Its that time of the year.
Warm days.
Cold nights.

The PNW got hit with a bomb cyclone of a storm today. We had 20~30 MPH wind where we live down in the trees and nothing big came down, we only lost power for several moments.
The east side was not so lucky, there are thousands without power and two people were killed in Preston by a falling tree.
The picture looked terrible, a 3'+ tree direct hit on the passenger compartment of a compact sedan.
the last time we had a bomb cyclone AKA explosive cyclogenesis was back in January 1978. Categorized as a Severe Blizzard (the highest scale of blizzard) and packing winds of 100 mph. The winds here hit 80 mph. After the storm passed we had loads of snow with huge drifts. It was 2 feet deep in our laneway. It was unreal. I know at least 1 person died here in Ontario from the storm and around 70 died in the states.The PNW got hit with a bomb cyclone of a storm today.

Tonight
Rain and snow showers, becoming all snow after 8pm. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 32. West wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
Frost warning along the shore in CT tonight... freeze warning inland.
I'm not happy.
Been freezing overnight for a while here now. There's usually frost on the roofs in the morning but it melts by afternoon.
Since when? Early August?
man, -R is some seriously bad weather.
just a taste of what is to come.Didn't amount to much overnight. Car & deck had a little snow on them but the ground wasn't covered at all.
There's slight chances of a bit of snow tonight & tomorrow night then it looks like we get some nice sunny days over the weekend, highs in the mid 50s(F) maybe.
I think i saw on the local news(Erie) on the upcoming winter they were saying it was going to be a bit warmer than normal. You're close enough it might effect you too, if that's what happens. One of the 'Ninas' is going on so that'll effect things one way or the other.I am hoping we don't have an unusually cold winter.
