Nothing to see here… Thought I better send something out, people worry when they don’t hear from me.
NYC is on track to beat the record of days below freezing. Today is day 8. The all-time record is 16 days. Models indicate 14 more days of this.
Snow flurries in Tampa this morning, 30 degrees in West Palm Beach. 8 inches of snow in Myrtle Beach, NC, with temps in the teens. 15 inches of snow in Ocean Isle Beach, NC–more than all the snow that has fallen in the lower elevations for us this entire winter in this one storm!
I admit it, despite my envy, I am watching the storm coverage vicariously. We have had years like this: when it is cold and snowy in the eastern half of the US, it’s typically dry and warm in the west. These cold temperatures in Florida are a 50-year event, for perspective.
When will it change, you ask? I don’t have concrete data I can get excited about because what I see is 10 to 12 days from now. At the moment, the GFS shows a very large storm, while the European model shows a small storm. We’ll see, I will be watching, of course. Hang in there…
