First blog unrelated to precipitation... Instead, Temperature...

This just needs to be a heads up because the coldest air of the season, and for some potentially in history, is on the way and in a hurry. The dates to watch out for are the 21st and the 22nd, thats when really interesting stuff is going to occur. First off before I get to the temperatures, I have to add the precipitation aspect to it. So, as all this cold is going on it seems a storm may come up along the coast on the 20th and the 21st bringing some type of snow, and although all the details aren't in about it, it is likely to be big. With that moving through along with the cold air already in place, a huge northwesterly wind takes over literally crippling areas. I've noticed a trend too. Two days ago the forecasted low for the 21st was 14 degrees, then yesterday it was 10 degrees, and right now it stands at 6 degrees; it's pretty obvious that something pretty substantial is probably going to unfold out of all of this. I believe that even in the Tristate area, actual real temperature numbers could drop close to 0, and then on the 22nd highs only topping out in the middle teens at best! Just to add in some really interesting news, the whole winter season has taken what I consider a complete turn. Do you remember the original forecast for this winter? Something along the lines of a cold December (Happened for the most part), and a warm January (Obviously not!), and then after supposidly a warm February and normal March? Well Now totally new forecasts have come out showing a cold and very snow Late January into February, and likely into March. So lots to watch out for, and keep it here for the latest.
