Peeps,

Thursday into Friday – this a Winter Storm Warning snowstorm hands down peeps. Gas up the blower!

This trend is our friend. It is trend colder and snowier – SNOW QUEEN and PRNICESS unite!! It looks to be a snow to possible ice storm overall with more snow N&W on NYC and time will tell. These are the trends we like to see as snow weenies. Barney Alert for this one folks – boy he has been busy these last 3 weeks around here.

At this time what we can expect and this will change it always does!!

Preliminary Start time Daybreak Thursday morning 8-9 AM ish

Worst part between 10/11AM until about 12-1AM – some pretty intense snow bands during this period of 1-2.5″ per hour rates possible

End Time Friday 6-8AMish maybe a bit longer light percip of wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain

Snow totals 4-8” NNJ, Ice –Sleet then freezing rain to end about another .25” of these combined

NYC Metro 3-6” then sleet, freezing rain about .25”

CNJ – 3-6” and same as NYC but may end as plan rain

Here are the maps:

Maps with higher snow ratios which may happen with some intense banding.

Orange is sleet

Pink is freezing rain

Disaster in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas West VA North Virginia

Power outages galore and the temps last night as we were all sleeping warm n cozy in our beds hit below zero and teens for a majority of this region. I texted to my peeps Ralphy F – he’s the best, Bach squared, and some others that it was colder in NOLA and 50 miles into the Gulf of Mexico than in NNJ last night with the wind chills!!!

People are sleeping in their cars, no heat, no running water, rolling blackouts from North Dakota to Texas covering 12 states and why?? Well many factors but snow and ice and extreme cold are causing the “Green Technologies” to fail and not work. Wind Mills are frozen in place, solar panels are covered with snow and ice and some have cracked under these cold conditions. Not a good recipe right now.

BARBARIC COLD for this region last night

Power Outages = BAD!

UM this is nuts yuo can hear the electricity humming

All the tail lights on are people sleeping their cars

 

From LONG TERM Scientists climatologist David Dilley on the question from my NJWO group president who asked him about this winter and the upcoming winters:

“Pretty much as expected Al.  Great to see you received a lot of snow, very little more to the northeast.  Our cottage in Maine only has about 10 inches on the ground, most storms have been snow changing to rain.

Rest of the country is getting pounded, worst freeze in Texas in decades, also the story in Europe, parts of Asia.

The weak La Nina seems to be briefly be breaking the Arctic Vortex dam, but short lived.  This is however a very good sign that global cooling is setting in.  I do expect a moderate to strong El Nino during the 2022-23 winter, will be very stormy with lots of snow in the northeast with big northeasters.  Also a bad freeze for Florida.”
