Good afternoon gang. Sometimes the blog likes to take a little road trip for some cool weather video from other parts of the country. The Blizzard of 2010 has paralyzed much of the northeastern part of the country with 2 feet of snow in many places. Parts of New Jersey are digging out from more than 30″ of the white stuff. Wow!

If you have ever wondered what it’s like to be in a blizzard in New York City… this video is for you…



Here is an awesome time lapse video of the snowfall…




Your friendly weather dude STRONGLY considered hopping a plane to NYC late Christmas Day to experience this storm firsthand. Maybe we could organize a blizzard chase here on the blog. Would anyone be interested in something like that?

By the way… send me your pics of the Christmas weekend snow around here and I will try to get them on the blog tonight or Tuesday. Email Chris

Some words on the future…

– Cold temps will hang tough into Tuesday before some moderation takes place Wednesday as milder air moves in for the end of the week.

– This milder air is likely to have a touch of light snow and light freezing rain on the front side Wednesday night. That would change to rain for Thursday.

– Showers will be scattered for New Year’s Eve with temps near 50. New Year’s Day looks wet with falling late day temps from west to east.

– Sunday will see MUCH colder air working in with some light snow or flurries possible.

– I am watching a potential winter weather maker for the middle and end of next week.

– The blocking continues and may go into the tank once again by the second week or so of January. This could lead to some very wild wintry weather with some true arctic shots for the middle and end of the month.

Have a good evening and take care.
