After a nor’easter barrels up the East Coast of the US this weekend, the active weather pattern will bring another powerful storm to the eastern half of the U.S. and create a variety of nasty weather.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, snow, flooding rain, damaging wind and severe weather are all in the forecast as the storm moves from the central US to the Great Lakes.

A.k.a, winter.
Happens every year about this time.
Give it about 6 months and it will be summer.
The cycle has been ongoing since the planet made its first trip around the sun.
Snow does not always equal cold.
It can still be a warmer than average winter and get pounded with snow.
As a matter of fact, it’s more likely as warmer air holds more moisture than colder air so that gives it more potential for snow.
Too cold and the air is too dry to hold enough moisture for significant snow. It jsut doesn’t melt.
I wish the government would get the weather under control like they’ve done with the border.
And I played good. 7 birdies! (scramble)
I’m not working any longer so let the snow come - I only worry about the power going out. I’m in KC so who knows what the next few days will bring. We got about an inch yesterday but expecting more.
at least they dint name it yet...
Why is everything such a big deal...it's winter...it's snow and ice and that's the way it is.....year after year after year.
I just got back from taking my motorcycle on a nice ride.☺
That reminds me of the blizzard of 93 which came thru nc Appalachia. We got four feet. National Guard was sent out.
I remember that storm of ‘77. Dopey cat ran out right at the beginning of it (never ran out before that). Saw it on the garage roof two later. Finally came back as if nothing happened.
Also the ones of early ‘94. We used to tie orange flags to the kids’ hats - that’s all we’d see as they ran up and down the paths we dug for them.
balmy holidays are a preview of something darker: bigger climate extremes, more natural disasters, the specter not of a world where humans suffer through these things and find ways to survive but where we’ve made the planet so uninhabitable that, in the longer run, the planet survives but we don’t. I was thinking about this while standing outside a science museum a couple of days ago with a friend. We were talking about the weather, but not the kind of small talk when you have nothing else to say. “I’m not sure our grandkids will even know what snow is,” she said, with a wry “I’m kidding, but I’m not” laugh.
In other “climate change” news.
A tornado has apparently touched down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
No news stories yet that I can find, but I saw this on X:

Wasn’t that 1978 ?
…..
Does Pfyzler have a jab for it?
Great reference! Missing Jimmy.
The one in the East Coast was. The one in the Sierras? Not so much. 🤣🏔️❄️
OH NOES OH NOES! We have THREE INCHES! LOL.
Except for Lake Effect. Oswego NY when the cold winds blow, watch out.
Mighta been. It was March, I'm pretty sure of that. Many side streets in Cambridge never got plowed at all. We lived on Garden Street, out near Fresh Pond. Usually had traffic noise 24/7. But all we could hear for the first week was snowmobiles and helicopters. Our power and gas never went out, though. Biggest problem was two active boys with cabin fever. Coulda been worse.
