How is your weather today part II

17 here now.... that is the overnight low tonight. Thankfully I bundled up well, so no biggie.
 
31 and a beautiful afternoon.... except that it does NOT feel like 31.... feels like 40.
 
Depends. Earlier it was around 40. Then around 80. Now probably 70s.


I'm at Longwood Gardens. Outside is cold, but in the conservatory there's various temps depending on what room I'm in.
 
Yay 53 degrees! It is raining alot though. 3 inches of snow from yesterday melted.
 
This morning it was 34, now it's 21 and dropping. Hmm. I just may make use of today, now I that I see the sun is out. Wanna get out before the nastiness arrives.
 
35 degrees cold on top of Lake Tahoe Mountains (9,200 elevation feet)- Perfect day!

Last night 67. Today the palms are swaying, high of 74 with rain.
 
Currently about 60 degrees with a nice drop in temps for the week. Artic weather coming in.
 
That 21 a few hours ago is now 7 degrees, and still dropping. High probability we drop below zero overnight. Would be the first time since March 2014 that happened.
 
I just learned that the coldest temperature ever documented in New York was 52 degrees below zero on February 1979.

We had below zero temps last winter, but that was partially due to the polar vortex and that wind chill. I'm hoping the deep freeze that's knocking on my doorstep won't go that far. At least it's only for a few days.

As for the Winter Storm Watch, it expires at 6 PM tonight, so anything could happen before then. We also have a Wind Chill Advisory, a Hard Freezing Rain Warning, a Gale Warning, and a Small Craft Advisory. How much more wilder can it get?
 
Some bad news:

The coldest weather of the season is barreling into the U.S. this week with a series of "dangerously cold" arctic air masses.

The blasts of cold air will send temperatures 10-35 degrees below average for early January, Weather Channel meteorologist Roy Lucksinger said. High temperatures will range from near zero to the teens and 20s across a wide swath of the country.


With his dad Tom close by, Justin Wesolowski, 7, uses his tiny shovel to pick up snow in front of their home in Adams, Mass., on Sunday.

The pattern is classic for winter, bringing frigid arctic air to nearly everyone east of the Rockies, National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Kocin said. The chilly weather will rival last year's January arctic outbreak that introduced the phrase "polar vortex" to America, he said.

"This is going to be a big cold outbreak, pretty windy as well," Kocin said. "It's going to drive all the way down south."


Arctic air will pour into the central and eastern U.S. by the middle of the week.

The first cold wave will cover the Plains and Great Lakes through Monday, while a second, even more frigid air mass blitzes into the Plains, Midwest and the East from Tuesday through Thursday, Lucksinger said.

Wind chills will plummet to minus 25 to minus 45 degrees from the northern Plains to the Ohio Valley. Frostbite can occur in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin at that temperature.

The high temperature Monday in International Falls, Minn., the so-called icebox of the nation, will be only minus 7, with a wind chill of minus 45, the National Weather Service said. The city may eventually warm up to the single digits by Thursday.

In Chicago, the record low temperature of minus 10 could be "smashed" Thursday morning, WeatherBell meteorologist Ryan Maue said.

Some light snow — around 1-3 inches — is also in the forecast from the northern Plains to the Northeast early this week, AccuWeather said. Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland will see snow Monday, while New York City and Boston will get the white stuff Tuesday.

In the Northeast, high temperatures will be in the 20s from Boston to New York City and Philadelphia for several days this week, AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.

Wind chills could drop into the single digits and below zero in the Southeast on Wednesday, according to the Weather Channel. Birmingham, Ala., is forecast to see a wind chill near zero overnight into Thursday, the weather service said. Parts of Florida are likely to see wind chills in the teens.

In another repeat of last winter, the Southwest and West Coast will escape the worst of the frigid temperatures this week. High temperatures are forecast to be in the pleasant 60s and 70s in southern California and Arizona.
There's still some good news for those east of the Rockies: The chill may not be long-lived in the central and eastern U.S.

"Rather than the pattern lock in for the remainder of the month, it looks like temperatures will again moderate at mid-month from the central states to the East," AccuWeather meteorologist Brett Anderson said.

It appears to be short-lived this time. We'll see about that.
