Yep, a living room 12 feet deep in ice is exactly what the true believers promised us. Isn’t it?
And raging blizzards sweeping across the northern tier of the country and heading east with a vengeance.
And record breaking cold due to hit the northwest by tomorrow morning.
A remarkable mass of arctic air, cold even by January standards, will have an indirect bearing upon the Pacific Northwest weather Tuesday night into Wednesday. The outcome will be record and near-record cold as of daybreak on Wednesday.At Seattle, lows in the mid-20s will put at risk the daily record low of 23 degrees.In Bellingham, a record low of 19 degrees could be broken as the mercury slips below 20 degrees.
Where I live in the Midwest, out temperatures plummeted 15 degrees in a few hours and howling northwest winds are blowing making being outside for even a few minutes a real joy. We are down to 15 degrees and still falling. And tomorrow night is predicted to be even colder.
It’s been a long winter. It is not over yet.
By the way, the South Polar icecap? About a half a million square kilometers above the 40 year mean. At the end of summer down there.
We hit 2 below here at 6AM.
Ahhhhh….. March.
