(Courtesy of Intellicast Weather)It’s not a terribly cold start to a February 14th morning but what’s impressive is just seeing a solid snowpack stretch from the Alabama-Florida border all the way to the Vermont-Quebec border.
There is also sub-freezing air stretching from Northern Florida to Canada and very much helped by the snowcover refridgeration effect. Arctic air is, if any, covering the 1-3 foot glacier of the Northern Plains (particularly N. Dak and Minnesota) where morning readings as per typical this season are in the single digits with sub zero winds chills. Another highly concentrated snowpack region is of course across the ground zero of recent storms, the Middle Atlantic where some areas of Penn, western Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia have a snow depth in places of 2-4 feet! Check out Jesse Ferrell’s recent blog which discusses snow totals from both blizzards…
