Peeps,
The storm that slammed the upper Midwest, Great Lakes Region casued over 48 deaths so far, 1200 flights cacnelled, thousand of strnded holiday travelers, storms surges and flooding not seen since Sandy, 2/3 of the country under some type of winter weather advisory, a flash freeze, snow into Southern Florida. Yes it was extreme but as I said last year and earlier thi syear and will harp on this, it is ramping up and will continue to do so. We set the record for greatest 24 hours cahnge in temperatures, record low and record low high temperatures in over 500 locations.

Major Thaw then….
We have as I stated last Friday that we have a major warm up, thaw. This is to be expected after a massive cold spell.
This warm up will last through the 1st week of January and then we look to head back to a winter and it may be a ferocious return by mid-January which is the beginning of the heart of winter. Some are comparing it to 2014-15 winter that started in mid-January and ran though until late March. I’ll take 6-8 weeks please and then get a transition to Spring please but I have no control over this.
Redaction: I said that it was going to be as cold since Washington crossed the Delaware but our resident ALQ weather weenie history teacher Kuz said that the temperature was noted by documents to be in the low 30’s and that there was no ice on the Delaware in the form of ice bergs and no way did a general stand up in a row boat with an enemy onshore!! A german painter painted that famous picture.

Sigma +6 heat flux which again is huge in the orangy right side of the chart/diagram.
If this verifies its a MASSIVE heat flux of warmth at ALL levels of the Stratosphere which would result in down welling of cold air from the Arctic into the mid latitudes and southern latitudes as well like we just experience but in the heart of winter. Time will tell for sure.
Be grateful for all that you have, life is short and we only pass through this place we call Earth, home once, one time. Make the most of it, enjoy it, treasure it and thank God for the opportunities and everthing he grants you.
Updates to come.
