Early January 2014 cold snaps - featuring the polar vortex of doom

Recommended Posts

19 weak 

 

 

I thought 17F for sure would be the highest last night with 2m max at 13-14F and MOS at 16F...though in retrospect, I wonder if the cold shot being so far ahead of guidance was a bad thing for the afternoon high. That could mean that warm air advection aloft started sooner as well.

We never understimate the talent of DCA to bust past MOS.

yeah -- I wasn't necessarily banking on anything amazing but a little surprised we are so mild. then again the gradient at 850mb is pretty huge from PA into VA at this point and we're getting SW winds.

I am up to 14. And the wind is still kickin. This morning was one of the coldest mornings I can remember. 1 degree when I left the house at 7:30 and the wind was at 20-30 MPH. Just brutal.

 

Too bad sequels are rarely as good as the original

Should allow the media discuss how we've had two polar hurricane attacks this year if it's right

I heard Ion Part 2 stars some dude named Ian?  Oh wait..maybe that's the weak Cat 1 storm in in the S. Pacific?  Aww frick it!  Bring on that polar vortex one more time--please include as many Miller A's as you wish.  Thanks.  ;-)

Frozen over here. It never fully opened up from the last freeze, at least right here. It's actually cool when it's partially frozen/open in the middle because bald eagles seem to find that ideal for ice-fishing. You'll see them hanging out for long periods out there near the edge of the ice, like they should have a cooler of beer or something.

High of 13.5, currently on the way to 12.
