That makes 6 days witchu, Svalbard. It's 9:01 pm on January 3 there as I speak, and it hasn't been at freezing since 9 pm, December 28. Make it another day, it'll be a week. What's really cool is that it hasn't been below 36 F / 2 C all day Dec. 29, 30, 31, Jan. 1, 2, or 3.
It's record breaking. The high of 8.7C / 47.7F at Svalbard Airport / Longyearbyen on Dec 30th crushed the old record with 1.5C (recording since 1911).
The month of December had a mean of -6C at Svalbard Airport, 7.4C above the 1961-90 average.
Check out the sharp edge on those clouds. I'm watching an NFL game in Cincinnati on TV and it's overcast, even though it's a blue dome sky here. Very odd.
It was sunny here earlier, but now it's cloudy. I guess that edge has crossed over.
Are those clouds lake effect clouds or frontal? I guess they're a bit of both. The ones over Quebec can't be lake effect.
Frontal. Lake effect doesnt have a structure expanding from Ohio Valley to Canada. Typically just streamers and any streamers werent making it far given the front interfering. They were basically blending in or getting engulfed in the front.
Remember that storm that brought feet of snow to New Mexico and Texas? Tornados. Flooding? And the North Pole temp surge? That storm did it. It pushed and displaced the cold and part of it went south into Canada.
Here we go.
Doubt will be like last year because of the active sub jet and SE ridge but sure will be nice to get the dips!
