November 17 2018

We are in a cold pattern that may feel like winter as much as it looks. The long range trend does support more long duration cold events and snow in December. But until then we have some holiday week weather that will be a little interesting. This weekend will be dry and eventually erode away the clouds on the north end. One little system of interest after midnight Monday into Tuesday. Then very cold air for Thanksgiving Day.

Extremes breed extremes. So after the record early snow and cold, there will be a big bounce to end the Thanksgiving Weekend. Wait until you see the numbers below.  Here is a quick look.

As always, links to related recent articles and all the snow stuff at the bottom of each post.
