A very fast and active weather pattern will continue across the United States for the next week or more. The pattern is definitely setting up as anticipated with El Nino in charge. The southern jet stream is very active with a quick flow across the southern tier of the U.S. This is bringing several quick-moving storm systems from the Pacific Coast through the southern Rockies and into the Southeast. In addition, several surges of cold-arctic airmasses have made it south through the Plains and eastward into the Ohio Valley and portions of New England. This has already set up to the recent major snow that just occurred from the Plains into the Great Lakes. The same storm system also brought very heavy rains to southern California and other locations in the South such as the Tennessee Valley. I had 6.8” of rain in less than 24-hours here at my house in the Huntsville area.

Great.
We’re traveling from Detroit to Cleveland on Christmas Day.
Poo.
You might want to leave the car in the garage and take the snowmobile instead. ;~))
We’ll take the truck instead of the minivan for sure!
I’m beginning to think Dog Sled.
sounds like a replay of Christmas ‘83 when we had Arctic Blasts and -10/-15 temperatures here in PA.
(yeah, I know that’s just a typical winter day to our Canadian friends)
BTW, what were the Warmers thinking having their big summit in a Nordic country in the middle of December? Do they really believe all the things they say about AGW? Obviously not (hide the decline).
Warmed up to 28 degrees today here in Denver. Very nice considering it was -10 not to long ago.
Well be careful. I90 is not a joy ride in the winter.
Thanks! By Sandusky is pretty bad but not as bad as out East and we are staying in Brunswick.
