really nice out. It's made it to 14F from a low of 6F last night. The cloud cover is helping a lot with keeping the temps from plunging, but again, the NWS issued a snow advisory a bit ago with another 3-5" today because of the wind shift and stirring up the LE snows. Was going to have the plow guy come in finally and open up the drive, but decided to just hold off until it's done for a few days and then move it all at once.

A friend came over last night and tried to get in the drive with his AWD Subaru, but it's too deep and lifted his vehicle up getting him stuck. All you can do is chuckle when it gets like this since you can't stop mother nature from letting you know who is in charge.

Two possibilties:

1) I'm not in Western Massachusetts
2) The cold weather has so unhinged me that I've started posted from a mild winter fantasyland of a climate

I thought it was cold in america. Yes it is actually warm. As I speak it is still 14c. Not going to last 2c high on monday.

Two ridges, one in the Pacific over Alaska, and one over Europe..... Result. Lots of blue over North America, with the core in purple in the Midwest!






As ****ty as the past summer was, this winter is off to a great start

This Newfoundland Low looks pretty scary:



A couple of days ago the Azores high was skewed even more towards the British isles. The Low mass seems to create 3 smaller low systems moving westwards, and the arctic air will flow down to Canada and the US.

Look at this at the end of the period:

I am hating Europe, climatically speaking, right now.

Maybe both?


It's 58 F here, same temperature as N.I. probably with a colder night though (forecast low of 0 C tonight)

46°F (8°C) forecast tonight. Cold wave earlier than this fantastyland climate. Went down to 2°C at night, local heating system can't cope.

Wait, no. Not my special part of North America.
