If verifies, this week's lows will be colder than last January's "Polar Vortex"
Not over here in Detroit. Some lows might get around 0 degrees Fahrenheit this week, perhaps a bit below, but nothing like last year's -13 low with windchills around -35.
Does anyone know if there ever were any winters where Florida had a greater negative anomaly than the rest of the eastern U.S.? Or do we always just get a moderated version of the rest of the country's weather?

As far as timing tomorrow. Heres an animation of what the Hi-Res NAM says for Northeast..
2pm its snowing in NYC suburbs and entering CT.
By 5pm its starting to mix as warm air starts to filter in.
By 11pm raining most of the state. Even Vermont changes from snow to sleet to rain

Winter of 2009/10 and perhaps Dec 2010 as well come immediately to mind.
