What's The Temperature Where You Are?
National Weather Service ^ | 12/31/17 | ROCKLOBSTER

Posted on 12/31/2017 3:01:17 PM PST by ROCKLOBSTER

Dangerously cold temperatures will be in place tonight to ring in the new year for many locations located east of the Rocky Mountains. Locations across the Northeast and as far south as Kansas into Ohio will be below zero at midnight with wind chills of -20 to -40 for many of these locations. Therefore, locations from northeastern Montana into portions of the Midwest and Northeast are under a Wind Chill Warning with Wind Chill Advisories in place as far south as the central Gulf Coast through Monday morning. Monday's highs will stay below freezing for much of Texas to the Carolinas which is a good 20 to 30 degrees below average.

Winter weather advisories are currently in effect for western and northern Texas as well as across the lower Mississippi valley where light accumulations of snow and freezing rain could cause slick conditions through Monday morning. Monday evening through Tuesday will be mostly dry across the lower 48 with the exception of rain showers for Florida and snow showers the Great Lakes. Snowfall accumulations downwind of the Great Lakes are expected to be locally heavier across the eastern U.P. of Michigan and east of Lakes Erie and Ontario where additional totals of roughly 6-12 inches are in the forecast through Tuesday evening.

Needless to say, temperatures will remain well below average for most locations east of the Rockies into the middle of the week but some moderation is expected across the central and northern High Plains starting Tuesday with downslope flow developing. The Southwest will remain warm and dry into the middle of the week with temperatures ranging between 5 to 15 degrees above early January normals.

I agree. I grew up in Southern Illinois and the humidity there is much worse than in Tennessee. I think all the trees in Tennessee suck the excess moisture/humidity out of the air. Really I have no clue.... ;)

Not gloating, just responding factually to ROCKLOBSTER’s question.

It's 29° in Lockport LA. I'm predicting a cold winter. The sun is going into a solar minimum. The last time the sun was in this kind of minimum was called the mini ice age. I hope I'm wrong.

To: Do the math

I hope that you are right it is a mini Ice Age. Based on previous cycles, we are past due for a real “Ice Age” - the kind with mile-high ice over Seattle. (2 miles thick in Chicago iirc).

BTW - we currently are in an “Ice Age” (being the latest geologic time period there is). But - we are in an “inter-glacial period - so in between the big glaciations.

I’ve done the math, and I pray that I’m wrong. Unlike the climate, which is a chaotic dynamical system (100% unpredictable), the solar cycles are very predictable. The sun is cooling down. Al Gore is an idiot.

New Years morning I’ll be running the Atlanta Resolution 5K race (3 miles). It will be in the 20’s. Very cold for Atlanta.

Yes, the last “real Ice Age” nearly killed off humans. We’ll do better next time - maybe a billion of us will survive...

I got up to check on our animals & my shop: NWS says 4 deg. F, with a degree or 2 drop left by 7 am, but they are SE of us — thermometer on my back porch (fairly accurate) says -1 now. That’s about 30 deg. below our normal low. Brrr...!

That makes perfect sense.

We moved to Tennessee from Palm Springs. I was and remain so bedazzled by the amount of greenery here. It is so beautiful.

And you can buy guns without waiting periods. Instant background checks.

I walked on the beach in shorts and a tee shirt yesterday. Some were in the ocean swimming.

Located a few miles north of West Palm Beach, Fl. I will need a sweat shirt the rest of this week, highs maybe in the 50’s for a few days.

How I miss the cold.....

Waking to a crisp -5°F this morning in northcentral PA.

At least there's no wind at the moment, and that's a very good thing.

Happy New Year, fellow FReepers !
