Polar Vortex Merry Go Round. Denver & Billings Has Spring Like Weather While Miamians FREEZE & NC Getting More Snow Tomorrow.
Brrr!! Must be February!!
Watching weather people in North Carolina talking on the incoming system that could maybe, possibly bring a little more snow to our area. They are using words comically carefully so as not to panic a part of the population tired of Winter and praying for Spring. Then there's the hyping types who are screaming "3rd Week in a Row SNOW!" for the snow lovers wishing for more snow. It's February, some years we get snow, most years we do not. And it's not just North Carolina as areas in North Georgia are trying to dry out and dealing with very slow snow melt. I've been told when the snow melts you hit the layer of hard ice that was sleet on the bottom and it's not pretty and ABC Liquor Stores in Raleigh selling lots of Jack Daniels!
Those polka dot clouds offshore in the Atlantic...
...are cold, cold weather clouds.
There's a slot of dry air and blue skies...
...but behind it IS another system.
Yesterday we were all blue skies.
Gray, white like clouds moving in today...
It'll all really come down to timing.
Time of day the "precipitation" falls to the ground.
Some will be rain that'll help melt the snow.
Some may be snow
"OH NO!!"
or
"YAY!"
Lately we are less divided here on politics...
..than our love or hate for snow.
Maps are so simple.
That shade of blue is "mixed precipitation"
Maybe Freezing Rain ....
...or wintry mix.
We really didn't need a rodent ....
...to tell us Winter is here to stay for a while.
(sorry a groundhog is a rodent, that's true)
Meanwhile in Colorado they are basking in 60s...
Highs of 60s for Denver are like 80s for them.
Miami getting highs in the 50s is as if it was 30s.
And people in Denver way happier right now..
..than my family in Miami.
So snow or dry slot again?
Freezing Rain?
