A storm that dropped 6 inches in Nebraska is on its way to the northeast. A cold weather jet from Canada will glide along the NE with a wintery conditions possible to slow morning commute. After 85 degree weather in Connecticut, temps will drop to under 30 again.

Christ, we just can't shake winter...

Just spent the entire weekend outside in shorts (even got sunburned!) and now snow. Screw this.

This does seem to be a very drawn out winter.

Snowing like hell right now here in NW NJ. Blowing a stink, too. 34F.

Already? According to he radar at The Weather channel, the snow is still in Albany. Probably in an hour or 2 it will hit me.

Been raining like a MF-er here in southern Connecticut all day. No snow though. Yet anyway.

Seriously, I was bouncing all over the highway down I-91 today. Sideways rain & crazy wind!

The radar shows it around Albany, NY. This is going to be a decent sized storm, 3-5 inches. It is going to be cold tommorow and stay around 45 on Thursday for West Hartford.

Virginny got some cold rain which almost turned into flakes this evening.
Yesterday it was about 80 and not a cloud in the sky.

So, basically, meteorology is a soft science at best?

It snowed quite a bit in Toronto this morning. I was none to pleased about having to brush my car off when I went in to work. I had put the snow brush away a couple weeks ago. Snow in April is not unheard of but it's usually just wet flurries. We got something like 5cm of wet, heavy stuff.

It's absolutely freezing out right now. -6c with a wind chill of -12. That's the kind of temps you get in early March, not mid-April. We're a hair shy of breaking a record low that's stood for over 70 years. Though Niagara Falls I'm hearing will likely break their record low for this date.

Fortunately it's going to go back up to normal by the end of the week. It's been a brutally long and cold winter this year. No wonder the IPCC is freaking out lately.

Blame Canada

I wouldn't put it that way. I would say meteorologists study a large, chaotic system with a very high degree of complexity. The window within which they can make reliable inferences about what it is and will be doing is continually getting wider.

I went to work in a short sleeve shirt yesterday, and came out to snow on my car this morning.

yayy

It's like medicine, the human body is incredibly complex. We still make discoveries about it even though we've been studying it since the beginning of mankind.

The mouse-over text is interesting. We've learned a lot about predicting the path of hurricanes, but there are a lot of things we still aren't good at.

It's pretty amazing to think that not so many years ago we didn't know a hurricane was coming at all until it was reported by a ship using radio, or it arrived.

To my CT peeps - never forget

couple weeks ago, forecast (and now-cast) shows rain, we look outside the window and see this:
