Thousands spent the night in cars and stores across the South following the much anticipated winter storm. It sure was a cold night and today hasn’t been much better. Here’s a few memorable shots. This morning marked day two of Atlanta gridlock!! A scene from the walking dead as mentioned by AccuWeather’s Anthony Sagliani. Here’s a rare and great shot […]
It has been an unbelievable day up in Alaska with temperatures reaching not only the warmest levels yet but the 62 degrees record this afternoon at Port Alsworth ties the state all-time record for January. 60s in January, in Alaska? I never thought id see the day to be honest. Of course we all know Alaska turns mild when the […]
It was a very cold start across the Upper Midwest but not the coldest of winter with Minneapolis hitting the mid teens below while Chicago hit 11 or 12 below which is well under the forecasted -20 the ECMWF had and well shy of the season’s coldest of 16 below. Both GFS and NAM did […]
We continue to watch the upcoming winter storm set to take aim at the Southeast from Houston to Savannah up to Norfolk. While this system is set to bring big snow totals and likely rare snowfall to the Florida Panhandle, this system looks to be a significant ice maker for such cities as Savannah up through […]

In fact a bigger event may be coming next week according to some of the models as the deepest trough of winter dives all the way to the Gulf […]
Given this wild and extremely amplified pattern over North America right now, it’s no real surprise that we have a very weird, wacky and ‘upside down’ weather pattern. To put it into perspective, the temperature is currently 33 at both Fairbanks, AK and New Orleans, LA where there’s a rain, sleet, freezing rain mix currently with treacherous travel […]
We have a wild and complex winter pattern across the United States right now with one piece of energy after the next swinging around the HUDSON BAY VORTEX which by the way is a permanent wintertime feature but the only difference this year is, it’s a little more ‘loose’ than normal. Every 4-8 years, this ‘polar […]
Well the snowstorm of yesterday has passed and what an impressive system it was. It was a record breaker for several spots including Philadelphia and New York where 13.5 and 11.5 inches fell respectively. Points just south of Boston saw upwards of 18 inches. Here is the snow totals chart from AccuWeather. Bitter cold enveloped […]
