Good Wednesday everyone and thanks for blogging with us. The weather around here continues to be very easy forecasting for the next week or so as there isn’t going to be much change. It’s a what you see is what you get kind of forecast.
Since things are so quiet… let’s start talking a little bit about how our North American snow cover is looking as we start moving closer and closer to fall. Tracking snow cover is a very important and fun thing to do to get you in that winter mood. After all… a good snow cover across Canada in the fall is usually a good sign for those hoping for a cold winter down here in the states.
I am going to show you the latest maps from the north pole. Think of these maps as looking down on the top of the world that has been flattened out for you. Our first map is the snow and ice cover from this time last year…
Now compare that to the same exact date from this year…
You will notice 2008 is showing much more in the way of snow and ice than we were seeing this time last year. So… we are off to a good start and I think we are going to see this increase in snows continue across the northern hemisphere. I have noted in recent weeks just how cold Canada has been and that is HUGE for more snows. Check out this precip type forecast…
More snow for Canada.. eh!
So chew on all this information for a little while and we will continue to update the progress of the snow cover in the coming weeks.
I will have your BIG news with my post later Tonight so check back for the latest and greatest in breaking weatherdude news! 
Take care.

That’s all well and good Chris, but what good will it do us folks under this dern RAIN AKA SNOW DOME! LOL! Alas it always comes down to the dome!
Thanks Chris for the winter preview…I had a hunch we would see a whole lot of snow in Canada this early.
Thanks Chris, I sure would like to see a white christmas. What is the big news? I can’t wait?
Have a question for anyone that knows. Will the tropics stay calm for the next 2 or 3 weeks. I am headed to the east coast for a little R&R and hoping no hurricanes will show up and spoil the fun.
Hopefully I won’t get banned for this but the big news is that Chris is taking Paul Kocin’s job at The Weather Channel as their “Winter Weather Expert” to handle storms.
Dry as a bone… I sort of like this weather, but yet I don’t. The temperatures are PERFECT though.
OK WXman I hope you are pulling that out of your…you know what, because that is not very cool!! Chris, use the force don’t turn to the dark side!!!!!
The Weather Channel…hmmm… I just cant see Chris Bailey the country boy living in HOT-lanta Ga.. But stranger things have happened,like Chris Bailey leaving kyt…lol..oh well I guess we can guess,and guess til we’re blue in the face…I just wonder who has hit the nail on the head with trying to guess what’s going on now…………
Well there sure isnt much to talk about weatherwise, we are in those so called BORING months where its typically dry and quiet.So we just whistle and twiddle our thumbs so to speak til the good stuff hits.. I have seen where the devestation in Texas from Ike is quit phenomenal, sad to it sure seems like Katrina got alot more news coverage than Ike, and Ike has caused grave devestation for many folks who will return to nothing but a huge pile of garbage..SAD..but I suppose those are the risks you take for living on the coastal planes. O.K. I guess I’ve rambled on enough this morning so everyone have a good day. And get ready for the drum roll tonight…( I GOT IT !! Chris is running for president!!)..LOL..LOL…
memo from the heatmizer: doesn’t do you much good if the flow and jet stream come off the pac coast and move east and the lastest cfs is describing for most of the winter.
go away heatmizer! we’re slipping into drought quick.
KICK,,,!!!,, SMACK,,,!!!,,, STOMP!!!..THe HEATMIZER !!!………………………
MR. SNOWMIZER, AND JACK FROST ARE COMING TO TOWN !!..
O.K. BAILEY its about time to blow the whistle on this big secret..The suspense is killing us all…
I would VOTE for Chris for president in a minute I hope he’s not going to the weather channel i hope he’s coming back to lexington I miss him on WKYT Chris the weather channel don’t give mush weather about ky but we do have very boring weather around here….
I would VOTE for Chris for president n a minute Chris I hope you are not taking a job for the weather channel they don’t give much weather for ky but you know ky does have the most boring weather…..
Sorry guys about posting twice my computer is wacky today Chris I’m am on pins and needle I hope your post is early tonight.
Honestly, I know what the big announcement is. It is indeed complicated, but I can tell you that Chris is not going to The Weather Channel. In fact, Tim was on the money a few days ago with his comment…but I am not going to spoil the surprise for everyone…including Chris.

OK Chris, I am awaiting your big news like everyone else is. I also hope it`s alot earlier than you normally post cuz, I go to bed early and don`t get to read your new post til I wake up the next morning. I just hope it`s not going to make us all sad. BTW, sorry I haven`t posted in a while but I do have a new baby in the house, along with my other 3 children so they all keep me pretty busy. I do read your blog when I can get a little break. Take care Chris. Looking forward to the big news, I think.LOL! Later.
Always love the winter tidbits Chris. Look at this article I found on the Heatmizer.
“Heatmizer arrested today just past the Kentucky / Tennessee border after disappearing for several months. He’s charged with the abuse and torture of winter weather systems here in Kentucky, and may also be responsible for drought conditions in 2007. A full hearing on the allegations is expected within the next several days.”
Chris is taking his blog and moving to Happy Valley. Of course that would be worse than if he went to Atlanta.
Chris please say you are coming back home to Lexington….WE MISS YOU!
Along with the big secret, how about some talk about some rain in the near future?? I am wasting $50.00 per treatment for my lawn when I don’t get any rain to help the green and healthyness for the lawn itself.
Also, hate to throw water on the winter/snow fire but read this article and thought you guys would like to see as well….http://blogs.usatoday.com/weather/2008/09/no-relief-in-si.html
