In today’s forecast, we’re tracking a huge winter storm this weekend, followed by what could be the coldest weather in years next week! This weekend’s storm will bring heavy snow from the Central Plains to the Northeast, while the South faces a severe weather outbreak, with the risk of damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes. Meanwhile, flooding rain will impact parts of the Ohio Valley and Southeast, adding to the widespread impacts. But the real shock comes next week—an Arctic blast could bring the coldest temperatures in years, plunging much of the U.S. into a deep freeze with dangerously low wind chills. A brutal stretch of winter weather is ahead—get all the latest details in today’s in-depth forecast!
But not the specifics like now, and the severe weather down south was not a given then.
Forecasts more than a few days out are inherently unreliable, so why bother posting about possibilities that may never materialize?
I swear, people are never satisfied.
If we weren’t warned about sever weather and people died, they’d be castigated, too.
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Thanks, watched a little and bookmarked!
Yep, looks that way.
You’re welcome. You can skip ahead on parts. He gives the projected totals at the end.
You’re welcome. Is she in or near the mountains?
Thanks for those names.
“Sigh”
Get over yourself. It is February. Thirty inches of snow and ice was completely ordinary for the majority of my life. We used to call them nor’easters and Alberta clippers, not bomb cyclones. The whole weather doom industry needs to calm down.
I don’t know why you think I’m looking down on everyone else who is dealing with much worse. I have relatives who just got rooms inside in WNC. No heat, but they bought space heaters and sleeping bags.
Weather thread... Talked weather... 1:00 p.m. Tee-Time... Swim after...
LOL, you video that? I saw YouTube of kids doing that too. The kids in our neighborhood usually use old Christmas trees as sleights.
monday here a high of +04 and low of -12
I’m not exactly sure. I think more near than in.
PM
No, that was twenty years ago. Yeah, we had a camcorder but I didn’t think of it. Should have.
I took pictures of what it looked like. The sidewalks were chasms with 3-4 feet of snow on either side.
SO glad we moved out of the snow belt.
Nasty cold.
It’s just started snowing here, just a light, fine snow.
It’s the icing tomorrow I’m wondering about.
They’re forecasting 8 or so hours of freezing rain and a high of 22F. So I don’t get how they can forecast a trace to 1/10 inch of ice from that.
Time will tell.
Actually now they’re forecasting 26F and up to 1/3 “ of ice, which I find more believable.
And Monday the winds are REALLY supposed to be picking up with sustained winds of over 20 MPH. Which means higher gusts.
And any ice is NOT going anywhere for a while because of the temperatures, and likely, neither are we.
Not everyone pays attention to the weather.

I just hope the power grid holds up in Texas.
I took pictures of what it looked like. The sidewalks were chasms with 3-4 feet of snow on either side.
I remember as a child growing up outside Chicago,
walking with my younger sister six blocks to grade school and it was like walking down white corridors higher than our our heads. No buses in those days. the cloak rooms were piled high with coats and galoshes, wet gloves...we had our Halloween parade in our costumes on the playground in Six inches of snow.
Oh , and it was up hill both there and back !!!
You sure it wasn’t 6 MILES????
