Winter already? Snow, deep freeze from Rockies to East Coast
Associated Press ^ | November 11, 2019

An arctic air mass that brought snow and ice to an area stretching from the Rocky Mountains to northern New England on Monday was poised to give way to record-breaking cold temperatures.

In Chicago, where as much as 6 inches (15 centimeters) of snow fell, an Envoy Air flight from Greensboro, North Carolina, slid off an icy runway at O’Hare International Airport as it tried to land at about 7:45 a.m. None of the 38 passengers and three crew members were injured, according to the city’s aviation department. And in Kansas, the highway patrol reported that a truck driving on the highway lost control on an icy road and slammed head-on into another truck, killing a juvenile in the other vehicle.

Snowfall totals could reach up to a foot or more in some areas of Indiana, Michigan and Vermont, according to the National Weather Service. Other places in the path of the air mass saw ice and rain. […]

The snow and ice was just the first punch from a weather system that pushed frigid air from Siberia across an area stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast. Temperatures below freezing were forecast as far south as Texas’ Gulf Coast. …

Frozen waters and solid snow cover were common on deer hunting openers (Nov. 15) in the 60’s & 70’s in MI. We sometimes got stuck getting out to the hunting camp. All this breathless weather hullabaloo is just comical.

I live in northwest Indiana, half way between Chicago and Indianapolis. This is our 2nd snow of the season, we got about 2 inches 3 weeks ago. So far we have 3 inches on the ground and it is 25 degrees at 5pm CST. Overnight low is to be around 12 degrees. South Bend, IN, about 80 miles N-E of me is in the Lake Michigan snow belt and forecast to get 8-12 inches. No panic here, just watching it snow.

This reminds me of the Veterans Day snow when I was in Washington, DC, in Nov, 1987. I lived near Andrews AFB and we got 16 inches that day. The Federal gov’t was closed for a couple of days in order to clear the roads and metro. The following July, Andrews AFB hospital had a baby boom.

OK is relatively decent for winter weather, no? Moreso the parts that are OKC and south of OKC? I mean, compared to the upper midwest, for example.

Was listening to a Burlington,Vermont station a couple of hours ago and they were predicting 8 inches of snow tonight and several more inches tomorrow.

Denver snowed a little today, but not bad. But already this is completely different from the last few winters, which were unusually mild. I think all of our ski areas are open now. Maybe we can scare away some Californians.

Scaring away some Californians would be really nice!

We get snow, ice, but usually gone after a few days. I like cold for a few days, but not much longer

This was the coolest summer in the 20 years I lived here. We had only about 3 100 degree days.

Grand Solar Minimum.


Was watching the transit of Mercury—on YouTube, too cloudy here to see the sun. The sun was spotless (except for tiny Mercury). Can say I can remember seeing it without at least some sunspots.

Sounds good. The thrill of freezing much of the year has a tendency to wear off!
:D
Of course, you got the twisters - but anybody who lives in wide swath of tornado alley states has that baked into the mix.

We’re supposed to get the year’s first snow tonight in eastern TN. A few hours of “wintry mix” (I hate wintry mix), and some snow, with temps in the high 20s and low 30s. Not ideal for road conditions.

My millennial friend (pastor) told me today that global warming causes both the cold and warm extremes. (As we will be dealing with a cold shocker tonight in the upper midwest) I think she has been brainwashed. Too bad.
