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................

It's already started with a light snow shower in NYC.

Yeah, so what?  It's January ... it's New England ... Winter happens.  It could be a whopper; it could be a dud.  We'll know by Sunday.

  • Well EXCUSE me!
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.

Nor'easter leaves over 100,000 in the dark as blizzard conditions pound East Coast

A powerful nor'easter has left more than 100,000 people in the dark on Saturday afternoon as the snowstorm continues to impact the East Coast.

As of 3:30 p.m., 134,573 customers were without power in Massachusetts and New York State as a result of the nor'easter, according to power tracking service PowerOutage.us.

Massachusetts accounted for most of the power outages, with 123,231 customers without power, compared with 11,342 in New York.

According to Fox Weather, nearly 10 million people living on the East Coast were at risk of losing power in the historic storm.

    More than 4,500 flights were cancelled across the US, while Amtrak cancelled all of its high-speed Acela trains between Boston and Washington
    More than 89,000 customers remained in the dark in Massachusetts

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.
