A taste of winter, a taste of spring and then an onslaught of more Winter

Hope you guys enjoyed Saturday. I went to Giant to buy some ground beef for grilling burgers and it was all sold out! Apparently, everyone had the same idea. Saturday broke almost every record on the east coast for warmth. Simply an amazing day. Whats even more amazing is that it will be a memory at this time next week as we go into a more wintry type pattern with much colder weather and numerous snow threats. The change will be shocking to a lot of people but not to you guys as you have been warned about this for the past 2 weeks.

Its amazing that with the advances of computer modeling that not only can forecaters call the blowtorch 2-3 weeks out, but they can also call the return of winter which I have been keying on since late December. Well this week is interesting because we get some winter and some spring before the true pattern change affects us. There is a clipper heading towards the Mid Atlantic Coast that could give us snow tonight/early tomorrow morning. Yes, there will be an impressive cool down for the early to mid part of the week. After that, it does get warm again temporarily as cold dumps into the west which forces a ridge in the SE atlantic to build and give us balmy weather again next weekend.

However, an artic cold front will be heading east and by the 15^th, will come through and we will begin an extended stretch of winter. Hopefully by midweek, I can start to key on when me might be getting snow/ice..but Im thinking at some point next week, we will get snow.

So to summarize

Jan 8-11 Cold,Chance of light snow tonight/early tomororw morning

Jan 12-15 One last blowtorch….cold front racing East

Jan 15-20 Much colder, Chance of snow/ice
