It's darn cold here in SWFL and by Saturday night it is supposed to dip down into the 30's. It's been a very long time since I've seen weather this cold. I'm hoping that our palm trees make it. :shrug:
Bomb cyclone could bring powerful nor'easter to Northeast cities this weekend
A rapidly intensifying storm known as a bomb cyclone could bring crippling winter weather across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic this weekend. Snow, ice, strong winds and flooding are all on the table, giving rise to potentially hazardous travel conditions in those regions.
"Confidence is increasing that a significant winter storm will create considerable impacts Friday through the weekend from the Mid-Atlantic through the Northeast," the Weather Prediction Center said Tuesday morning.
The storm is expected to move up the East Coast Friday into Saturday -- its location in relation to the coast will determine whether there's a wintry mix or a foot of snow.
Unfortunately, the forecast models are split on exactly where the low pressure system tracks and how strong it becomes by the end of the week................

Have the "climatologists" cried globull warming and anthropomorphic climate change yet? How soon before manbearpig starts rattling his cage again? As others have said it's January, winter happens. While I feel for those that are affected, living there is after all a choice, like those who live where hurricanes or tornadoes happen or me living where the is big risk of earthquakes which by the way have no season rhyme or reason.

It's snow. It will melt, eventually.

Officially a blizzard. First since 2018. The usual low lying costoal locales, from which reporters love to do storm live shots, experienced some splashover and storm surge at high tide. Nothing out of the ordinary for these parts.
The real news is that eastern Mass has gone almost 4 years without such a winter storm.
