China Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 'Freak Storm' Headed for Texas Could Dump Entire Season of Snow Overnight The Texas panhandle could see an entire season's worth of snow starting on Thanksgiving and continuing into Friday as a southeastward-bound storm progresses from the Pacific Northwest. Northern Texas averages 17 inches of snow throughout the winter season, according to the National Weather Service. Excessive bouts of snow have already hit the northeastern part of the country last week, and another large accumulation of snow is set for Texas beginning on Thanksgiving and continuing overnight into Friday. One forecast model shows the storm dumping as much as 24 inches of snow on Amarillo and 12 to 18 inches in the surrounding areas. Meteorologists expect the storm to impede Thanksgiving travel for a day or two after the holiday. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Severe weather 'outbreak' to impact South, threatening 25M from Texas to Illinois A massive storm system moving into the Pacific Northwest on Sunday is predicted to bring severe weather ranging from strong winds and rain to a few tornadoes in the South, meteorologists warn, as weary travelers return home from their Thanksgiving weekend. About 25 million people in the south-central region of the United States will be affected by severe thunderstorms later Tuesday, according to AccuWeather. The system will likely impact portions of northeastern Texas, northwestern Louisiana, and central and eastern Arkansas first. The National Weather Service warned of “severe storms with a threat for strong tornadoes, wind damage, and some hail will be possible Tuesday” in the Mississippi Valley.

China Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Dreaming of a white Christmas? AccuWeather forecasters weigh in on where it’s most likely It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas as colorful lights adorn homes, and decorations and seasonal favorites are on display in stores around the country, but many may be wondering whether Mother Nature will also create a wintry scene in time for the holiday. AccuWeather forecasters released their annual white Christmas forecast on Friday, noting that while chances aren't overwhelmingly high for large parts of the nation, a few pockets across the country may luck out just in time for the holiday. AccuWeather's team of long-range forecasters, led by Senior Meteorologist Paul Pastelok, has been closely examining key weather patterns that could favor snow in time for the holidays across the United States. One of the most influential weather patterns includes La Niña, which will be in play for the third winter in a row, according to Pastelok. This pattern, which originates with cooler-than-normal waters in the central and eastern Pacific around the equator, often drives an active storm track across the northern tier of the U.S. and leaves southern sections of the country drier than normal. Despite it being the third year in a row with La Niña, Pastelok says that his holiday season will not shape up exactly like the past two years. The pattern could hinder chances for a "white Christmas," which is defined by having at least an inch of snow on the ground on Dec. 25. Even though favorable conditions will develop to allow snow and intense cold weather to spread across the Northeast during the first half of December, the later part of the month will feature moderating temperatures and lower chances for a snowstorm. According to Pastelok, as the holiday nears, the forecast weather pattern will support more rain and perhaps ice compared to snow.

China Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 ‘High impact’ winter storm could lead to travel nightmare for millions of Americans Just as millions of Americans begin to travel over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house, there is growing confidence that a significant winter storm will develop later this week and impact a large swath of the country, according to the FOX Forecast Center. “Our confidence is growing, and what that means is that there’s more agreement on the forecast data, so the significant winter storm becomes more likely,” FOX Weather meteorologist Amy Freeze said. “The timing right now is that this could last into Christmas weekend. For some, it’s a nightmare. For others, this could be dreaming of a white Christmas come true.” With the storm still several days away, details remain highly uncertain due to a wide spread of potential scenarios depicted in forecast models — typical in forecasts this far in advance. Here is what the FOX Forecast Center is watching so far. “It’s a significant winter storm, bringing rain, wind and snow and causing travel issues,” Freeze said. “But the heavy snow and strong wind, strong wind, I can’t emphasize that enough, can really disrupt the travel and maybe even take out some power.” Light to moderate snow will first develop on Wednesday across the Northern Rockies and northern Plains ahead of an arctic cold front that will be charging south out of Canada, according to the FOX Forecast Center. That snow will then spread south and east ahead of a front Wednesday night and will likely reach the central Plains and Upper Midwest on Thursday morning.

SkinsFTW Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Nice, last year in Knoxville we got a couple inches of snow. This year we bought a house and moved near Chattanooga and it looks like there might be some snow here this winter too. I bet Noggin is really going to like that lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 A ‘once in a generation’ winter storm will impact nearly every state and cripple Christmas travel A major winter storm and cold blast will impact nearly every state and bring what the National Weather Service is calling a “once in a generation type event” that will cripple travel on some of the busiest travel days of the year. The strengthening storm will bring more than a foot of snow and possible blizzard conditions to the Midwest, as the weather service warns of “life-threatening” wind chills for millions. More than 90 million people are under winter weather alerts and more than 87 million are under wind chill alerts. The alerts stretch across 37 states, dipping as far south as the Texas/Mexico border. The number of people under winter alerts and wind chill alerts has grown to over 100 million people, or roughly a third of the US population, according to the National Weather Service. The cold will stick around for Christmas weekend, making this the coldest Christmas in roughly 40 years for portions of the Plains and Midwest. Wednesday: The storm will strengthen over the Northern Plains through the day as heavy snow falls across much of the Rockies, the Northern Plains and into the Midwest. Slick roads will lead to travel headaches and airport delays through places like Minneapolis, Omaha and Rapid City. This system will bring 5 to 9 inches of light fluffy snow across the region, with “the highest amounts just north and west of the Twin Cities,” said the weather service office in Twin Cities. While snow will steadily fall across the region, the high winds won’t kick in until Thursday. Denver will go from a high of 47 on Wednesday to 10 degrees below zero by daybreak Thursday. That would be the city’s coldest day in 32 years, according to the weather service. Cheyenne, Wyoming, recently dropped 32 degrees in just eight minutes. Thursday: Thursday will be the most difficult day for travel. The storm will be hitting the Midwest extremely hard with heavy snow and strong winds. Western Minnesota will face not only blizzard conditions, but potentially deadly wind chills Thursday and Friday. “Whiteout conditions are expected during that time with travel becoming very difficult or impossible,” said the weather service. “This event could be life-threatening if you are stranded with wind chills in the 30 below to 45 below zero range.” Chicago could also face blizzard conditions with winds gusting as high as 50 mph, with 2 to 4 inches of snow forecast.

We go several times a winter. this storm isn’t very good for it but in general the constant cold weather helps with making snow and eventually they’ll get hit harder. last year at wisp we got 13” in one day.
