For the second picture, I'm just barely in the snow zone. Currently TWC shows a low of 36 with an 80% chance of precipitation Tuesday night, cutting it close.

Current temps on left. 10-30 below normal East of Mississippi. Wind Chills on right. Feels like Sub Zero from DC northwards.

Mt Washington Wind Chill is actually -63 but this software is capped out at -50 (don't ask)

[Cambium]

Normal Mid February Max is 40°, Min is 25°.

This forecast looks like it's for the mountains not coastal CT! WOW.

I'm used to seeing just like 1-2 days worth, not a whole week especially in February! Crazy.



Broken Record Alert* Theres STILL no thaw or warming period in sight possibly going into March now. Been saying this for so many weeks now. GEES

[Cambium]

Cold 850mb level airmass Asia to U.S.

-10C line now just south of Raleigh, NC. Also over Japan. Both about Latitude 36N

-20C line down to WV and PA is the furthest south across the Northern Hemisphere

9 degrees where I am in NJ. Just dropped from 10 degrees.

Could you tell me the difference between "wind chill factor" and "feels like"?

Weather. com always has a "feels like" below the "actual" temperature.
I wonder if their 'feels like' is the same as wind chill.

Same just different wording. Wind Chill of 10 below zero means when the wind blows it makes it feel like as if the air temp was 10 below zero. I'm sure you knew that though..

"Real Feel" and Wind Chill are different.

Real Feel was created by Accuweather. It factors in other aspects like sunlight, cloud cover, humidity, ect. It's more accurate than the old Wind Chill which is still widely used

What is the AccuWeather RealFeel Temperature?

Cold front has cleared Florida now. Current Surface map



NWS Melbourne Florida Discussion

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
445 AM EST FRI FEB 13 2015

TODAY/TONIGHT...COLD FRONT IS PUSHING DOWN THE FL PENINSULA EARLY
THIS MORNING...CURRENTLY ACROSS OKEECHOBEE AND THE TREASURE COAST.
COLD ADVECTION ON N/NW WINDS WILL PRODUCE HIGH TEMPERATURES ABOUT
10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL DESPITE FULL SUNSHINE. HIGH TEMPS WILL
STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 50S IN NORTH LAKE/VOLUSIA
COUNTIES...WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S EXPECTED ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
THE FA.

THE NE SWELL HAS DECREASED A BIT BOTH IN HEIGHT AND PERIODICITY SO
HAVE ALLOWED THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY TO EXPIRE. BUT THERE IS STILL
A LOT OF ENERGY BEING TRANSPORTED INTO THE SURF ZONE AND ONTO THE
BEACHES. SO HAVE RAISED A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS.

IT WILL BE COLD TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE 30S ACROSS MUCH OF THE
NORTH AND INTERIOR. FORECAST LOW TEMPS ARE JUST ABOVE FREEZING
ACROSS LAKE AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES. WITH THE HIGH CENTER REMAINING
TO THE WEST...CONDITIONS DO NOT LOOK IDEAL FOR WIDESPREAD FREEZING
TEMPS SO HAVE NOT RAISED FREEZE WATCHES/WARNINGS. BUT NORMALLY
COLDER LOCATIONS NORTH AND WEST OF ORLANDO MAY BRIEFLY REACH
FREEZING NEAR DAYBREAK SAT. AIRMASS IS QUITE DRY AND WITH A
LITTLE WIND DO NOT THINK A FROST ADVISORY IS WARRANTED BUT ADDED
SOME PATCHY FROST FOR WIND PROTECTED AREAS N/W OF ORLANDO.
